The Last moment

She could hardly breathe. The doctor was constantly pumping her chest. The small kid's eyes were full of tears. He was standing outside with his nose pressed hard against the glass of the I.C.U.

Holly was walking fast and as soon as she saw Tintin she started running to hold the little child in her arms

"No, honey. She needs special care. You annoy her with your pranks. So let her stay here."
