hastened toward the threshold, her plea dripping with apprehension.
“Doctor, I implore you to save my son.”
The surgeon slowly removed his mask, his solemn expression revealing the harsh reality.

demeanor.
“If your presencecks willingness, its absence holds greater virtue. Spare us the vexation of your
