Adam: 44.

Jessica: 39.

Set when Jessica is lying in her coma, so kind of following the events that happened in "Leave Me Alone "

If you don't like her, please don't read.


The Secret Life Of Casualty.

Chapter 201.

The machines beeping were the only thing that was keeping the unconscious nurse alive, that and the ventilator that was in her mouth.

Adam Trueman hadn't moved from the room in which his comatose wife is lying in, wires and needles surrounding her.

Adam needs her.

Jessica needs him.

They need each other.

Adam takes her hand. "Jess, if you can hear me, squeeze my hand?"

She gives no response that she can and Adam's heart breaks.

"Adam..." Someone is calling his name and it is Zoe.

"Maybe you should go home, go and see the kids. " She suggests.

Adam shakes his head, he needs to be here, in case she wakes. But deep down, he knows, the longer she remains unconscious, the lesser chance she has of waking up.

Zoe's hand moves to cover his.

"She'll be fine "

Adam says nothing, but offers Zoe a nod as she leaves the room. She fills the team on how their unconscious colleague is doing.

"She's still unconscious. "

The team sigh, she is a valued member of the ED and they don't want to lose her.

They all pray, she will wake.


I found this a little different to write, I think that's why it is so short.

Next chapter: Adam's POV, which kind of follows on from this chapter.
