I saw her face turn pale instantly, realizing how terrifying my current appearance and actions were.
She slapped her thigh in panic, "Timothy, call Wayne and tell them to reschedule. Larry's health matters more."
Initially, she wanted Shawn and Maryann to stay home and do their homework, but Maryann seemed too frightened to stay alone and insisted on coming with us.
And so, the four of us set off together.
When my dad got me into the car, I thought to myself that once this crisis passed, they must keep a low profile.
We owned a car, arousing many people's envy.
The familiar smell of disinfectant in the town hospital eased my anxiety slightly. At least, we made it through the night.
Krystal was the nurse on duty that night. She rushed over anxiously. "What's going on? Larry was fine when I left this afternoon."
Hearing her voice, I buried my face in my dad's chest and wept. Krystal cared about me so much, and I would not let her suffer for 20 years.
The doctor couldn't find anything wrong, so he prescribed some fluids for observation. If there were further episodes, I would have to go to the larger hospital in the city.
