Necropolis of Heart
Chapter 2

"I... have a hole in my heart." Stated her mother.
"What? Are you being serious mom? You know I hate this kind of jokes. Please tell me you're joking."
"Unfortunately I'm not"
"When did this happen?"
"I had a hole in my heart ever since I was born. The surgery I had in my childhood was only partially successful. It was suspected that I would have a hole in my heart again"
"Oh my! Does it hurt"
"No. But I won't be able to be by your side for much longer now."
Anna breaks into tears.
"No that is not happening. I've already lost dad and now I can't afford to lose you too. Let's get you to a hospital the first thing in the morning."
"Why? I mean, the treatment will cost us a fortune and I don't even think I'll be able to make even till the end of the surgery. The chances of me living are only 10%."
"At least it is 10%. Even it was 0.10% you still will be taking the surgery. Tomorrow, we are going to the hospital the first thing in the morning."
"No we're not going anywhere."
"Yes we are and there is no more a place for an argument. Now I think you should get some rest."

The next morning they go to the best hospital they can afford.
Being in a middle class family, they can't afford an expensive hospital.
Anna's PoV
We reach the hospital and meet the doctor there. The doctor writes down a couple of tests. I recognise one of them as an MRI test.
After the tests the doctor confirms that mom has a hole in her heart.

They also missed one thing. A very important one at that too.
