As he sat up, a wave of nausea washed over him, and he fell back onto the bed, clutching his stomach.

"Sophia," he called out, his voice weak.

Sophia rushed into the room, a look of concern etched on her face. "Marcus, what's wrong?" she asked.

Marcus tried to speak, but his voice was hoarse. He pointed to his stomach, and Sophia's eyes widened in understanding.
