She quickly rushed towards them and found Gabriele lying on the floor, with foamy saliva coating his face.
"Gabriele!" Delfina called, picked the little boy up from the ground, and shook him, trying to wake him up. "Wake up!!" She pleaded. But the little boy didn't wake up as more foamy saliva continued to coat his face.
Quickly, she turned to Marianna. "We have to take him to the hospital."
They all got in the car. Delfina cradled Gabriele in her arms, still trying to wake him up but her efforts were to no avail.
Her heart pounded hard against her chest, fear gripping her like a second skin at the thought of what could have possibly happened to Gabriele.
She shook him once again but he didn't react.
"Drive faster, Marianna!" She yelled from the backseat, tears already streaming down her face.
Marianna stepped on the gas, speeding past multiple vehicles, breaking the speed limit. She sighted a few officers on the roadside, but she didn't give a fuck about them.
