As the doctor interrogated Sam, he pursed his lips and replied, “He knows he lost his leg.”
“How could you tell him?!” the doctor cried in agitation. “Didn’t I say not tell him?! He’s weak, and
knowing about his amputation wouldn’t work for his recovery! Can’t you be more careful as his family
member?!”
And when the doctor was done, Lindsay could not hold back either. “How could you be so terrible,
Sam?! Don’t you understand Ryan’s condition?! Why would you tell him?! Don’t you know what’s right
at your age?! If he’s hurt because of you… I-I’ll give up!”
Lindsay started bawling at that, and Marvin had to comfort her.
However, he was clearly angry as well and told Sam, “What you did today is really disappointing, Sam.
You’re thirty—don’t you understand the consequences?”
Sam wanted to explain himself but soon decided it was futile.
It was always that way since they were children-he would always be the one at fault whenever he and
Ryan were at odds.
If he said he never told Ryan now and that Ryan had guessed it himself, no one would believe it
anyway-they would just believe that he was lying.
Lindsay promptly turned toward the doctorthen while sobbing hysterically. “What should we do now,
doctor?! How bad is it, my son knowing his condition? You have to save him-he’s only in his thirties and
still has much to live for! I can’t outlive him!”
The doctor sighed exasperatedly. “He’s stable and not in danger, but being depressed like this or
sudden outbursts could lead to worse situations. But it’s already happened, so we just have to do our
best to comfort him and help him accept reality.”
Lindsay remained hysterical. But he’s been successful even as a child and worked for the top research
center of the country! Can someone as proud as him accept his disability?! I can’t even imagine how
much he was hurting when he found out… I’d rather be the one hurting than him! How could fate be so
cruel?!”
“Please calm down,” the doctor told her. “First of all, we need to be positive around the patient, in order
to offer him strength and assurance. Don’t be sadder than him, or you’d overwhelm him. Don’t worry -
acceptance is a process, and it takes time.”
Lindsay simply kept sobbing.
Just then, Ryan was wheeled out of the ER, and Lindsay leaped toward him, calling out tentatively,
“Are you alright, Ryan? Does it hurt in any way?! Tell me… Tell Mommy…”
Ryan kept his eyes closed and stayed silent.
He was clearly conscious and reluctant to deal with anyone, and that reaction only left Lindsay hurting
more.
However, the doctor told him that he must first control his own emotions and quickly said, “I’ll be with
you whatever happens, alright? You have nothing to be afraid of….”
Ryan did not respond, while tears rolled down from the corner of his eyes.
Lindsay’s heart could break right then, and she kept wiping them for him while telling him repeatedly:
“Be strong, Ryan.”
“We’re family.”
“We will get through this.”
Nonetheless, Ryan stayed silent even after he was wheeled into the ICU.
Everyone could only watch from the door, with Lindsay’s tears never stopping.
Marvin’s eyes were welling up with tears as well…
Sam was silent, his pain palpable, while Quinn had quietly shed tears a few times.
Soon, they watched as the staff inside lowered the folding curtains on the window of the ICU.
