Aunt holds Denzel's hands in hers, as the nurses pushed him towards the operating room on a stretcher.

Klaus and I follow them too, soon, we arrived and they stopped outside the room.

My hand holding Klaus', tightens and my heart beat increased, the words written on top the door haunting my eyes.

I stagger back slightly.

"Anastasia, breathe, Denzel needs you to be strong now!" Klaus whisper in my ear.

My eyes move to aunt, she's holding Denzel's hand in a death grip.. her eyes red.

Klaus is right, I shouldn't show any weakness now... Aunt and Denzel needs me to be strong.

I walk closer to them and smiled at Denzel.

"Den, aunt and I are waiting for you here, ok?"

He nods.

"You're gonna go in there with doctor Hemsworth and come out with him safe and sound.. can you do that for me?"

He nods again. "Yes!"

He turns towards my aunt and frowns, he turns back to me.
