[Johan's POV]
Aaron regained consciousness with increased heart rate, inducing panic in and out of the ICU. Adrian and his mother quickly jumped to conclusions when doctors and nursed rushed to the patient's side. Their reaction was understandable, though. If it wasn't for Rafael and other police officers with them, Johan would be a train wreck trying to calm them by himself.
It turned out a nightmare woke Aaron. Receiving a barrage of bullets must have been a traumatic experience for the young officer. He may have been trained, but he's still human, capable of feeling fear in the face of death.
Johan didn't know what kind of police officer Aaron was. But in that split moment their eyes met through the glass panel, Johan knew he's a good man who's passionate in his profession. He's still fighting for his life. His battle's not over yet. And he's got a family still waiting for him.
