"What?"
Veronica looked wide-eyed and mouth agape, when she heard the bad news that had befallen Lucas.
"You want to lie to me? How could my son have an accident? No! This is impossible!"
Veronica shook her head repeatedly, trying to shake off what she had just heard from the foreign caller who had called her on Lucas' cell phone. It was like a dream to him, but in reality she wasn't sleeping.
She didn't want to believe it. However, the caller continued to convince that it was Lucas and Ellena who had the accident.
"Not!!" Veronica shouted just before her body fell to the floor, unconscious. Mentally too weak to face the harsh reality of her only son.
The servants in the house swiftly approached Veronica's body, which was lying limply on the floor in a supine position. They worked together to bring Veronica to the sofa in the living room.
"Madam, wake up!"
