The doctors launched their line of inquiry, echoing the questions previously posed to David. Their investigation was routine until they discovered Emily’s recent childbirth, a mere two weeks prior. In just a few seconds, David discerned a distinct change in their expressions. Grasping the seriousness of the situation, they wasted no time in arranging a series of tests and gathering samples of Emily’s blood for further lab analysis.
As the tension mounted, Emily and David anxiously awaited the test results, hoping for some hint as to Emily’s potential condition. However, the doctors remained noncommittal, avoiding any direct answers. To exacerbate the stressful wait, David received an ill-timed text from his father: they were unable to continue looking after the triplets.
