On the other hand, it was supposed to be a half an hour trip, but I beat the red lights and arrived home in 15 minutes.
As soon as I opened the door to the house, I saw Galen frantically running into the bedroom with a bag of ice.
My heart immediately clenched. Without even changing my shoes, I rushed into Nicole and Winnie's bedroom and said anxiously, "Nicole, hang in there! Mommy will send you to the hospital now."
The moment I entered the room, I saw Nicole, whose face was red, lying on the small bed. She was covered with a blanket and her eyes were slightly open. She looked at me weakly.
I pushed Galen, who was standing in front of the bed blocking my way. I reached out to pick Nicole up and ran out, but Galen stopped me just as my hand touched the blanket.
"Ahem, Luna, I think Nicole's getting better. Maybe we shouldn't go to the hospital," Galen said unnaturally.
