After Cloudia finished the call with Ursula, she hurried back. As soon as she entered the house, she heard Ursula's wailing coming from the second floor.

A maid spotted Cloudia and respectfully greeted her, "Ma'am."

"What's going on with Ursula? Did you give her any medication?"

The maid's voice was strained, "We've run out of painkillers, and we called the doctor, but he refused to come."

Cloudia's breath caught in her throat upon hearing this, and she hastily made her way upstairs.

Entering Ursula's room, she found her daughter curled up on the bed, clutching her stomach in agony.

At the sound of her mother's voice, Ursula looked up, her face twisted in pain. "Mom, it hurts. It really hurts."
