"No... Ave's kind and caring... He's not what you say... He's not!" Mrs. Chambers bellowed, her eyes blazing red with fury, her voice piercing through the silence like a siren.
Her face twisted in a grotesque mask of despair, anger, and sorrow - so severe that even Evadne Ashbourne, who had weathered many storms, felt a chill down her spine!
Suddenly, the woman in the wheelchair convulsed as if electrocuted, gasping for air with a dry, gaping mouth.
"Mrs. Chambers!"
Evadne, shocked and pale, rushed to grab Mrs. Chambers' trembling body. "Mrs. Chambers... What's wrong? Are you in pain?!"
"Uh... Uh...!"
Mrs. Chambers' eyes rolled back as she frothed at the mouth, her fingers splayed out in panic.
Evadne's heart skipped a beat. This seemed like a seizure, or possibly a stroke.
Guilt flooded her - her harsh words had triggered Mrs. Chambers, leading to this collapse.
If anything happened to Mrs. Chambers because of her, Evadne would be tormented by guilt and remorse!
She immediately called for the nursing staff.
But the clinic's doctors weren't equipped for this emergency - they needed an ambulance, and fast!
"Oh my... What do we do?!"
Seeing Mrs. Chambers in agony, the nurse was on the verge of tears. "But even if we call an ambulance, the hospital's so far away. How will we make it in time?"
"Call for an air ambulance!"
Evadne, beads of sweat on her forehead, made a snap decision. "It'll cut down the travel time significantly!"
