Fragile Health
It's been 3 hours since her mother is inside the emergency ward. For 3 hours, she cannot stop shaking and sobbing. All she can do is pray.

Evelyn gets up and hastily walks to the doctor, tears, and sweat making her look worse. "Doctor, how is she? Is she alright? Is she out of danger now?" she asks, faster than she ever said.
The doctor removes his mask and tells her, "She is fine now."
But Evelyn isn't quite relieved by his answer. "What happened to her?"
