I gripped the cold steel of the hospital chair, my knuckles white from
the tension, but I couldn’t bring myself to care about that now. My gaze
flickered between the floor and the white door that held my mother
confined inside, and everything in me was itching to check up on her.
What was taking so long?
It had been several hours now, and no one had entered or left the
room, and my patience was starting to wear thin. I needed to know what
was going on.
Every creak of the hallway, every hushed murmur from the nurses’
station, sent a jolt of anxiety through me. It had been hours since they’d
wheeled my mother in there, and the last image of her that I’d seen before I
had been sent out of the room caused a heavy weight to settle within my
chest.
My mother, usually vibrant with life, had laid pale against the
starched sheets, a battlefield of tubes and wires snaking across her fragile
form. The rhythmic hiss of the oxygen machine that mocked the shallow
breaths escaping my mother’s lips had made me burst out into sobs so loud
that a nurse had carefully taken me out of the room.
“She’ll be fine. You have nothing to worry about. Take a walk
around—it’ll help take your mind off the examination, and it’ll be over
before you know it,” she’d assured me.
That was two hours ago; in that time, I’d walked the entire perimeter
of the hospital, but it did nothing to take my mind off her as she’d
promised. Instead, it became all I could think about with every passing
second. I needed to know what was happening.
Just as I stood, the door opened, and the doctor in charge finally
emerged. His face was blank, but I knew that expression and what it meant
—I’d seen it before—and it made my heart drop.
Dr. Patel, the kind-eyed doctor who’d become a familiar face over
time, cleared his throat.
“Ms. Fairfax,” he began, his voice heavy. “Your mother’s
condition . . . has, unfortunately, worsened. This particular episode ravaged
her system more significantly than previous episodes. It’s a good thing that
you brought her in when you did.” His voice was gentle, but his tone did
nothing to reduce the impact of his words.
My breath caught in my throat, and tears stung my eyes. The past
year had been a delicate dance of denial and hope. Since my mother had
been diagnosed, I’d known it was only a matter of time before her condition
got to this stage—especially since, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t
seem to raise the money required for further treatments.
