Maya's POV
I stare at the death threat on my phone screen as my taxi speeds toward the hospital.
"Turn around now or die tonight."
Someone knows I'm coming. Someone wants to stop me. But Ethan's sister is in emergency surgery, and I promised to protect her.
I can't turn back now.
The taxi pulls up to the hospital entrance. I pay quickly and step out into the cold night air. The emergency room doors slide open automatically, and I walk inside like I'm walking into my own execution.
The waiting room is crowded with people. Nurses rush past. Doctors bark orders. Everything looks normal. Where's the trap?
I approach the reception desk. "I'm here to see a patient in emergency surgery. Her name is—"
I realize I don't know Ethan's sister's name. He never told me.
"Stone," I finish. "Her last name is Stone. She was brought in about an hour ago."
The receptionist types on her computer. "I don't have anyone by that name in emergency surgery tonight."
