The doctor in charge of Mia's father stepped out of the emergency room. Behind the thin mask that he was wearing, the man was frowning, which only heightened Mia's worry as she got to her feet and questioned him hurriedly, "What's the matter, doctor? Is everything alright with my dad?"
Her father was her only family; the last thing Mia needed was to lose her pillar of support when she needed him the most.
"It seems like we need to push your father's surgery forward, Miss Wills." The doctor took the reports that the nurse handed to him and showed them to Mia. Pointing to the fracture in the leg of her father, he explained, "You see this? The bone is completely broken off, and the end has pushed within the tendons and the nerves. If it's not treated in time, we will have to amputate the leg of your father."
"Because such wounds can fester from the inside."
