After Emily insisted on staying in the hospital with Alex overnight, Ed quietly excused himself from the room. The emotional weight in the air was suffocating, and he knew he needed to step away and focus. As he left, his mind raced with all that needed to be done.
He rushed back to his hotel, his heart pounding as he hurriedly grabbed his laptop. There was no time to waste. He immediately called Raf.
The line barely rang before Raf answered, his voice tight with concern. "How is he now?"
Ed took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice steady despite the anxiety gnawing at him. "His condition isn't improving. He's stable, but… it's bad, Raf. I need you to get me the contact info for a few more top neurologists. I'm calling Dr. Carter to get here right away."
"On it," Raf replied immediately, his tone matching the urgency of the situation.
Ed hesitated for a moment before adding, "And also… any update on that Dr. Zykov?"
