Lucas looked up at Dr. Li. "Can I talk now?"
Chapter 29
The next few hours were full of questions and answers from all of the involved parties. Lucas wanted to know what had happened, all the details. Karen and Dr. Li wanted to know if Lucas felt alright. Eventually, they were all satisfied.
It was not surprising that, when he heard about Nathan's decision to be the donor, Lucas immediately wanted to see his half brother. Unfortunately, that was not an option at the time. He was worn out from the day's activities, and he was not well enough to be moved yet. Dr. Li promised that he would try to have the brothers placed in the same room, once they moved out of the ICU.
Later, Brooke and Peyton were allowed in Lucas's room, having already seen Nathan. They were civil toward each other, to Lucas's surprise. It seemed that the entire experience had brought them closer together again. As for Lucas, he could not choose between them, at least not for now. It was time for them to become friends again, or at least to try. After they were convinced that both boys would be alright, Brooke and Peyton headed back home to Tree Hill. Their "vacation" was over. Haley stayed behind, constantly at the bedside of one of the boys.
Three days later, Dr. Li made good on his promise, and both of the brothers Scott were relocated to Room 629.
