They had spent the night in the hospital waiting room. Ashleigh jumped from her chair every time the door opened, hoping that the doctors were bringing news that their mother would be okay.
After arriving, Corrine had been rushed back for treatment. Axel and Ashleigh had been stopped in the waiting room, being updated when there was something to report. But, unfortunately, there hadn't been much to report.
Corrine had been in distress for several hours. She struggled to breathe and cried out in agony. She had faded in and out of consciousness multiple times throughout the night.
Clara had tried to reach out to Caleb, but he wasn't answering his phone. So instead, she had gotten ahold of Galen and let him know what had happened with Penelope and then about Corrine.
Bell had insisted on coming with him to the hospital.
The doors to the waiting room opened. Axel looked back from his place by the window, Bell and Galen sat nearby. Ashleigh had already been waiting by the doors.
