“What are you all waiting for?!” she screamed. “Get her to the hospital now! If anything happens to my grandchildren, I swear, I won’t let any of you off the hook!”
Finally, they rushed me to the hospital.
But once we got there… No doctor showed up.
Terese’s fury erupted. She stormed through the hospital halls, demanding to know what happened to the medical team that had been assigned to me.
Zareena’s POV
The nurses looked troubled, clearly caught in a bind.
“Ma’am,” one of them said cautiously, “all the doctors in the city have been called to Edison by Sir Sullivan. Ma’am Shannah pricked her finger during a blood draw, and Sir Sullivan got worried something might happen… so he had every doctor stand by, just in case.”
She hesitated, then added softly, “Right now… there are no doctors available in Paterson. Not a single one.”
Terese’s face went pale with fury. She started calling her son again and again, her voice shaking with rage.
“This is madness! His wife is in labor, bleeding out, and he calls every doctor in the city away just to fuss over his mistress? Does he even care if his wife dies?!”
By the tenth call, Sullivan finally picked up, his voice cold and laced with impatience.
