In a whirlwind of panic and adrenaline, Alexander and Sophia bundled Ben into the car and raced to the hospital, their hearts pounding with fear and worry. The drive felt like an eternity, each passing moment filled with anxious anticipation as they prayed for Ben’s safety.

Upon arrival, they burst through the hospital doors, their faces etched with concern as they pleaded for help. Nurses and doctors sprang into action, wheeling Ben away on a stretcher as they assessed his injuries.
