Mobius’s voice echoed from the doorway before he showed up. “What happened to Mom?”

Pearl stood up as the entire family arrived. “I think stopping her medication for a long time triggered her heart disease, which
caused her to faint. I administered some medication, so she should be fine now.”
Hugo saw the needle on the floor and asked, “What’s this?”

Sean was scrutinizing her. “You know how to give an injection?”

They quickly transported Susan to the hospital. At the hospital, everyone assisted with the paperwork before, leaving Richard to
care for Susan and returning to their respective commitments.
Abby chose to stay behind, but her enthusiasm was clearly lacking. She had expected Pearl to fail, but Pearl had performed
admirably and had even been mentored by a famous doctor.

Pearl sat and ignored her.

“Pearl... Abby called her again.
