Doctors and nurses rushed to the scene, bolting into the room where Sherilyn lay.

Immediately, the doctor started administering oxygen and pressure to Sherilyn while instructing a nurse to give her an IV medication.

Gilbert and Edgar were both ushered out of the room, each taking up a post at opposite corners.

The continuous beeping of the monitor seared through Gilbert's heart like it was on a grill, yet simultaneously, it felt as though he was drenched in ice water, sending shivers down his spine.

Gilbert and Edgar both straightened up, asking in unison, "How is she?"

"She's stable now."

The doctor explained, "It was an emotional overload that caused the issue. The patient is too weak to handle any stress right now. Visits are not allowed for the moment. You should all head home and come back tomorrow. Don't worry, our nurses will take good care of her."
