Having read the 2nd part of Sunshine Matt Baby's new story, I can't believe she let Sunshine die in the desert

Question

I think we need to hear the rest of the story. Surely Marshall Dillon must have found some way to save her.

AND NOW PART FOUR:
"The Desert"
Subtitle...." In The Hands of God: Oh Come, Angel Band"


Matt held her hand and put it to his face......." I love you, Sunshine~~~~~ Please come back to me."

All that long night, Matt was by her side; Bathing her lips with balm, putting drops of water in her mouth, soothing her sunburned skin with aloe. Doc checked in from time to time, hoping to see a difference in her condition.

By 8AM, as Matt was doozing off, he felt someone touch him and jolted awake. He looked at Newly and Festus as they held him down.
Matt: "What the HECK?!"
Doc:" Now you jest rest yourself, Matthew. Old Doc wants to give you a little something to help you...... relax a little; That's all."
Matt struggled as he watched Doc prepare a syringe.
Matt: "Damn it, Doc !! What's this all about?!" He looked frantically at Sunshine's still body........ "SUNSHINE?!
Doc: "Matt, I'm going to give you something to help you sleep."
Matt: "I don't want to sleep!! What's going on, here ?!.....Oh, GOD!" He looked at Sunshine again, more carefully. Her breathing had become very shallow, difficult to discern.
Doc:"Matt....She's not getting better. And you........ Well you're going to be my next patient if you keep on like this."
Matt struggled to free himself from the grasp of Newly and Festus.
Matt:"If you put that thing in my arm I swear I'll ......" The sting of the needle was the last thing he felt. He reached for Sunshine, whimpering like a child, as he fell into a deep sleep. They put him in a bed they had brought from the jail.
Doc looked at Festus: "What do you think YOU'RE doing?!"
Festus: "I'm moving the bed next to Sunshine. THAT'S what I'm a’doin’ . The three men gently lay Matt in the bed. Festus took Matt’s hand and placed it on Sunshine's. " Cain't do no harm." He took off his hat, patted their two hands softly, and walked out of the room quickly.

People were gathered on Front Street as Festus made his way down the long flight of stairs.
Burke: “Well ? What’s happening?! “
Festus:” Sunshine is ….dying.”
A collective gasp could be heard.
Kitty: ”And Matt?”
Festus:”Ol’ Doc had to sedate him.”
The silence that followed was deafening.

Doc took Sunshine’s pulse. He rubbed his face, squinted his eyes and carefully put her hand back, resting atop Matt’s.
“They’re in YOUR hands now, God.”

Answer 2

Matt Baby reached around behind himself and pulled out a stand and a little bag of Lactated Ringer's Solution. Deftly he bounced out the bubbles, and inserted the needle into Sunshine's arm. The IV started. Within minutes, Sunshine started to look better... although it'd be days before she lost the sunburned look.
