'What happened?'Īs Alberta filled in the other woman, I silently walked behind their bowed heads.

Olendzki placed delicate fingers on Rose's damp temple. Something inside of me screamed for me to pull the limp girl back, but I restrained as Dr. When she saw us she almost squealed as she closed in on Rose. When we walked through the doors of the hospital, the doctor was already fretting around the waiting room.

I nodded towards Alberta, who was standing in the middle of the isle. 'Is she alright?' I could see that she so much wanted to help heal her friend.īut I shook my head.
