Kyle and Stephan entered CICU, while Joseph updated the others on Lianne's condition. Lianne was still unconscious, and both of them were in a daze at what the surgeon had told them.
She had so many wires attached and the monitor beside the bed was beeping, while it showed her heart rate and heart beat.
"She's strong," Stephan said softly, his voice breaking.
"She is," Kyle agreed, "But what about you? Are you okay?"
"No," Stephan admitted, "I feel like everything is crumbling around me, honestly. Nothing is within my control."
Kyle didn't look at him as they continued looking at their daughter, "You've always been such a sensitive soul, Stephan. Lianne gets that from you. It's okay to feel weak. It doesn't mean you are weak."
Stephan snorted a bit.
"Coming from you, that's rich," Stephan said, laughing a bit, "For someone that is at the top, in all aspects, saying such a thing is hardly inspiring."
