Once back in my car, | could no longer contain my grief. | bowed my head onto the steering wheel and sobbed.
Finally, | regained control and whispered, “Everything will be alright, Chloe. You really can’t add chaos to his situation.” However, he was still unconscious. | couldn't imagine him not waking up, knowing he must have suffered so many injuries.
