It was at that moment that Connor came into the room and realized the situation. Will had woken up and not understanding what had happened he was terrified.
Rhodes immediately put his hands on his face stopping his frenzy and forcing him to look him in the face.
Dr. Halstead's eyes showed all the agitation and fear he had.
- Will listen to me, you underwent a very delicate operation, I had to intubate you to allow you to breathe better and recover. Now, if you agree, I'll take the tube off, but you still need to be patient. I'm going to get the extubation kit.
- Here, doctor,- April replied immediately, handing him the necessary tools.
So Rhodes began the tube removal procedure by reminding Will to cough the moment he pulled out.
As soon as he was without a tube, Will began to breathe on his own, gradually calming down more and more.
The cannula was placed under his nose and ordered to rest.
Before closing his eyes from fatigue and the effect of the drugs that were in his body, the doctor had the strength to ask for information.
- Nat? ... How .. how is she? -
- Don't worry Will, she's fine. She suffered a mild head injury, but nothing to worry about. She is in his room and is resting .- Connor replied
Dr. Halstead was delighted to hear that.
- Jay ... w ... where is ... Jay - Will wanted his little brother near.
He wanted to ask him to find, with Voight and the team, Burke and arrest him so as not to allow him to harm them anymore.
He was afraid that something might happen to him again.
Having failed in his intent to kill Will, the doctor was afraid that he would try again.
He didn't fear for his life, but he was terrified that someone he cared about might take risks again, like Natalie had.
Burke had to be out of circulation. He no longer wanted to live in fear, in shame, in lies.
-Jay ... where are you jay ...??-
- Your brother will be here as soon as you wake up. Don't worry - Connor replied knowing that what he had just said could also be a lie.
He couldn't tell him what really happened.
Knowing that his little brother was sick and he was also in a hospital bed, Will would get further upset and try to get up to go to him. He would put himself at risk to be able to be close to Jay
Fortunately, as Connor spoke Will's eyes closed and the doctor collapsed in a few moments returning to the world of unconsciousness and much needed rest. His body had been through a lot that day and now he needed time to recover.
