~ Los Angeles, the Cliffside Villa ~
Later that evening…
Sarah was in a room full of medical machines, sitting next to the bed and observing Vasily as the steady sound of the heart rate monitor filled the space.
Vasily's head was shaven due to the recent surgeries and he had exposed stitches over his scalp. His skin was pale and slightly grayish, and he lost a lot of weight, making him a shadow of a man he used to be.
Sarah sighed. When Aiden was in a coma, he looked like he was sleeping, but with Vasily, it's obvious that his body is unwell.
"Get better…", Sarah said. "I need you to get better, Uncle."
She choked a bit on her words as this was the first time she called him Uncle, yet he didn't hear her. Sarah wanted to tell him that she was sorry for everything, but she held her words back because he will wake up and she will tell him while he is watching her… and she hoped that he will forgive her.
