Intentional. “Don’t go far.” Ten minutes later, Iris was halfway through updating charts when the overhead announcement crackled to life. “Code Blue. Emergency intake. Cardiology required immediately.” Her heart skipped. She was already moving before the announcement finished, sneakers pounding against the floor as she reached the emergency bay.

We had to open her chest and there is always the risk of reoccurring heart attack, stroke, or infection. The question is who will be paying for this? Our insurance department has informed us that she does not have any.”

He had looked so haggard that day at the hospital, and she couldn't quite shake off the uneasiness within her. "I'm sorry, Pat. Let's end the ceremony here. Your mother is pretty disoriented now and probably won't suspect anything." With that, she pulled off her veil and called her assistant, Riley Drakins. "Look up Wyatt's medical records." Ten minutes later, Riley called back, her voice somewhat uneasy. "Ms. Fischer, the records show that Mr. Hammond has acute cardiomyopathy. His heart transplant surgery was supposed to be a week ago…"

She loved Sarah so much and would rub mad if anything happened to her. "Your daughter?" He asked in shock and I chuckled, "Yes, she is in the St Martin's hospital in an ICU because she has an issue with her heart" I explained "Should we be moving her with her condition?" He asked "Get your boys to arrange a very hospital for her to continue treatment immediately. You get her out of this place and be quick about it," I ordered; we couldn't waste much time because Savannah would be up soon to check in on her daughter before going home.

I groaned, trying to speak. My stomach hurts. “Wait, let me get you some water. Don’t strain yourself.” She walked to the dispenser in the room to fill up a cup for me. A room with a dispenser is an expensive, extensive care room here at the Heart Inc. Rooms like this are for patients of wealthy families or backgrounds, or people undergoing complex treatment.

"Let Alpha Ronan Blackridge worry about his own trash. You’re coming home." "The only place I'm going is back to work," I snapped, turning my back on him. "And if you touch me again, I’ll have the Blackridge Enforcement HQ cite you for harassment on neutral ground. Even a Quinn isn't above the territorial laws." I didn't wait for his response. I moved through the heavy steel doors of the Medical Sanctuary, the scent of antiseptic and silver-neutralizer flooding my senses. My heart was thumping—not from fear, but from the raw, jagged energy of the shift trying to break through. I needed to focus. Every minute the heart-stenting procedure was delayed for our latest victim, the higher the risk

Cardiac episode. He's stable — I want to be clear about that first. But he's asking for you." Lewis stopped walking. Yessica stopped beside him. "How serious," he said. "Stable means stable," Dr. Patel said carefully. "But he'll need monitoring for the next forty-eight hours. If you're able to come—"

Her cardiac monitor had been alarming intermittently for the past hour, her heart rate fluctuating between 95 and 125 despite the beta-blockers. Detective Kim sat beside her. "You should go to the hospital. Not as a doctor. As a patient." "I'm already in a hospital." "You know what I mean." Emma closed her eyes. "I need to be at the FDA hearing tomorrow morning. Ten AM. If I check myself in, they'll admit me for observation. I'll miss it." "And if your heart stops like it did yesterday, you'll miss everything permanently." Sophie appeared in the doorway, Damien behind her. "We've been calling you for hours. Why didn't you answer?"

"I'm Dr. Richard Castellanos, Chief of Cardiology at Johns Hopkins. I've been asked to consult on the case of Benjamin Thompson. Where is he?" The nurse at the desk looked completely stunned. "I, Room 304, but we weren't informed that," "You are now. These are my colleagues from Cornell, Mass General, and Stanford. We'll be taking over Mr. Thompson's care effective immediately. Please prepare the paperwork to transfer him to the VIP ward. We'll need access to your best equipment and a private surgical suite if necessary." "But sir, we can't just, the insurance," "Has been taken care of," Dr. Castellanos said crisply. "All expenses covered, no limits. Now please, time is of the essence. The p

“Our specialists are currently executing a sequence of runic diagnostic evaluations, but our immediate data confirms her heart-beast suspended its rhythm due to an extreme escalation of internal palpitation.

Your eyes may access her ward later tonight.” The elder healer allowed a wry smile to touch his lips, his head shaking slightly. “Her life path grazed the absolute edge of the abyss, but your spirits can dismiss any lingering panic. Her beast will survive this event. However, my office must demand an answer—does your daughter’s lineage file conta
