Faintly, the ambulance sirens could be heard in the distance.
The room became extremely tense. Bella and the others were now looking toward the exit as they saw Bryan and Nick rushing outside to await the paramedics' arrival.
"Bella," Natalie grabbed Bella's hand in worry. "What happened to Henry? Why does he seem to be in pain? He looks pale, and his lips are purple. Is he alright?"
Natalie's trembling voice failed to hide her fright. While her hand gripped Bella tightly, her eyes still stared at her son in horror.
"Mom, he is—" Before Bella could finish her sentence, several quick footsteps were heard coming towards the living room. She saw Bryan leading two paramedics with their equipment, swiftly entering the room.
Natalie's grip tightened as she saw the paramedics approaching.
"Mom, let the paramedics help him," Bella said, pulling her mother into the corner.
