"Charlotte, for God's sake, calm down! We're in a hospital!" Chandler warned in a stern voice

"To hell with that! My son almost died, and you're worried about making a scene?" Charlotte snapped back.

"That's bullshit! Dalton would never do such a thing!" Charlotte exclaimed in disbelief, convinced Meryl was spinning lies.

"Why don't you ask him yourself when he wakes up?" Meryl challenged.

Charlotte froze, momentarily stunned into silence.
