Chapter 9: Lies But No Regrets
The last thing he saw before everything turned black was her blond hair. When Totis' eyes opened again he could clearly assume he was at the bedroom he was sleeping last night. Mark was standing a little meters away. Amy was crying in his arms. They were terrified. The man realized that Totis was awake and quickly let Amy go. They both walk next to him.
"Totis, are you feeling alright? Do you remember what happened?" Mark asked. Totis glared at them like he wasn't understanding what was going on. Or was he thinking about something else?
"I..." Totis murmured, thick tears fall from his eyes "I can't feel my legs!".
The hospital's white walls hadn't changed a bit since the last time Mark came here. Totis was holding on Mark's and Amy's shoulders as they walked across the full of people hallway. They reached the office and asked for a doctor. The woman there said she couldn't do anything and they better had to wait at the line. The handsome man took a thin card from his pocket and showed it to the woman. She looked it for a second and her expression changed immediately. "Sorry" she said "Please this way, follow me". She leaded the three of them to another floor and she stopped in frond of a room. "The doctor is waiting inside" she said and left.
Mark suggested that Amy should stay outside to rest from all the weight she lifted on her shoulder and he took Totis and went inside. There a doctor was having his break, reading a newspaper. When he saw them entering the room, he stood up confused. Mark showed him his card and told him the reason the were visiting. The doctor nodded and he put Totis lay on a bed ready for the x-rays. Mark exited the room and let the doctor work. After several minutes, the doctor came out of the room. The couple stood up and they walked closer to the doctor.
"What do you think, doctor?" Amy asked.
"How did this happened? Tell me" he said.
"He took part in a raw, I think the other kids said something bad to him and..." Amy answered.
"Well, sadly, Totis is on a very dangerous condition. We have to perform a surgery right away. He probably won't walk ever again".
