“Wow, whose car is this? It’s so luxurious!” a middle-aged woman couldn't help but exclaim.
“Yeah, I've never seen such a fancy car before!” a young man nearby chimed in.
“This car must be worth a fortune, right? When did such a wealthy person come to our village?” another neighbor speculated curiously. “It's more than just expensive!” Someone added, “It's a stretched Rolls-Royce! Look at that license plate. It's a good combo!”
Cole glanced at the luxury car, looked around, and asked, "Cami, where's your company car?
Camila gave an awkward smile and pointed at the only car in front.
“This...” Cole and Claire exchanged glances.
Claire hadn't expected her daughter to have borrowed such a luxurious car.
Young, spotting Camila from outside the crowd, immediately got out and opened the car door.
“Mom, Cole, let's go,” Camila said.
The three of them got into the car under the watchful eyes of everyone.
“Claire, this car... it's incredible!” a familiar neighbor approached and asked.
Claire smiled slightly and explained, “It's not ours. It belongs to my daughter’s company. She just borrowed it.”
“Oh, I see. I thought some big shot had moved to our village.” the neighbor said, realizing the situation
“Sorry, we have to go,” Camila said.
People stepped aside, and Young started the engine.

“Mom, watch your step.” Camila said softly, holding her mother's hand.

They walked into the consultation room.
“Given the current symptoms, I recommend a chest CT and blood tests to more accurately assess the condition,” the doctor said seriously. “Alright, we'll do those right away.” Camila responded immediately.

“Why didn’t you bring her in earlier?” the doctor inquired.

“Let's start treatment. We'll devise an appropriate plan to control the condition as soon as possible,” the doctor reassured. Claire, noticing the worried looks on her daughter's and Cole’s faces, gently held their hands. “Don’t worry. I'll be fine.” The hospital admission process was quick, and Claire was settled into a clean, comfortable room.
The doctor outlined a detailed treatment plan and informed her of the precautions she needed to take.
