I stood frozen, watching as they worked frantically to save her life. My mind was racing, my heart was pounding in my chest.

Would I ever see Ivery again?

The doctor looked at me sternly, “You need to leave, Sir,” he said firmly. “I understand that you're upset, but you're not helping anything by being here. We can't do our job with you here.”

I felt a surge of anger and frustration, but I knew he was right. I was only getting in the way.
