Bernard and Cassandra followed the nurse into the doctor's office, their steps quick and uneasy. The nurse quietly showed them in and then gently closed the door behind her, leaving them alone with the doctor.
"Good evening, Mr. Bernard. Please, come in and have a seat," the doctor greeted warmly, motioning for Bernard and Cassandra to sit.
They both sat down across from the doctor, their faces a mix of anxiety and curiosity. The silence in the room felt heavy as they waited to hear why they had been called in.
"I know you're probably wondering why I asked to see you both," the doctor began, his tone calm and professional. "I just need some important information about Maria. It might help with her treatment and speed up her recovery."
Bernard let out a small breath of relief. "Oh, I see. Please, doctor, what would you like to know?"
