SECOND CHANCES

  I could feel the anxiety and pain slowly engulfing me as we crossed the road to the hospital. I didn't listen properly to what Leon said and the only thing that stuck in my mind was when he said where it was—he was rushed to the hospital!

I immediately looked at the nurse's counter. "M-miss, Hector Aragon..."

That's all I said because I couldn't understand what was happening around me. He seemed to understand what I said. He looked at his monitor for a moment before turning to me.

"Still in the emergency room, Ma'am."

I frowned. "Huh? I thought he was—"

"Ana, I found them!" I heard Leon scream so I looked at him quickly.

I didn't waste any more time. I immediately followed him as he led me to the emergency room. I can still feel my surprise because I know that his condition is critical. Why is he still in the ER?
