    ‘ire''s condition suddenly worsened...” came Cole’s heavy voice over the phone. “She’s been rushed to the ICU.”


    Cam froze. The shock exploded in her ears and spread to every cell in her body.


    Tears uncontrobly streamed down her face, and her hands trembled so much that she could hardly hold her phone. “She was fine during the day...


    How could this happen...”


    She hung up the phone, hurriedly dressed, and dashed out the door. When she arrived at the hospital, it was already deep into the night. She rushed


    towards the ICU.


    The hallway outside the ward was brightly lit, but her heart was engulfed in darkness.

    strain.


    Craig leaned silently against the wall, not saying a word.

    Herplexion was as pale as paper, and her eyes were tightly shut. as if she had lost all vitality.


    Cam’s heart clenched instantly, and tears slid uncontrobly down her cheeks. She quickly approached the doctor, anxiously asking. “Doctor, what


    exactly is going on with my mom?”


    The doctor looked at Cam, then at Cole, and sighed, “She has severe pneumonia. Her condition deteriorated very quickly, leading to respiratory


    difficulties and unconsciousness...” His voice trailed off, growing deeper.

    She tightly grasped the doctor''s hand, and her voice was trembling. “Please, you must save my mom. No matter the cost, whatever it takes, I''m


    willing!


    The doctor looked at her with a mix of sympathy and helplessness in his eyes. “Right now, she''s having a very hard time breathing and can only rely


    on a venttor. We''ll do our best

    ‘I have money! Please, use the best medications for my mom, no matter the cost!” Cam asserted firmly.


    The doctor nodded, “We''ll do our best.
