"I'll prescribe smedication and put her on a couple of TV drips. She should wake up by tomorrow. Keep her warm during this time, and she should recover without any major issues."

"Go hand change your clothes. Let your friend stay and watch over her for awhile since your sister won't wake up for a few hours anyway, John, hearing this, quickly agreed, "That's right, Mr. Zachman.

John could see that Wren wasn't going to change his mind, so he didn't argue further. After all, he was being well compensated for his work. With the generous payment from Liam, John would have jumped into the water himself if Wren had asked him to.
In comparison, investigating this incident was a much easier task "Yes, Mr. Zachman. I'll handle it right away."
John took the keys from Wren but chose not to ask whether he should bring clothes for Clara He figured she wouldn't want a stranger handling her personal belongings. "Doctor, where is the patient's room? When asked without delay.
