AUSTIN’S POV
I couldn’t sit. Couldn’t breathe. I had been pacing back and forth since we arrived and still, the door to the operating room remained shut.
Every second Zoe was in there, unconscious, felt like a silent scream in my chest.
The door finally creaked open. A doctor stepped out, her face lined with exhaustion and gravity.
“Mr. Perkins?” she asked softly.
I walked toward her pushing back my fear. “How is she?”
The doctor exhaled. “We’re doing all we can. But her life is in danger. The ectopic pregnancy has ruptured. There’s internal bleeding.”
I felt nervous looking at her. My body went cold.
“You have to make a decision right now,” she said. “We need to remove the pregnancy immediately. If we don’t, we may not be able to save her.”
I didn’t even think. “Do it” I said.
