Margaret felt her heart pound in her chest when she saw the nurse shaking her head. Her knees weakened and she nearly staggered to the floor.
Xander reacted instantly, his reflexes sharp as he reached out to steady her before turning to the nurse.
"How is the lady, nurse?"
With a sombre expression, the nurse responded seriously, "Mrs. Davies's condition is critical. The doctor is treating her, but nothing can be said for certain yet. You will have to wait for the doctor to step out and update you in detail."
She then retrieved the prescription from her pocket and handed it over. "We need these medicines immediately. Please arrange them as soon as possible."
Xander exchanged a glance with Margaret before helping her steady herself. Taking the prescription from the nurse, he gave her a firm nod.
"Don't worry. I will get it right away."
With that, he turned and left.
Margaret slumped onto the sofa nearby as she watched the nurse walk back upstairs.
