XAVIER'S POV
"Mr. Diego, could I please talk to you. In private. It's about your sister. Nicole."
I nodded and got up. My nerves had begun to create a havoc inside me again. I felt that warm touch on my palm and I turned to see my mum holding my hand.
She was looking at me.
Just like I was looking at Ophelia.
With questions lurking in the bright orbs.
Will my Nicole be okay?
Will she come home with us?
Will she be able o spend time with us?
"Ma, I will come."
She didn't let go of my hand. Instead she latched onto it harder. I squeezed it back and tried to give her a smile. To ease this burden on her shoulders.
It was too fake to work but I tried.
"Ma. The doctor's waiting."
She nodded and let go of my hand.
I began to walk away from there quickly. The doctor had already moved a lot forward. I jogged upto her and nodded.
