Mrs. Havertz: "Dr. Carter, stop, we need to talk."

Dr. Carter: "Yes, Mrs. Havertz. Just please hurry up. "

Mrs. Havertz: "How on earth did that happen? How can you endanger him like that by going with a scalpel into the room? and this Dr. Alfred, whose indifference almost killed my son. I want Kai to be transferred to another hospital right now."

Dr. Carter: "Doctors carry scalpels almost all the time. You might need it to save someone's life, and I, unfortunately, can't see the future to leave it before coming when you paged me. Concerning Dr. Alfred, I honestly don't know, but I will check why he didn't come and get back to you. "

Mrs. Havertz: "You are all a pack of irresponsible beings. Can't you see he is deteriorating because of you? I want the transfer right now. "

Dr. Carter: "I can't transfer him right now; it is too dangerous and not good for his state. Also, may you ask yourself that same question, Mrs. Havertz, what did you do that made your son deteriorate? "

Mrs. Havertz: "Nonsense, I didn't do anything."

Dr. Carter: "Oh, and what was Kai having his psychotic breakdown for?"

Mrs. Havertz: "For being here that long, obviously, because of you and this brainless girlfriend he has."

Dr. Carter: "I really have to go, so just please hear this. You apparently love your son very much, but believe me when I say that what you are doing is only going to harm him. Him knowing about the trial is what led to this. He is afraid he is losing everything. He lost his health, arguably his career, especially after the trial, and not to mention how you can eventually make his girlfriend leave. Try to think for once about what Kai wants, not what you want. "

Mrs. Havertz: "If you didn't.."

Dr.Carter (voice becoming higher): "Mrs. Havertz, you are harming your son. Stop blaming everyone and try to help him. Please.. "

Kai's mum was taken aback by the way Dr. Carter stated this. She still didn't believe she was involved in Kai's misery by any means, but she took a few steps back to sit in front of the room, allowing Dr. Carter to run away shaking his head.

Mrs. Havertz: "So, you too believe this? I am harming him."

Mr. Havertz: "All I can say is you seem to care more about his rights than about him right now."

Mrs. Havertz: "It is about what is right and what should be done."

Mr. Havertz: "Even if that means it will hurt him? I really can't understand your point anymore. We all warned you about what this would mean for Kai and yet you still went on with it. Chelsea will probably lose millions, the fans will hate you and consequently your son forever, Kai and his friends will suffer, and so on.. you can't see any of this?"

Mrs. Havertz: "I still believe that they had to pay for what they did... but nothing is more important than my son..."

Mr. Havertz: "Exactly, then do what is best for him; see what he needs from you right now and do it."

Mr. Havertz reentered the room, leaving his wife outside rethinking her actions.

Kai didn't wake up until it was almost sunset, as if he was aware enough of the timings. He opened his eyes and started screening the room. They were all sitting on the couch at the corner, except for his mother, who was still outside, and Sophia, who was half asleep beside him.

Kai was in so much pain, his movements woke her up instantly, checking on him and looking at the monitors.

Sophia: "Kai, what's wrong?"
