Nora was pacing back and forth by the doors to the operating department. Ian was seated in the waiting area but his foot could not stop shaking. Despite his usual stoic expression, he had never felt so worried about someone in his life, besides that one time when it was his grandpa.
Richard was seated in the waiting area with his head hanging low. No one wanted to disturb him especially knowing how this experience has made him feel about himself. Alex was seated a few seats away from Richard but close to Amy as she attended to a call.
"Let auntie read you a story, I'll be back later... Uh, let's do this, I'll be there when you wake up... Of course! I promise! Now be a good girl and go to bed.... Mm. I love you sweetheart, goodnight", she made kissing sounds before hanging up.
