"Something's happened to your mom!
"She's suddenly gone into shock. We're at the city hospital now, so hurry up and get over here."
There was a sob in Patrick's voice on the phone.
I was trembling with fear.
I forgot all my grievances for a moment and immediately drove to the hospital.
When I arrived at the hospital, I quickly ran to pay the bill.
Sarah finally came to her senses after first aid.
She was never very well and always gone into the hospital a few times a year, but nothing could be traced to the root of the problem.
I always suspected that her shock was the result of a heart problem, with intermittent insufficient blood supply.
I had repeatedly urged her to have a checkup at a well-known hospital, but she always shrugged it off.
I watched Sarah lying on the hospital bed, pale and skinny.
I felt extremely upset and worried.
All the dissatisfaction in my heart had long vanished.
For the next few days, I took time off work and spent days and nights at the hospital looking after Sarah.
At night, I would help her with her urinal, and I took her upstairs and downstairs in the hospital during the day to do tests and pay bills. I was so tired and out of breath.
