Outside the Surgery Room.
Lucas Scott's tall body leaned against the spot closest to the door, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on the red emergency light above the door.
His eyes were weary, his body tense like a string about to snap at any moment.
Chester Yale and Evelyn Sherman, Collins Aiden and Ella Jackson, were all standing nearby.
Seeing him like this, they wanted to console him but did not know where to begin.
When Stella York insisted on keeping the child, none of them opposed.
The current risks were anticipated.
Yet when unexpected events truly happen, everyone's heart feels like it's hanging in the balance, unsure of when it might fall.
No one can stand that taste, let alone Lucas Scott.
"Parents..." When Emma Aiden rushed over, the scene she witnessed was one of silent waiting.
They were all quietly keeping vigil, no one daring to speak.
She stepped forward and obediently stood beside Ella Jackson, not speaking immediately.
