Remington's brow furrowed slightly, his lips pressed together in a thin line.

Remington asked in a deep voice, "What happened? Did you fall? Has the doctor arrived yet?"

"The doctor should be on his way, I guess."

"There's a doctor coming... they'll take care of it..."

As Remington flipped through the documents and signed his name, Stella interrupted him, her voice breaking into sobs.
