"Daaaad! It's for you!" Peter woke up from his ringtone abruptly, ending his dream. 'This sucks!' was the first thought in his head.

"Who is this?" Peter answered impatiently.

Not bothering to change or shower, Peter rushed to the hospital.

The girl who called was Audrey. He couldn't understand why Grace's illness was still recurrent even after he had treated her several times. The treatments should have been enough to cure her totally.

"There you are. Go to my mom, now!" Audrey said, greeting Peter immediately at the hospital entrance. Her eyes were red and swollen. It looked like she had been crying.
