Massimo was fine. It was touch and go for a while there, but he was fine. Siamese stayed by his side the entire surgery and recovery. It wasn't said, but everyone saw it.
Mateo was a different story. He was in a deep medicated coma to heal brain trauma and take swelling off his brain. Aurora had been a mess for days as they had to push him through surgery. One to remove the bullet still in his head. And then an emergency one after his brain began to bleed.
Sitting beside him feeling a numbness settled in her heart, aurora knew this was all her fault.
Mama (Mateo's mama) tried to convince her it wasn't. "My son loves you, he loves you and he wouldn't have let you go through life with this hate on your heart. You had to be free of Richard before you could live, he understood that." Anasta
