The waiting room was quiet except for Clara’s soft sobs, Ava biting her lip, Mrs Knight sitting stiffly in her chair, her hands folded tightly in her lap, and Eric standing silently by the wall, his eyes fixed on the emergency doorsMinutes felt like hours, each sound from the hallway made them jump, every step of a nurse, every beep of a machine was too loud, too sharpFinally, a doctor came out He was tall, his face serious He looked at them one by one“Family of Ryan Knight,” he said slowly, “Yes doctor that’s us,” Clara said “Can we see him,” Ava whispered The doctor shook his head “Not yet,” he said, “he is stable for now, but his condition is serious” Mrs Knight’s hands shook violently “Serious,” she whispered, “he is my son, he cannot be hurt” The doctor nodded “I understand,” he said, “he lost a lot of blood, he needed surgery, and we did our best but he still needs monitoring” Clara’s chest tightened “Is he going to be
