After Anna finished treating the two children with acupuncture, she snapped back to reality, drenched in sweat.
Her legs felt like lead, and she collapsed onto the floor.
She looked down at her hands resting on her knees, noticing they were shaking violently.
Biting her lip hard, she tried to suppress the fear clawing at her chest.
This was no time to be afraid, if she let panic take over, the children's lives could be at stake.
With fierce determination, Anna scrambled back to her feet and carefully examined the children.
Seeing that the toxins in their bodies had been suppressed, she finally exhaled in relief.
Just then, the ambulance arrived. Anna quickly helped the children into the vehicle.
At the hospital, she watched anxiously as they were wheeled into the operating room before collapsing onto a chair in the hallway, utterly drained.
The dark, quiet corridor felt endless.
