Ernesto glanced at her. “Look out for yourself."

"I did the right thing." Camila stood firm.

Ernesto disagreed. Perhaps because he had witnessed too much sorrow in his time.

Or maybe it was just his calm doctor demeanor.

He'd seen life's harshness, especially in heart surgery.

Costs soared into the thousands, millions even.

Many couldn't afford it and therefore gave up.

They could only wait for death.

Emotion wouldn't change that.

He'd fight and try his best to help but could he save them all?

"You acted rashly. If it happens again, don't repeat it. Call me cold but I'm here to save lives, not to bail when someone messes up. Do you understand me?"

Ernesto locked eyes with her.

Camila got the message.

She wanted to help Kameron but his family didn't see this.

It was a common tale.

Dealing with it might upset her enough to make her quit being kind.

Some might even leave the medical industry for good.

"I have an operation later and must get going."

Ernesto rose and left.

Camila mulled over his words.
