Being in a coma and being in a vegetative state were two very different things, and Hera knew that well. Right now, Leo was in a deep coma—no matter what she did, he wouldn't respond. All she could do was wait for him to wake up and stay by his side as much as possible.
Hearing Zhane, usually so stoic and stern, trying so hard to comfort her—saying so many things just to lift her spirits and give her hope—touched her deeply.
At this moment, all Hera could do was pray that Leo wouldn't face any more dangerous setbacks in the next few days. If his condition stabilized and he could be moved out of the ICU, maybe then, she would finally be able to breathe a little easier.
Just then, Hera's phone began to vibrate. Liz was calling. Hera answered on the second ring, and Zhane gently let her go so she could reach for the bedside table where her waist belt was placed, her phone tucked inside.
