Ending the call, she grabbed her bag in a panic.
âSorry, I must go.
Somethingâs come up.
â
Stella, seeing Devynâs distress, reached out instinctively.
âWhatâs wrong? What happened?â
Tears brimmed in Devynâs eyes.
She pulled away from Stella, sobbing.
âItâs my mom⦠Somethingâs happened.
I must go!â
Devynâs eyes were red with tears streaming down her face.
She pushed Stellaâs hand away, ready to leave.
Stella grabbed her arm and said, âIâm coming with you.
â
Devyn could only think of her mom in that moment, her heart racing with panic.
She nodded, not thinking of anything else.
They left the restaurant quickly and caught a taxi.
Not far from them, a black Maybach was parked.
The driver spotted Stella, turned to Matthew, and reported, âMr.
Clark, itâs Stella.
They seem to be heading out.
â
Matthew saw their worried expressions, furrowed his brows, and commanded, âFollow them.
â
Once Stella and Devyn got into the taxi, the Maybach began tailing them.
At the hospital, Stella and Devyn rushed into the ward.
Soon after, a doctor called Devyn into his office.
Visibly anxious, Devyn asked, âDoctor, whatâs going on? Howâs my mom?â

The doctor sighed deeply and said, âHer condition worsened suddenly today.
Sheâs still being resuscitated.
Itâs really up to her strength to pull through this critical time.
â
Devynâs knees nearly gave out.
âWhat can we do now? Doctor, please, there must be something.
Iâd do anything to save her.
â
The doctor looked at Devyn with pity.
âThe most urgent need is a kidney donor.
None of the other treatments have been able to cure her fully.
â
Kidney? Devyn stumbled, struggling to comprehend the situation.
She took a deep breath and questioned the doctor, âYou told me just a few days ago that my mom was stable.
Why has her condition worsened so suddenly?â
The doctor exhaled deeply and replied, âYour motherâs condition is complex and challenging to treat.
It could deteriorate at any time, and Iâm not entirely sure of all the details.
â
He paused, as if recalling something.
âHowever, the nurse mentioned that someone visited your mother today.
Right after they left, her condition took a turn for the worse.
â
Devynâs expression darkened, and fear crept over her.
She thought about the mysterious woman who had called earlier.
No one else usually visited her mother, and this woman seemed to know a lot about her family.
âMiss Padilla, donât lose hope.
Weâre doing everything we can to find a kidney donor for your mother,â the doctor assured her.
