"No pulse. She is gone… Our condolences," the paramedic added softly.
"Try for a pulse again. She wouldn't die and leave her son alone. Please do something," Olivia pestered on, but what could the medics do?
They carried Daniella's body and took it to the morgue. Arnold was sobbing uncontrollably, and Olivia forgot about the sorrow of losing a friend and thought of Arnold's sorrow of losing two parents in a span of two years.
"It doesn't make sense," she told Arnold, but he didn't answer. The image of his mother's lifeless body stuck in his mind and haunted him.
The department of forensic evidence termed the death accidental drowning, and the toxicology report revealed that there were traces of alcohol in her body.
That surprised Olivia because she had seen Daniella drink only countable times, and all those occasions were during celebrations, so what exactly had made her drink just before her death?
