Chapter 117

“Can I see her?” Jesse asked.

“She’s in the ICU in a sterile room. No one goes in there without being decontaminated and wearing a special outfit. Do you think you can handle it?”

“Yes, I’ll do whatever I need to.”

“Alright. Follow me.”

Jesse followed Dr. Aarons. He showed him to Renee’s room. He had to go through the decontamination chamber and then put on gloves, a mask, a gown, and a surgical cap. He slowly walked into the room with Renee. His eyes traveled up the bed and the further he got, the more his eyes filled with tears. Her leg was wrapped in a cast. Although she had a gown on, he could tell there were bandages under it going around her stomach. There were tubes coming out of everywhere it seemed. He watched as the tube in her mouth made her chest rise and fall.
