Eve Thompson, alongside Anthony Charlie, sprinted into the hospital's emergency room.
As they reached the floor, they saw Emma Tonkin had already arrived; she sat on a bench in the hallway, her expression a complex mix of emotions.
Eve Thompson, supporting Anthony Charlie, helped him take a seat next to her, then she rushed over to Emma Tonkin. She crouched down, looked at Emma, took hold of her hand, and called out, "Mom..."
It was then that Emma Tonkin finally moved; she lifted her head to look at Eve Thompson.
She seemed a bit sad, a bit distressed, a bit excited, and a bit relieved... The myriad of complex emotions made her seem on the verge of collapse.
Eve Thompson swallowed hard and inquired, "How is it going?"
No sooner had she asked this, than the door to the emergency room was pushed open.
Right away, a doctor came out, pushing Jonas Thompson's hospital bed.
