"No... Ave''s kind and caring... He''s not what you say... He''s not!" Mrs. Chambers bellowed, her eyes zing red with fury, her voice piercing through the silence like a siren.


    Her face twisted in a grotesque mask of despair, anger, and sorrow - so severe that even Evadne Ashbourne, who had weathered many storms, felt a chill down her spine!


    Suddenly, the woman in the wheelchair convulsed as if electrocuted, gasping for air with a dry, gaping mouth.


    "Mrs. Chambers!"


    Evadne, shocked and pale, rushed to grab Mrs. Chambers'' trembling body. "Mrs. Chambers... What''s wrong? Are you in pain?!"


    "Uh... Uh...!"


    Mrs. Chambers'' eyes rolled back as she frothed at the mouth, her fingers syed out in panic.


    Evadne''s heart skipped a beat. This seemed like a seizure, or possibly a stroke.


    Guilt flooded her - her harsh words had triggered Mrs. Chambers, leading to this copse.


    If anything happened to Mrs. Chambers because of her, Evadne would be tormented by guilt and remorse!


    She immediately called for the nursing staff.


    But the clinic''s doctors weren''t equipped for this emergency - they needed an ambnce, and fast!


    "Oh my... What do we do?!"


    Seeing Mrs. Chambers in agony, the nurse was on the verge of tears. "But even if we call an ambnce, the hospital''s so far away. How will we make it in time?"


    "Call for an air ambnce!"


    Evadne, beads of sweat on her forehead, made a snap decision. "It''ll cut down the travel time significantly!"


    The nurse quickly arranged for an air ambnce as Evadne helped move Mrs. Chambers'' stiff body onto the grass for better ess.


    She checked Mrs. Chambers'' eyes and performed a quick assessment.


    But something didn''t add up - Mrs. Chambers'' symptoms pointed to a sudden illness, yet her tongue was a bluish-purple, and there were faint rashes on her


    arms...


    Filled with doubt butcking the tools to investigate further, Evadne did her best to ease Mrs. Chambers'' distress.


    Fifteen minutester.


    A helicopternded in the nursing home''s back garden, its des stirring up a storm that startled the swans on the nearbyke.


    "Mrs. Chambers! Hang in there, please!"


    Desperate, Evadne helped the medical team load Mrs. Chambers onto the stretcher and into the helicopter.


    "Ah..." Mrs. Chambers clung to her hand like a lifeline, tears streaming down her face, unable to speak.


    "Don''t be afraid, I''m with you," Evadne reassured her, feeling a deep sense of guilt watching her suffer.


    She boarded the helicopter with the medical team.


    As the helicopter took off, Evadne suddenly heard a whisper, a chilling voice calling her name: "Evadne."


    Her heart clenched.


    Turning abruptly, she locked eyes with a pair of enigmatic, abyss-like eyes.


    The next moment, a sharp pain shot through her neck, sending a chill down her spine.


    Then, her vision blurred, and she lost consciousness, copsing into the arms of the mysterious man.
