The moment they all rushed into the room, Maria was struggling to breathe. She was gasping for air, her chest rising and falling rapidly as though she were on the brink of death. Panic filled the room instantly.
The doctor hurried over to her bedside, quickly checking the life support machine she was connected to. His brows furrowed in confusion when he noticed everything was functioning properly. Nothing seemed out of place.
As he turned back to Maria, she suddenly let out a loud sneeze. The sound echoed through the tense room, shocking everyone present.
"Maria! Maria!" the doctor called her name over and over, but she was too weak to respond. Her body trembled slightly, her lips parted, but no words came.
Without wasting time, the doctor instructed the nurses to remove the life support. He immediately pulled the curtains wide open and opened all the windows to increase the natural air in the room.
"Check her drips!" he commanded urgently.
