“Ms. Elena Vance was admitted two hours ago with severe hemorrhaging. She is stable for now, but she specifically asked that we contact you if things became complicated. She also left an envelope for you.”
I felt the world tilt beneath me. “Hemorrhage? Why? What’s wrong with her?” “The attending physician will have to explain that to you when you arrive. Can you come?”
I don’t even remember answering. All I know is that ten minutes later, I was heading back to the office for my keys, my wallet, and the first flight I could book to leave that very night for Miami.
