Chapter 8 - Elena Is Rushed To The Hospital For Injuries

Back on the patio, paramedics arrived with a stretcher and medical kit to evaluate Elena and the young baby.
“We need to get you to Mercy General Hospital immediately, ma'am; your ribs and cheek need X-rays,” the paramedic instructed.
Elena nodded weakly, handing the baby over to a female medical technician who checked the infant’s vital signs.
Marcus rushed over, holding his son close to his chest while looking down at Elena with deep concern.
“Please let me pay for everything, Elena... let me accompany you to the hospital to make sure you’re alright,” Marcus pleaded.
“Just take care of your son, Mr. Vance. That’s all I ever tried to do today,” Elena replied softly as she climbed into the ambulance.
The ambulance doors closed with a heavy thud, and the vehicle pulled away from the driveway with its lights flashing.
Marcus stood alone in the driveway holding his baby, watching the red taillights fade into the rainy Seattle evening.
