“I understand,” she tells him. “I think Mason may need some attention tonight. So you spend your time with Nicholas. I’ll take care of him, and then maybe we can all spend some time together later.”
Aliya hands him Kaden’s paperwork. Nicholas begins to look at it, and he sees about Kaden’s injury. He swallows the lump in his throat. Another nurse asks Aliya to take a look at something. She nods. He tells her, “I’m going into my office for a few minutes. I’ll take these to Kaden right after.” She nods again to him. He heads towards his office and closes the door behind. Nicholas goes into his private room to the side and closes the door. After he sits down on the bed, he lays the papers down on the bed and holds his head as he starts to cry. Leaning down, he wraps his around his body as he sobs. “I could have….lost you.”
Aliya returns back to the desk but doesn't see Nicholas. Thinking he's back in with Kaden, she opens the door quietly. "Oh," she says closing the door behind herself. "I thought Nicholas would be in here. He's got your paperwork for you. I gave it to him. I guess he's checking on something else. Everything alright in here," she asks smiling at them both.
