"Here it is, doctor," Williams said in a mix of determination and trepidation, hardly above a whisper.
Dr. Ken took the form and, with a somber face, began to scan the pages with deliberate slowness.
"Ok then, we may proceed with the surgery," he finally said in a measured and calm tone.
His words hung in the air heavy with consequence, as Emma's eyes locked onto Williams', fear and uncertainty looking back from his in mirrored images.
Williams managed a reassuring smile; his lips curving in a soft upward arc were accompanied by a light squeeze of her hand- thus comforting and consoling her.
Dr. K
