Silas' voice once again drew her focus back to him, especially as the blood loss was starting to make her feel light-headed. He told her not to give up, to which she swallowed hard and nodded her head. She hoped he was right, that Peter would arrive soon. She wanted to see him one last time. She glanced down when told to keep talking. The sight of the blood causing her to quickly look away before it made her feel even more sick. "I saw my own father die. I loved him so much, he was... There was so much blood and I can never forget how..." she began, falling silent and closing her eyes again. Forcing herself to stay awake as Silas had told her, she tried to continue, but had already forgotten what she was saying. In her confusion, she started speaking again as if she was continuing what she'd already start to talk about. "I would love to take the children to the Lake District. I had such a good time there." She shivered as spoke, unsure if she was cold or if it was the memory of her trip. "It was so cold in that water, though..." she recalled, remembering how Syd had playfully jumped into the lake before she followed him in.
Even after she'd stopped thinking about the cold memories, she still felt a chill as her heart raced in her chest. Hearing another familiar voice, she looked up to see Peter approaching. "You came..." she softly spoke, smiling as her husband knelt down beside her. "I love you, Petey," she firmly told him. If she only had a few words left to say, it would be to tell him how much she cared for him, so she didn't answer the questions about who had attacked her. She held his hand, gripping onto it to take comfort from his warmth. The words shared between Peter and Silas about the description of the attackers simply went over her head. She just wanted to focus on her husband's presence. Peter soon turned his attention back to reassuring Sinead. She faintly smiled as he told her she'd survived worse and she was going to be okay. "You're going to be okay," she told him. She wasn't simply copying his words, but was trying to tell him he would be okay without her.
As the paramedics rushed to Sinead's side, Liam stood in stunned silence as he watched them tend to his mother. He watched as they got her to lie down so they could tend to her wound. Cutting through the fabric of her dress, they kept the pressure applied on the wound before covering it with a temporary dressing. He watched as Sinead closed her eyes, only for one of the paramedics to encourage her to stay awake. Silas placed his hand on Liam's shoulder, snapping the boy out of his concentration just in time for him to step aside as the other paramedic rushed past with a stretcher. "She won't die," he told Silas, though his uncertain tone made it clear he was seeking reassurance on the matter.
Once Sinead was on the stretcher, she was carried off to the ambulance. Liam looked to his dad, making sure they were both going with her in the ambulance. He didn't want to be kept away from her, not if it was going to be the last time he saw her. After saying goodbye to Silas, Liam walked with Peter into the back of the ambulance. Patience anxiously folded her arms as she watched the ambulance pull away. She couldn't hide the concern she was feeling. When she approached Silas, she motioned to the cut on his face. "You're bleeding, Father. Will I help patch it up?" she worriedly asked.
On the way to the hospital, Sinead had lost consciousness and had to be given CPR along with fluids to replace those she'd lost. Although she was conscious when they arrived at the hospital, she was immediately rushed away for emergency surgery to her liver and abdomen, leaving Peter to call their family then anxiously wait for news. "Father Healy stopped those guys from kidnapping me," Liam told Peter, trying to break the silence. "He helped Mum too."
Eventually, Peter and Liam were informed that the surgery and blood transfusion were a success, so Sinead was in a stable condition. A short time after, they were allowed to go see Sinead in her hospital bed. Upon entering the room, the monitor maintained a steady beep as the redhead laid connected to various wires and IVs. Despite the fluids she was receiving, her skin was still pale and her face tired. She turned her head to see her husband and son, letting out a gasp as tears quickly escaped her eyes. "I was so scared I'd never see you two again," she softly told them.
