"How did the surgery go?" Louis asked, tapping his foot impatiently on the floor.
Mia was happy to announce the surgery went well.
"It went perfectly well, we're looking at anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks of recovery."
"We'll also be monitoring his condition throughout the following weeks," she added.
"We'll inform you if anything happens and there's also the possibility he might recover more quickly."
"It's only a possibility, of course, but we'll find out more over time."
Louis thanked her before slumping down on a chair.
Marcus' family was on their way to the hospital already - he never imagined meeting them this way, but that wasn't his main focus either.
He was relieved the surgery went well, that Marcus would recover even if it'd take weeks.
He held Marcus' hands, 'You wake up.'
'You wake up, and you come back to me,' he mumbled.
'Okay?' He held Marcus' hand.
He heard the door open.
