But the most frightening thing was what lay inside.
Two newborn babies were wrapped in old towels.
One was crying weakly.
The other was barely moving.
“Oh my God… Sweetheart, where is your mommy?” Linda whispered.
The little girl raised her exhausted eyes.
“Mommy’s at home. She’s sleeping.”
“Then why didn’t she come with you?”
The child hesitated for a moment.
Then she answered.
“Because I can’t wake her up.”
Linda knelt in front of her.
“How long has your mommy been sleeping?”
The little girl held up three fingers.
“Three days.”
Linda felt her heart tighten.
Within seconds, the entire emergency department sprang into action.
The doctors rushed the twins away for treatment, and the little girl panicked, running after them.
“Please, don’t separate them! Mommy said they always have to stay together!”
Linda gently wrapped her arms around the child.
“How did you get here?”
