#Chapter 129 The Never-ending Wait

Joseph’s POV

Tessa was cleaned by the time I returned to her room. I just got off the phone with Connor and he was on his way back with Ruby.

Dr. Cornelia had finished washing the blood off Tessa’s body and bandaging her wounds. She was stable with many tubes attached to her frail body. She looked so peaceful like she was just sleeping.

It’s been a few hours since Connor had left and now, I sat here waiting for the moment he returned so her life could be saved.

The heart monitor began to beep like crazy; I jumped to my feet in alarm.

Dr. Cornelia ran toward us with a panicked look on his face.

“She’s crashing!” He told one of the nurses.

I stumbled backward as they worked on her. They ordered me to leave the room, but I could hardly hear them. My main focus was on Tessa and how well she was.

“Let’s go,” I heard the soft tone of Bernard as he grabbed my arm and pulled me toward the doorway.

I wanted to stay with her and help; I wanted to be with her. But I knew I wouldn’t do any good.
