Book 3: An Emergency

Eros's POV

Before I could rush after Anacá to check who was waiting for her, my phone buzzed with a call from Theia. What could she want? She never called me uselessly. 

Reluctantly, I accepted her call. “Yes, Theia.” 

“Eros, your dad fell down at the club today. They’ve admitted him to Dunant Medical Center. I’m here already. Please, can you make it soon?” She sobbed on the phone while my heart constricted with fear. 

“I’ll be there right away.” I rushed out and drove towards the hospital, feeling panic settle in my heart. Nothing could happen to my dad. He was the only one I had.

Parking the car, I rushed inside to see Theia in the Emergency Department. “How is Dad? Where is he now?” 

“They’re getting him ready for surgery. Please, can you handle the formalities?” 

There wasn’t a minute to lose as the emergency department staff guided me with the formalities. I couldn’t see my dad anywhere.
