Stuck in you

When Kevin finally caught his senses, he saw Rachel's mouth moving. Dazed, he couldn't understand what she was trying to say. The patient had been stabilized and the nurse headed out to inform the family about her condition.

As Kevin washed and sanitized himself, Rachel followed the patient into the ICU.

The patient's mother and sister followed close behind.

After the patient was sent into the ICU, the elderly woman gently grabbed Rachel's hand. With tears streaming down her face, she choked a brief thank you to her.

With glossy red eyes, the young lady thanked her as well.

Rachel nodded.

She comforted them and began to ask them questions about the patient's medical history.

Too overwhelmed with tears, the elderly woman could only sob.

The young lady on the side answered, "My sister has no medical history. She only caught a cold two weeks ago." She bit her lips and emphasized, "My sister has always been healthy. We never knew that she had a heart condition."

Rachel lowered her head and recorded this information. She lifted her eyes and said calmly, "Heart diseases are very common. There could have been many external factors that contributed to the heart attack. We'll try to run some tests to understand more about her condition."

The young woman's face changed. She wanted to ask Rachel something, but she decided otherwise since her mother was here.

After a brief pause, she thanked Rachel once again. "Thank you, doctor."

"No problem." Rachel closed her note book and looked at the ICU before saying, "The patient is still in a critical condition. She will be under observation for the next twenty-four hours."

"What do you mean that she's still in critical condition? Doctor! Did my daughter's surgery fail?" The elderly woman's face changed and she grabbed Rachel's hand tightly.

Before Rachel could reply, the young lady walked up to her mother. "Mom, the doctor said that they will keep her under observation. Don't worry."

The elderly woman still shook nervously. "Really?"

Rachel placed a hand on the woman's shoulder. "Yes, don't worry. The nurses will be here checking up on her every hour." Then the nurses came out of the ICU.

"Can I go stay with my daughter?" the elderly woman asked.

Rachel nodded her head.

After hesitating for a while, the young lady walked up to Rachel. "Doctor, will my sister survive?"

Rachel hesitated, it differed between the cases. "The patient is currently not in good shape. But we're doing everything to ensure that she will make it."

"By the way, she has been losing weight recently and is suffering from malnutrition." She bent
