The ride to the hospital felt like a blur.
All she registered was the comforting presence of Camilla and Ashton at her back as she rushed through the fluorescent hallways.
Ethan had given them a lift while Ashton had gone to pick Sera up and he must have sped because they arrived at nearly the same time.
"We'll run some tests and if everything comes back okay, we'll be ready to operate tomorrow," The doctor told her.
Emmaline nodded numbly.
This felt like a dream.
She would pinch herself but if it was a dream, she didn't want to wake up from it.
How could she bear it if she went back to a reality with a sick mother and no hope in sight?
But it didn't seem like a dream at all.
The countless papers she signed, the number of doctors who came to speak with her and her mother about the risks and the possible outcomes…
This was real.
It was happening.
