Recognizing Rowena's concern, Camila complied and retreated to her room.

Unable to fall back asleep, she picked up a book and began reading.

Just as she had turned a few pages, a sudden knock echoed at her door.

Camila rose from her seat and opened the door.

Standing before her, Joe nestled in her arms, Rowena looked anxious.

"Look, Joe has developed numerous red bumps on his body. Looks like an allergic reaction."

Upon closer inspection, Camila noticed the bumps not only on Joe's arms but also scattered across his body.

It didn't look like anything close to an allergy.

“Ask the driver to prepare the car. We need to take him to the hospital!" Camila instructed.

“I'll go with Glenda. You stay here," Rowena suggested, considering Camila's condition.

Camila disagreed, her determination clear.

"No, I am worried. I can bundle up and join you."

Observing her resolute stance, Rowena realized she couldn't be dissuaded, and so reluctantly agreed to let her accompany them.

They hurriedly made their way to the hospital with Joe. After a thorough examination, a doctor explained, “This is a viral infection, likely caused by bacteria from an animal with fur. Do you have any pets?"

Camila nodded.

"Yes, we have a dog."

The doctor inquired further, “Has Joe come into close contact with the dog?"

"Yes," Camila admitted.

“Do you have a health certificate for your dog?" the doctor asked.

“I believe so," Camila replied.
