Taylor was slightly startled.
He exchanged a glance with Aunt South and immediately rushed into the ward.
One of the characteristics of a nervous cough was that it tended to get worse at night.
Aunt South switched on the light.
Everyone could see Mrs. Olsen sitting halfway up in bed, her hand covering her mouth, her face red from the effort of coughing.
She clutched her chest. Her frail body trembled violently with each cough. The sight was alarming.
Taylor steadied her by the shoulder. "Shirley, are you all right?"
But Mrs. Olsen said, "Medicine…" Then she coughed again.
Taylor was puzzled.
Aunt South, however, understood and immediately rushed out to bring in the medicine bottle given by Keira. "Mrs. Olsen, the medicine is here!".
Mrs. Olsen nodded, and as Aunt South anxiously opened the bottle and was about to hand her a tablet, her hand was stopped by Isla.
