Chapter 38: The Pain Threshold For Sound

A mother's worst nightmare was getting a call about their baby being hurt. Kendra Chamberlain was in the middle of cleaning out the birdcage when the phone rang. She saw it was from Ivy's school and figured it was the nurse's office calling to say she was still sick.

She had figured Ivy shouldn't have gone back to school already but she insisted. That girl was going to have to go to the hospital whether she liked it or not.

"Kendra Chamberlain," she answered.

"Hello, Mrs. Chamberlain. This is Howard Beyer, Ivy's biology teacher. There was an incident today during class. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but she fainted and hit her head on the way down. She is being taken to the hospital as we speak."

Kendra nearly dropped the phone in shock. Ivy had definitely been sick but fainting? She had never fainted before!

"Which hospital?" she asked faintly.
