Chapter 66 What The Hell…

• Isla stood in her mother’s kitchen, preparing dinner. She had arrived that afternoon to find her mother lying in bed, barely responsive.
• Despite Isla’s concern, her mother refused to go to the hospital, insisting instead that a doctor could attend to her at home. Reluctantly, Isla agreed and called Doctor Charles, their longtime family physician.
• As she set the soup on the stove, she poured a glass of water and made her way back to the bedroom. Doctor Charles was already there, standing beside her mother’s bed.
