"Sasha..." he whispered, not knowing what to say. "Your mom passed out..."
"Why? What happened?" Sasha asked. "Mommy! Wake up, Mommy!"
It was painful to watch his daughter crying. He wanted to comfort her so badly but he couldn't since he had Alex in his arms.
"Daddy? Why is Mommy not waking up? Is she going to be okay?"
Robbie felt helpless. How can she explain to his daughter what happened earlier?
Bernie saw how Sasha was starting to panic and he pulled the girl to him. The girl cried uncontrollably as Bernie and Robbie looked at each other.
Bernie didn't need to know all the details about what really happened earlier to understand everything.
Something had made Alex like this and it was serious. Although Alex sometimes had panic attacks, they never got to the point that she passed out. Most of the time, they were able to manage it by doing some relaxing techniques with her.
