Emma White and Timothy Garrison hurried to the hospital upon receiving the phone call, just as Isolde Garrison and Lydia Patterson had been brought out of the operating room.
Isolde had fractures of varying degrees in both legs and a minor concussion.
Lydia fared better, with only one arm broken—the very one that Isolde had been clutching earlier.
Strangely, despite a head-on collision between the two vehicles, the driver who should have borne the brunt of the impact only suffered minor injuries, was treated with medication and dressing, and didn't even need to be kept in the hospital for observation.
However, Emma's focus wasn't on the driver at the moment. Seeing Isolde's pale face on the hospital bed, she felt a surge of heartache that almost brought her to tears; her already frail body swayed violently, fortunately steadied in time by a nurse nearby.
