Zeke eventually went inside the operating room and performed the surgery.
Alex stayed and waited by the viewing room just outside the operating room and watched the surgery through the glass window. Zeke let him inside there because he was very conspicuous with a bloody dagger sticking out of his chest. Alex sat down and watched and waited despite the fact that the surgery would take hours. He sat there, unmoving, like a statue.
Many hours later, the green light was finally turned off. Alex looked disheveled and weak as he stood up from his seat just as the door opened.
He rushed towards Zeke and felt slightly less nervous when the man looked calmer than the moment he entered.
"How is she?" Alex asked.
Zeke didn't answer and just looked at the door as they wheeled Abi out.
Alex looked at her as she was wheeled past them. She was breathing - that was a good sign!
