For over three decades, Dr. Robert Wright had been known to be the calmest person in the whole hospital. Regardless of the situations that would occur in the delivery room, nothing would affect his ability to remain in control.

From across the room, the mother of the baby, Joanna Ellis, picked up on the look on his face instantly. Feeling drained after giving birth, she lifted herself up a little. “Is anything wrong with my son?”
