"Smoke inhalation, possible respiratory distress," one of the paramedics called out, as they wheeled Kyra into the emergency room.
Meanwhile, at the scene of the burned-down restaurant, police officers began investigating. They reviewed the CCTV footage, but it yielded nothing conclusive - the cameras had been damaged in the fire, and the footage was too grainy to identify any suspects.
Back at the hospital, Stephen paced anxiously in the waiting room, signing the necessary forms to be Kyra's patient representative. Finally, a doctor emerged, looking somber.
"Mr. Stephen Mackenzie, Kyra is stable, but she's suffered severe inhalation. The flames damaged her lungs, causing her to pass out. However, thanks to your quick actions, she was rescued before things got worse."
"But, how is she now?" Stephen asked, his concern evident.
