Chapter 5 - EMERGENCY AT CEDAR HOSPITAL
The sterile corridors of Cedar-Sinai Hospital were filled with the urgent sound of running footsteps.

Dr. Harrison stepped out of the ICU, holding a digital chart containing Maya’s medical scans.

"She suffered a minor concussion and a fractured collarbone from the blunt impact," Dr. Harrison reported.

"The mother, Hannah, has two broken ribs but managed to shield the little girl from lethal trauma," the doctor added.
Nathan walked into the quiet recovery room, seeing Maya resting peacefully under soft cotton blankets.
Hannah lay in the adjacent bed, her brown hair cascading over her pillow as her brown eyes met his.
