Heidi had breakfast ready and caught a taxi to the hospital, arriving in the morning.
Rush hour traffic crawled along, and she felt her nerves fraying as she worried Carry might be hungry without anything to eat.
Earlier, Zain had phoned Heidi, telling her to prepare breakfast and bring it over when convenient. Heidi had asked, "Mr. Jacob, you're going to work, and Ms. Vins is heading to the lab. Who's going to stay with Miss Carry?"
Zain had answered, "Sue's mother will be there."
Hearing that Mrs. Jacob would be present, Heidi finally relaxed a little.
She'd taken extra care with Carry's breakfast, making everything particularly special, which took longer than usual.
After stepping out of the taxi, she rushed anxiously through the hospital corridors carrying the food container, finally reaching the room.
But when she entered, neither I nor Carry were anywhere to be found.
