护士忙于她的工作，她甚至没有抽出任何时间抬起头看夏洛特。
“可是...”
“对不起。”
就在这时，夏洛特被其他家长推开了另一边。
现在怎么办？说真的，我现在该怎么办？
“小姐，我们为什么不去其他医院试试运气呢？我们已经等了大约半个小时，队伍仍然和开始一样长。如果我们继续这样晃动，恐怕艾莉再也坚持不住了，“贝瑞太太一边用湿毛巾擦拭衣服上的污渍，一边建议道。
看着昏迷不醒的女儿苍白的脸，夏洛特别无选择，只能在事情进一步恶化之前向雷娜寻求帮助。
雷娜几乎立刻接起了电话。“温特女士？”
“朗汉医生，我呃，我朋友的女儿生病了。然而，儿童医院里挤满了人，他们已经等了几个小时，但仍然没有轮到他们。不幸的是，女孩的病情每分钟都在恶化。你认为你可以......“
”好的，温特女士，冷静点。只要把你的朋友带到这里。我会亲自对待她。
“好的，太谢谢你了。我可以有地址吗？
“我现在就送你。”
挂断电话后，夏洛特和贝瑞太太叫了一辆优步，朝着地址走去。
幸运的是，医院离他们所在的地方不到两英里。
在他们去的路上，夏洛特低声说：“贝瑞太太，等我们见到雷娜，告诉她艾莉是你的孙女。
