315 Chapter 315

The sound of the heart monitor buzzing in one even pitch was haunting as I flew into the operating room and over to where Tara lay perfectly still on the bed. Even with the volume almost completely down, it filled my head from the inside. I pressed my ear to her chest, willing there to be some sort of sign that she either wasn't dead or that this wouldn't last, but I heard nothing but my own static breath.

Brandon entered the room, followed by Christian, and I vaguely remembered having heard Brandon knock on his office door while I was rushing back to Tara's side. I prayed Christian would be able to do something, anything to help, but he wasn't a doctor, and Jamie was out of it. Maybe Cale was available. Maybe I should call him. I moved out of Christian's way and let him do his own examination.
