“Joe's engrossed in TV; Bowen's fast asleep. I've got nothing else on my plate. Plus, it'll be quicker with an extra pair of hands,”

Camila reasoned.

Suddenly, as Glenda proceeded into the dining room with the cutlery, she fell.

Smash!

The shattered pieces of cutlery lay scattered across the floor, a stark reminder of the sudden chaos that had unfolded.

"Glenda," Rowena exclaimed, her voice tinged with panic.

Camila swiftly assessed the situation, realizing Glenda's struggle for breath.

Without hesitation, she initiated CPR. "We need to get her to the hospital," she stated calmly but firmly.

Rowena's worry was palpable. "But there's no one else at home. What do we do?"

Camila met her mother's gaze reassuringly. “Mom, I'll drive. Let's get Glenda into the car together. I'll take her to the hospital, and you stay here."

With determined resolve, Rowena nodded her agreement.

Together, they carefully lifted Glenda into the car.

“Keep me updated," Rowena urged as they prepared to depart. "You're a doctor. You can save her."

"I know," Camila replied with quiet confidence. "Don't worry."

Arriving at the hospital, they wasted no time in transferring Glenda to the resuscitation room.

Camila paced outside, anxiety gnawing at her with each passing moment.

The wait felt interminable.

But finally, news arrived-Glenda had been stabilized in time.

She had suffered from breathing difficulties and an anoxic coma due to cardiac distress.

Thanks to Camila's prompt actions, Glenda received the necessary medical attention in time, ensuring her recovery. Medication and rest would be essential for her recuperation.
