NovelOnlineLucas was not really that concerned, but he did feel that the shift in Thalia's mood was too sudden. Nonetheless, he was fine as long as she was willing to listen to him.
When Thalia returned, she sat beside Lucas.
Lucas subconsciously frowned. He was not used to sitting so close to strangers, but with Claudia's head leaning on his shoulder as she slept, he could not move away. He had no choice but to endure the discomfort.
Thalia noticed all his subtle movements and could not help but smile faintly; she knew Lucas' earlier words were hints. He even straightened his shoulders when she sat next to him.
'Is it really necessary to posture himself in front of me?' thought Thalia.

As tpassed by, the red light indicating the emergency room remained lit, making even Lucas uneasy.
Although he was much more mature than his peers, he was still a teenager. It was because of him that Henry ended up in the emergency room.
'I'd probably be the one lying inside the emergency room if I hadn't asked Claudia to calong withat that time,' thought Lucas with a frown.
He prayed for Henry's safety. However, as tpassed, he knew it was almost impossible.
'Please keep...' Thalia nervously bit her thumb. 'Dad, you must cout safely. We still need you to take care of us!' Thalia kept repeating this sentence in her heart. She wished vehemently that she could exchange Claudia's life for their father's.
Unfortunately, things did not go as she wished.
When the doctor walked out dejectedly, even Lucas sensed that something was wrong.
"Doctor..." Claudia was on the verge of collapse, and it was even Lucas who supported her to go talk to the doctor.
Not to mention Thalia on his left, grabbing his arm. He did not understand what had cover her.
He had only asked her a simple question a moment ago, and she was clinging to him as if they were old friends. She was even pressing herself closer to him.
"Doctor, is my... Is my dad okay? You've been trying to save him for so long, so he should be fine now, right?" The doctor did not know how to break the news to them, especially when they were so young. When faced with three pairs of imploring eyes, he could only shake his head helplessly.

We even removed the blood clot in his brain, but unfortunately, he's in critical condition. He might never wake up іна again. He's what we call in a vegetative state." After the doctor finished speaking, nurses promptly wheeled Henry out.
Claudia and Thalia were still in a daze.
Thalia rushed up to the doctor and grabbed his collar. "Doctor, what did you just say? You must be Joking e right? My dad was perfectly fine when he was brought in. How could you say he won't wake up after all this effort? Did you do your seriously or are you just of €
competent enough? Getanother doctor. It must be m responsible for my who's dad's condition.
How could he not make it? You're lying!"
The doctor empathized with how Thalia was feeling, but he had other surgeries to attend to. The only reason he was there to save Henry was because Beatrice had asked him to.
