The doctor hesitated, his face somber. "We're not sure yet," he said. "But her heart rate and blood pressure are both low. We need to run some more tests to figure out what's going on."

Carmela looked furious as she walked into the office of Andrew, her lawyer.“Hey, Carmela. You didn’t inform me that you were coming.”Andrew said, jolting from the chair he sat on.
