Olivia couldn't stop pacing in front of the huge white transparent door with the inscription "Emergency room" written in red on it.
Two hours.
It had been exactly four hours since the doctors were in there and yet no one had left for a second to deliver any news or update on how the surgery was going.
She was worried. No matter how much Benita and Tony asked her not to, she couldn't help herself. She kept pulling her fingers one after the other, muttering some words to herself, words that seemed like prayers.
She just wanted some news, any news at all. The silence and her anxiety were killing her.
Rafael exhaled. He tried not to look too much. He checked his watch like he had somewhere else to be.
"A Doctor,"
Olivia turned quickly to the door as she saw a man in a white coat walk to it. They all got up from their seats as it opened and the man walked out.
"Doctor." Olivia rushed to stand in front of him, stopping him from taking another step. The old man paused and stared at her from the brim of his glasses.
"The little girl," she started looking in his eyes "There was a little girl that was brought in here some minutes ago. Grace, Grace Silver-"
"I'm sorry, we can't give out any information on our patient's welfare except it's to family-" The man tried to leave again.
"That's me." Olivia stood in his way again "I am family, I'm her mother." Olivia placed her hand on her chest. "Olivia, Olivia Silver." She said beating her chest gently. The man paused and looked at her for a short while like he was trying to make sure.
"Let her through Doctor Uche," Rafael said looking at the doctor from where he stood. The man slowly turned to him.
What was going on? Olivia wondered. Did they know each other?
"She's saying the truth. She's the patient's mother and she's also my client." The man exhaled weakly and turned back to Olivia.
"You can see her but not right now. She's still in a critical state."
"Cri—" Olivia took a deep breath. That didn't sound good "Critical state?"
"Coma."
She placed her hand over her mouth quickly, trying to stop herself from screaming.
"We were able to stop the internal bleeding but she hurt her head too much and this led to a coma. The other doctors are rounding up with the surgery. You can only see her after they do." The man exhaled "I'm really sorry."
Olivia drew a deep breath as the man walked away from her. Benita rushed to her. Rafael tried to keep his eyes on her, he could tell how hurt that news must have made her. He exhaled as the doctor drew closer to him
