The night had deepened, and apart from the occasional medical staff checking on patients, the corridors were deserted.
Jayden Maguire was showering in the bathroom when a doctor quietly entered the hospital room.
He was holding a tray with a cardiac stimulant injection on it.
For patients nearing death, this injection was a lifesaving miracle.
The doctor stood by the bedside, took a deep breath, calmly took Jayden Maguire's father's hand to prepare to inject the cardiac stimulant into his body.
Injecting through the arm would be slower, allowing sufficient buffer time.
Suddenly, the doctor's hand holding the syringe was seized.
Startled, he looked up and saw Jayden Maguire's father, who had been unconscious for five days, glaring at him.
"What are you doing?" asked Jayden Maguire's father, not angry yet imposing, his voice loud as a bell.
