Unloved Unwanted Unstoppable (Seraphina and Dominic) novel Chapter 1

Seraphina Sinclair lay on the operating table, feeling as if every drop of blood had been drained from her body.

She summoned every last ounce of strength to pull back the curtain.

Her husband and daughter were dragging a doctor toward the adjacent bed.

"But the patient in room one is in critical condition. I need to prioritize—"
