Ryan remained frozen on the floor. The doctor’s words refused to leave his mind.
“You must kill him.”
His eyes stayed locked on Jax’s unconscious body on the table. The slow rise and fall of his brother’s chest was the only sign he was still barely alive. Ryan lowered his head. His hands trembled.
He had finally found his little brother after believing he was dead for years. Now someone was asking him to take that life away with his own hands.
He couldn’t do it. He just simply couldn’t. Mike stood quietly beside him. He didn’t interrupt. He knew this wasn’t a decision anyone else could make.
The room stayed silent.
Ryan took a deep breath. Then another. He slowly stood to his feet.
The doctor watched him carefully. “Have you made your choice?” the man asked.
Ryan nodded. “I have.”
