Thank God! Ari said. Per our GPS, ten more minutes to the ER. They are on standby General. Here we are... Savannah was brought at speed by Benjo and Majel, the paramedics, to the ER. Dr. Zola was waiting. Vitals, please! Everything is alright, Dr. Zola. Where is this blood coming from? She was stabbed in her thigh. Dr Zola said. After 30 minutes, Dr. Zola went out of the operating room. How's my wife, Dr. Zola? She's OK now. We put stitches on her right thigh. Her blood pressure is OK for now, but we need to monitor her for 24 hours. Was she shot or stabbed? Ari asks Dr. Zola. It's a knife, not a gun; she's out of danger. I think was traumatized. I gave her a sedative to keep her relaxed an

One Sunday morning, after church service, Mayor Santi and Ari met at the church entrance.Hey Ari, long time no see! Congratulations on a job well done. I am sad you're retiring, but happy because you found the one.Hello Savannah! Santi chuckles.Thank you, Mayor Santi. Ari responded.Hi Mayor Santi, it's been a while since we bumped into each other here in the church. Savannah said.Yes, we changed our time to attend mass because of our toddler. We had to wait for her nanny in the morning.By the way, Ari, I would like to host a dinner for you and Savannah a week before you leave. I will invite our friends to the community.

It's been nice to meet my extended military family. This was my first time attending such an occasion. I met my aunts, my uncle's sisters, and Uncle Tim and Uncle Rex's wives and children. They welcomed me with open arms. Aunt Eden is Uncle Tim's wife and a good cook. She told me to learn how to cook and be a gracious host. She never worked her entire life because she dedicated her life to being the wife of a military general. They hosted many parties in the past when Uncle Tim was still in the force. When he retires, they travel all over the globe but still host parties once or twice a year.Aunt Mimi is Uncle Rex's wife. She worked for a while, but she quit two years after marrying Uncle Rex. The demands of being a military wife overwhelmed her. She was able to adapt after a while. She also hosted parties, picnics, and office events. However, due to pressure, she developed an anxiety disorder. When Uncle Rex retired from the force, they started to farm grapes and other frui

I can't talk right now. Savannah said.Sir, she can't come to the phone right now. She has a visitor. Edwin responded to Ari.Tell her to call me later!Yes, Sir, I will tell her.After the consultation, Dra Cely prescribed Sertraline 50mg and Lorazepam 25mg. Handed the prescription to Sav and prepared to leave.Thank you, Doc. I appreciate you seeing me on very short notice.You're welcome. Take care of yourself!

After the doctor left, Sav handed the prescription to Edwin, gave him some money, and instructed him to buy the meds at the nearest pharmacy. Then she went to their bedroom and laid down on the bed. She felt so exhaus
