Nick lunged forward and gripped the doctor's white coat collar tightly. "What did you say? Say it again!"

The doctor sighed before repeating helplessly, "My condolences."

Nick's hands shook, his throat tightening. He wanted to question further, but words were stuck in his chest, unable to be spoken or swallowed. He shoved the man aside and charged toward the operating room like a madman.
