The old woman's face was turning many different colors in anger. She had never expected this damn girl in front of her to be so resolute! She was just a servant to the Evergreen house. She had always used the fact that the unwanted Princess had no one to rely on to push her around. But now… The old woman's face finally turned black. "Then so be it! From this day forward, do not expect the Evergreen royal family to ever support you again, Princes… No, wait, ex Princess."

The old woman picked up the keys and card, turned on her heel in a huff, and walked away. She wanted nothing more to do with the unwanted trash. Tina had a worried look on her face. She really did not know what to say or do in this kind of situation. But still, she knew she had to try at least give a few words of comfort. Before she could say anything, she heard a small sob, and Trisha say: "Looks like I am homeless now."

"No, you are not. Yuki's home is your home. Yuki would not run out to save you if she did not love you. So don't worry about that." Tina said, giving Trisha a hug.

"Mmm, thank you, Tina. No matter what the outcome is, I will be with Yuki..." even if it means I must die to see her… Trisha did not say the last part out loud. Even she knew her words were nuts. But if Yuki died, she would follow after her. A life without Yuki was not something she could live in.

Trisha and Tina did not talk much after that. They waited outside the operating room for many hours. It was only five hours later when the door finally opened, and the doctor came out. Trisha immediately stood up and walked over to the doctor. The doctor saw the expectant eyes of the girl and sighed inwardly. He hated this part the most. "I have both good news and bad… The good news is she is stable and is alive."

Trisha's lip began quivering as her tears rained down her cheeks. She slumped to the floor with her legs bent to each side of her. "Thank god!"

"Yes, she is alive. It is actually a miracle. But… She is in a deep coma due to the head trauma. Her brain was severely damaged in the process. Even if she wakes up, she will be unable to do many things. Treatment can be done to rebuild the brain cells, but it will take a long time. The bullet the shooter used was nasty. It was a special kind of bullet that has a mini detonator inside of it that causes a mini explosion. This explosion causes the metal parts of the bullet to explode outwards and shred everything in a small radius. It is quite ruthless. Treatment may take 2-3 years at minimum as long as there are no complications. And this is only because of how deep the bullet entered the brain before exploding. She will need to stay here for the week under observation. After that, after you have paid for the proper medical equipment, she can be discharged." The doctor explained.

Trisha's mind was blank as she sat on the floor. Treats dripping from her eyes. To hear how badly Yuki was hurt tore Trisha's heart apart. It was Tina who spoke next since she had to know everything needed for the future. "For medical equipment, we are talking a medic bot as well, right besides life support systems?"

"She will be fine with a nutrient machine and a medic bot to keep an eye on her. But she will need someone to take care of her daily needs. I would suggest stocking up on soil cloth as well. It is cheaper than a medical toilet which needs professionals to install. They work the same as a baby diaper but are specially made for coma victims." The doctor replied.

"Alright, I will keep this all in mind." Tina nodded her head. She knew things were going to be tight for a while.

"I will take care of her… All of her needs, day and night, I will look after her." Trisha suddenly spoke up, but it did not seem like she was talking to anyone specific. She slowly got up off the floor and turned to look at Tina. "Tina. I will take care of Yuki."

"Mmm... I know. I will leave her to you. But we now need to figure out how to pay for everything." Tina said with a frown.

"I need to go write my reports. A nurse will let you know when she is ready to be seen." The doctor replied before going to do what he needed to be done.

Tina and Trisha were too busy trying to figure things out to care about the doctor anymore. They had all they needed to know. Yuki was alive, she could recover, but it will take time. This was all that mattered to the two of them at this time.

"Money isn't an issue. Yuki has already set me up on her phone so that I can use it to pay for things if I need to." Trisha was glad Yuki was so pushy with this early this morning when Yuki asked her to stay with her.

"Then we will not have anything to worry about for a while." With money no longer an issue, Tina let out a sigh of relief. Although she was paid pretty well, her salary was not enough to cover such heavy expenses.

Yuki was brought to a private room that Trisha paid for. It was slightly expensive, but it was better than being sent to a room filled with other coma patients. When Trisha first walked into the room, her whole body shook, seeing the bandages wrapped around Yuki's now shaved head. She walked over to the bedside and, with a trembling hand, reached out and grabbed Yuki's hand. She did not say anything. She just stood there interlocking her fingers with Yuki's. Her bottom lip trembled as she looked at Yuki's peaceful sleeping face. "Y-Yuki..."
