He swallowed.
“At a private medical facility.”
Then he added something that made my stomach drop.
**She has been unconscious for nearly two weeks.**
The news about Emma changed everything.
Samuel immediately arranged for an independent physician to examine her.
Victoria insisted on accompanying him.
Before leaving, she approached my bed.
“She’s alive,” she whispered. “We’re going to find out what happened.”
I focused on the communication screen.
BRING HER BACK.
Victoria nodded.
“I promise.”
The door closed behind them.
Mara adjusted my oxygen.
“You’re going to get through this.”
I looked at her.
She smiled.
“I know you’re frightened, but you’re not alone.”

I wanted to believe her.

Emma was found in a private rehabilitation facility under a different surname.
Her medical records listed her as a patient suffering from complications following an unexplained neurological episode.
She had been admitted after collapsing in a rented apartment.
The facility’s management claimed that she had no family.
