Aila's eyes started welling up with tears. She is suddenly realizing those instances Marcus is talking about. The day she heard her talking with someone on the phone, that was Dana. She knew he was hiding something from him, but she did not expect it to be this big, to be this life changing.
"I had a brain aneurysm. A certain portion of the blood vessel in my brain stretched out and weakened like a balloon. Initially, I was scheduled for a treatment called endovascular coiling. That was on our first day in the Island. But I told my sister I could just not leave yet without proposing to you."
The words Marcus is telling her now are hitting her like sharp knives. She did not know Marcus was suffering, she could have done something for him. She should have been there for him when it was all happening.
