Chapter 8 - Private Medical Specialists Arrive At The Brooklyn Facility
At four o'clock in the morning, three top cardiologists from Johns Hopkins Hospital arrived at St. Jude’s Hospice in Brooklyn via helicopter.
Ethan had used his remaining private personal funds to secure the elite emergency medical transport team to evaluate Olivia’s failing heart.
Dr. Samuel Greene examined Olivia’s charts, his expression grave as he reviewed the advanced myocardial tissue degradation.
“The damage is severe, Mr. Pierce, but there is an experimental treatment available at our primary research hospital in Baltimore,” Dr. Greene stated.
“It carries immense risk, but without it, she won't survive the week. The choice is entirely yours and hers to make.”
Ethan sat on the edge of Olivia’s bed, taking her hands into his own as tears welled up in his tired, bloodshot eyes.
“What do you want to do, Liv? I will be right beside you every single second, no matter what you choose,” Ethan whispered softly.
Olivia looked over at Lucy, who was fast asleep on a small vinyl couch in the corner of the room, clutching her worn backpack tightly.

“I want to live, Ethan... I want to see our daughter grow up,” Olivia said, her voice filled with a sudden, renewed spark of hope.
Ethan kissed her forehead, turning to Dr. Greene with absolute determination: “Prepare the air ambulance. We are going to Baltimore.”
