She grabbed it and saw that Ernesto was on the line.

Could it be news about the director?

Was it good or bad?

Nervously, she answered, "Hello."

"Get over here fast! The patient's having a sudden cardiac arrest. I'm on it right now."

The voice on the phone was filled with urgency.

Camila felt her heart skip a beat. Yet, she managed to keep herself calm and responded, "Understood."

"Come in from the hospital's back door when you arrive. I'm worried the family might come looking for you," Ernesto advised.

"Got it," Camila replied.

After hanging up, she acted as if nothing were amiss. “I'm done riding for today. Dr. Quelch just called. He says the director's stable now and wants me to come check on him."

She avoided telling Isaac the real condition, fearing he might insist she stay.

Isaac looked at her skeptically for a moment and asked, "Really?"

It was clear he had his doubts.

With a reassuring smile, Camila said, "Yes, if you're skeptical, why not come along?"

Isaac got up and declared, “Alright, I'm coming with you.”

Camila was taken aback.

She hadn't expected Isaac to agree.

Now, she could only accept it. After all, she really had to get to the hospital immediately.

“Let's head back to the room to take a shower and change," Isaac suggested.

There was no time for a shower now. "Just the clothes for me. I'll shower later tonight. We should head to the hospital first."
