Elton's condition had been critical, but with immediate medical intervention, he would have had a chance to live.
But he was already gone?
The news hit Elsa's parents like a physical blow, leaving them frozen in place.
It was a bolt from the blue.
How... how could this have happened?
Elton was their only son.
Now that he was gone, how were they supposed to go on living?
Elsa's mother burst into tears. "Elton! Elton, my boy!"
Elsa's father struggled to keep his composure. "Lanny, you... you're joking with us, aren't you?"
It had to be a joke.
It simply had to be.
His son was over six feet tall. They had just spoken on the phone a little while ago. How could he just be... gone?
If he had known this would happen, he never would have supported his son's decision to study abroad.
No one could understand the depth of his regret at that moment.
He desperately needed Lanny to tell him it was all just a cruel prank.
Lanny's voice came back, thick with emotion. "Mr. and Mrs. Summers, I'm... I'm not joking. You two need to figure out a way to get to Valerium. It's time to bring Elton home."
Thump.
Mr. Summers's legs buckled beneath him. His vision went black, and he collapsed to the floor.
"Honey! Honey!"
Chad Summers was normally in excellent health. He'd never had a serious illness, not even a common cold. It was always his wife who was prone to fainting spells.
His sudden collapse sent Mrs. Summers into a panic. When she couldn't wake him, she frantically dialed 911.
