Kyra's POV
I waited almost four hours outside the operating room before Emily's surgeon finally emerged. Matt immediately jumped up from his chair despite his unhealed wound.
"Doctor, how is she?" I asked urgently.
The doctor removed his mask, looking exhausted. "The surgery was successful. She wasn't wearing a seatbelt during the accident and suffered severe impact trauma, but we've managed to control the internal bleeding and address her other injuries."
I felt weak with relief, my knees nearly buckling. Nathan quickly steadied me with his arm.
"How soon will she wake up?" Matt asked desperately.
The doctor frowned. "It's hard to say. Her body is recovering, but her will to live seems weak. In cases like this, patients sometimes need more time."
He then turned to face us. "Who is Emily's immediate family? I need to discuss some matters with them."
I swallowed hard. "Her family isn't here. I'm the closest thing she has to family right now."
