The bumpy journey reopened Eileen’s abdominal wound, causing her immense pain.

“Ouch, it hurts!” she exclaimed.

Eric furrowed his brow and asked, “How much longer until we reach the hospital?”

“The road repairs are causing some congestion. It’s going to take at least an hour,” Vera replied, startled.

Eric uncovered Eileen, revealing her blood-soaked clothing underneath. “Why didn’t she say anything?” he wondered.
