"Elliot's tough. He'll make it," Danielle reiterated firmly.

Vivian staggered, nearly collapsing, but Howard caught her in time.

Joseph reached for the clipboard, his hand trembling so badly he could barely hold the pen.

Danielle knew hospital protocol, but Elliot's life was on the line. "I'm family. Elliot's my brother, and I'm a trained

medical professional."
