I didn't give either of them a chance to speak.
I sobbed so hard I could barely get the words out, gasping between every syllable, voice cracking and raw.
"Mom, Dad, what do I do? There was a crash. I... I don't even know how this happened."
"Where are you right now?"
"We're at the hospital and we really need you here. The doctor says treatment is going to cost so much money, but no matter how much it is, we can't give up!"
"I already called all the relatives and friends over. If we can't come up with the money, I'll beg them to lend it to us..."
The moment Silas and Zoe heard I'd summoned everyone, their panic flipped straight into fury.
After all, if they borrowed money from the Delgado side of the family, guess who'd be on the hook to pay it back.
So they were beside themselves.
"Don't panic. Your mother and I are on our way."
"That's right, just hold tight! Whatever it is, wait until we get there!"
Even though they said they were coming right away, it still took them a full hour to finally stroll into the hospital.
The second they arrived, they didn't even pause before jabbing their fingers at me and tearing into me.
