Hadley's body was ice-cold. Her face was pale and her eyes were clenched shut. A sharp wave of panic rushed through the cleaning lady. “Miss Pearson! Can you hear me? Wake up!" No response. Of all the times for this to happen-Eric wasn't home! Her fingers fumbled for her phone. She needed to call emergency services immediately.

Eric's entire body went rigid. The words hit him like a gut punch. "Which hospital did they take her to?" The guard blinked, caught off guard. "Uh?"
"I asked you- which hospital was my wife taken to?" Eric's voice boomed, raw with urgency, his expression cold E as ice. The guard flinched, scrambling for an answer. "T-the city hospital!"
With a deafening roar, the black car spun into a sharp U-turn, tires skidding violently against the om payement. Like a bullet fired from a gun, Eric's car tore through the streets. Meanwhile, at the hospital...
