Emily had avoided every security officer; they had tried to block her path until she made her way into the elevator and the doors shut. The entire time, Emily could not help but tap her foot repeatedly on the elevator floor because time seemed to be taking so much longer to get to her son.
The man on the phone had not given Emily much information, other than that her son had fallen seriously ill and was being taken to the Children's Hospital. With Gorgio's heart condition getting worse by the minute, Emily could not help but think of the worst.
Once the elevator doors opened, Emily rushed out and began searching for the room number that she had been informed of. Once in the hallway, Emily paused when she saw her mother sitting in the visitor chairs with her head in her hands.
Immediately, Emily felt a cold feeling through her as she held in her sobs.
