Adam Jones drove to the First Hospital, seething with anger.
As soon as he stepped out of the car, the fierce energy surrounding him made people instinctively steer clear.
Each time he entered the emergency department, the overwhelming bustle hit him like a wave, causing his brow to furrow in frustration.
"Hold him down hard, don't let him move about..."
A familiar voice, slightly breathless, reached Adam's ears from outside. He turned to see Elly Campbell kneeling beside an emergency cart, focused on trying to save a patient critically injured in a car accident.
Her hands, face, and clothes were smeared with the patient's blood, but the determined, meticulous expression on her face held Adam's gaze, unable to look away.
He stood there, frozen, watching her until she, along with the patient, disappeared into the resuscitation room.
More than half an hour passed before Elly emerged.
