The Doctor’s Diagnosis
When Miles was eighteen, disaster struck, and his world crumbled. His mom and best friend, an acclaimed botanist, suffered a sudden heart attack. Miles and his dad drove her to the emergency room in a panic, praying she’d survive.
Several hours later, the doctor emerged to tell them his conclusions. Miles’s mom was diagnosed with diabetes, and her abnormally high blood pressure triggered the cardiac arrest. The doctor reassured them that she would quickly bounce back, but he was unaware that her recovery would eventually result in her disappearance.
