Few minutes later Lucia's family showed up in a great state of panic and grief at the hospital.
Sarah and Manuel tried there best to sympathize and comfort Jay.
Lucia's mother just sat, white, motionless and staring into space, her grief and sorrow was genuine, Dan tried as far as was humanly possible to comfort her.
Few hours later, the door opened and as doctor Franklin came out, Lucia's mother rushed to him.
"Doctor please tell, me how is she?" she begged.
The rest moved slowly towards the doctor and Kate.
The doctor shook his head, as a sign that she has not made it.
"Am really sorry we couldn't save her, her condition has shown some delicate results. We are gonna conduct some series of tests. We are going to give you the full results after some few days." said the doctor sorrowfully.
Upon hearing that Lucia's mother swayed, and Dan leapt forward and caught her and laid her gently on the floor.
She was in a frightful state, shuddering and sobbing.
In the end doctor Franklin had to give her an injection to quieten her, and then she went off to sleep.
Manuel, Jay and Sarah burst into a flood of tears.
