“We need to carry out an emergency surgery on him. I'm sorry you guys will have to wait by the reception.” one of the male nurses said.

Sylvia wanted to break past the human barricades and run after Fred’s wheelchair but David grabbed her just before she could put her thoughts into action.

“Look at me!” David cried out with her face in his palms.

She looked up at him and her face glittered with hope because David was bearing hope in his eyes.
