Lena dashed over to Ryan, her steps quick and sure.
"Ryan, what's going on? What happened?"
Ryan was beside himself with worry. "Miss Josefina, my sister suddenly started frothing at the mouth, and our family doctor is completely stumped. I was hoping you could..."
Before Ryan could finish, Lena cut in urgently, "I'll go check on her."
Without waiting for Ryan's response, Lena sprinted off, looking genuinely worried about Jane.
Ryan followed Lena but stopped after a few steps, turning back with pleading eyes. "Ms. Josefina, could you please come too?"
Josefina nodded. "I'll grab my medical kit and be right there."
"Thank you so much, Ms. Josefina. We really appreciate it."
As Josefina went to get her tools, the others followed Ryan to see what was going on.
...
Lena picked up a stethoscope, her face serious. "Ryan, what did Jane eat today?"
"She had a bowl of mushroom soup this morning and a couple of buns. That's it. She's been in the garden all day, so she definitely didn't eat anything else."
Jane was in charge of the garden, pruning, fertilizing, and watering the plants. When she was busy, she didn't have time to eat.
Holding the stethoscope, Lena told Ryan, "I'll mix up some medicine for Jane, and we'll give it to her soon."
Ryan nodded repeatedly, tears welling up in his eyes. "Thank you, Miss Josefina. Thank you so much."
"Ryan, you don't need to be so formal," Lena said, putting the stethoscope back in its case.
She then took out some pills, taking two from each of three different bottles.
"Ryan, I've got some medicine here. Let's give it to Jane now."
Ryan looked at the pills hesitantly. "Shouldn't we take her to the hospital?"
