Just as Sylvia was about to collapse onto the shattered glass, someone caught her arm.

"Sylvia, what the heck is going on with you?"

It was Chris.

Spotting a familiar face, Sylvia clung to his sleeve like a drowning woman grabbing a lifeline.

Chris took one look at her pale face and quickly helped her to a chair, then cracked open a window to let some air in.

Once she was settled, he slipped into doctor mode, checking her pulse and looking her over.

He frowned, half-grumbling, “Didn't I warn you before? Your body's running on empty, like a phone at 2%. And now you're short-circuiting! Any longer and I'll be picking out a casket for you.”

Sylvia managed to catch her breath and shot him a glare, glancing sideways at Naomi, who was on the verge of tears.

Chris caught the look and tried to lighten the mood. “Kidding, kidding. Just trying to remind you to take better care of yourself."

Naomi wiped her eyes and asked, “What happened? You were fine a minute ago, and then you just collapsed."

Sylvia jumped in, "It's low blood sugar. I was rushing to bring you some food and forgot to eat myself." "You scared the hell out of me. Hold on, I'll get you something to eat."
