Only after 48 hours could he be considered to have truly survived.
Then, during these 48 hours...
In the intensive care unit where John was, Kathleen had changed into a set of thick and heavy sterile clothes. She had been staying in there with John the entire time.
She looked at him in a daze.
Her eyes could not help but tear up.
Regardless of whether John would hear her or not, she kept saying these words by his ear, calling out to him, "John, you must not be in any trouble. You must not leave me behind."
"I can't live without you!"
"You owe me! You said that you would make it up to me properly for the rest of your life..."
"John, you said that you wanted to have a child. You said that you must accompany me to give birth to the child! So you must wake up quickly..."
Within 48 hours.
Kathleen was worried for John. She was not in the mood to sleep, nor could she eat.
