Ellie was only in the hospital for two days before being discharge. She had work, a part–time job, and Aaron’s current job came with strict rules, preventing him from taking on any side gigs. She needed to earn more money for her dad’s medication. She couldn’t afford to take a break.

As soon as Ellie got back to her apartment, her phone rang. It was Nancy. “You need to come to the Warren Manor,” she said urgently. “Carlos is sick.” Ellie couldn’t ignore it, so she quickly got ready and headed out.
