There was a loud speaker blaring a mix of hip-hop and rap music from the corner. Damn, it was so loud.She could also see lots of people dancing and moving their bodies to the rhythm. It was cute she thought but she was in no mood to dance at that point.

First, he had a fever and after some weeks, he's having diarrhea and digestive issues. I took him to the pediatricians who prescribed some medicines for him. At first, he recovered but his illness kept coming over and over again. And this time around, it wasn't cough, or diarrhea or digestive issues, he had skin rashes and shortness of breath.He was given some medicines but after a while, his illness kept coming back.

Emily's POV The doctor's words resounded in my ears and I just couldn't believe it. I froze for a moment. it felt as if time had come to a standstill. “Can you tell me more about this SCID?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. The doctor's voice was gentle as he added, “It's a rare genetic disorder that affects the immune system.” I listened intently, my brows knitting. He cleared his throat and continued, “It is caused by mutations in genes which play crucial roles in development and functions of the immune system.” My eyes narrowed as I struggled to process his words “So, are you trying to say that we passed it down to him?” His lips conformed into a thin line. He nodded and also added, “While it can be inherited from parents who are carriers of mutated genes, it can also be caused by spontaneous mutations during fetal development. The latter I believe is what caused It.” A deep sigh escaped my lips. I paused for a moment, trying to pull myself together. "What
