Emily hesitated. “It’s a possibility, but we’re not sure yet,” she replied. Jane followed up anxiously, “What should we do next?” Emily advised patience and further testing, stressing that they needed more evidence before jumping to conclusions.

Jane nodded, understanding the need for caution, but the realization that her new discovery could potentially be dangerous added an unexpected layer of anxiety.
