Straight into the dark
The following days returned to the same situation, Zoé''splicated state of health did not change,
for Andy the routine had now be going to visit his daughter the hours he was allowed to and in
his spare time looking for doctors who they could help their daughter, her life was bing a real
hell, she had entered a state of inexplicable depression, she rted everything to her childhood, he
had every intention of taking care of Zoé, not abandoning her as her father did at the time , and be
with her, but fate was taking care of ying a trick on her, one morning she again went to the clinic
as usual, but this time would be different.
He is approaching his daughter''s room, when he notices that she is surrounded by a group of
doctors and nurses, they are all desperate, Andy tries to enter, but a nurse prevents him, he feels
like everything stops in his path.
“No sir, you can''t go on”.
“Let me in. What is happening to my daughter?” Between two nurses they stop him, he does
everything possible to try to enter, but they don''t let him, Zoé was having a crisis and had just had a
stroke, they were trying to control her.
Andy is taken out by the security personnel, and now he is in the waiting room, more than an hour
has passed since he witnessed what was happening to his daughter, her mother arrives
immediately and they are both waiting for news about Zoé, but no one in the hospital gave them a
single answer.
“Son, I''m going to ask how the girl is.”
“Thanks mom, they won''t let me in, if I try to do it without their permission they call security”.
“I know son, don''t worry I understand you perfectly”.
When Raquel goes to the reception to ask about Zoé, a doctores out and immediately
recognizes her, he was just going to give them news about her. Andy watches as the doctor talks to
her mother, but panics when he sees that she immediately copses, a cold went through her body,
and she runs towards Raquel.
“What happened? -Andy asks the doctor why his mother doesn''t react.” N?velDrama.Org content.
“Your daughter, Mr. Andy, we tried to do everything possible, but she left us, I''m really sorry” The
doctor leaves.
For Andy it was as if a dagger had pierced his chest, he felt such strong pain in his heart that he
thought he was going to die, he began to scream desperately, wondering why his daughter was
crazy, and pushed everything that was in his wake, his reaction was too violent and the security
personnel had to take him out of the hospital, his mother next to him was holding him by the waist,
because he did not even have the strength to stand up, arge piece of his being was gone , the
pain of the loss of his daughter was calcining him inside, an inexplicable pain, because for him, Zoé
was the only thing he considered truly his.
His mother tried tofort him with all her might, but it was almost impossible, it was a long
moment of sadness, after a long time of in constion, Andy managed to calm down, and fall into
the reality of what was happening, he had to face a grieving process, which, although she did not
ept it, was irremediable.
About two hourster and with a little more calm due to the news received, they approach the
hospital, Andy is finally allowed to see his girl, now she looked like an angel, the angel that heaven
had sent her to know the true meaning of love, that although it was true, he had not conceived her
as he would have loved, she was tied to him by the feeling so deep that Andy was born when he
found out about her existence.
Raquel took charge of Zoé''s funeral rites, it would be a small funeral, she left Andy saying goodbye
for thest time to her baby and took the opportunity to give Camille the bad news.
“Hi Camille, are you talking to Raquel?”
“Hello Rachel, how are you? How''s Zoé doing? I''ve thought about them too much, but Andy doesn''t
answer my calls or messages”.
“Daughter, it''s that he doesn''t want to hurt you, but I think that now is when he needs you the most,
above all else”.
“I don''t understand, what happened Raquel?” Camille''s voice began to break, I feel a chill listening
to her.
“Zoé could not resist anymore and left this earthly ne” When Camille heard what she had told
her, she covered her mouth and the in fell immediately down her cheeks, although she was not
as close with her stepdaughter as she would have liked to be at the time. , the simple fact that his
great love was suffering due to the loss of his daughter, caused a break in his heart.
“I''m leaving Raquel”.
Camille leaves desperate for the hospital, she only longed to be Andy''sfort, she imagined that
the loss must be breaking her heart, if she still did not recover from the death of her mother, she
knew clearly what he was really feeling, all the way the tears came out uncontrobly from her eyes
and she just wanted to hug Andy.
When she got to the hospital, she got to the waiting room where they were both, and she couldn''t
help but jump straight at him, who on this asion, didn''t refuse, hugged her so tightly and cried on
her shoulder as if she were a small child. without constion, she could not get away from his
chest, she understood it, she understood it, she felt her pain as if it were her own, she perfectly
understood the loss of a loved one, the best remedy in these cases was to let off steam and even
better to have a shoulder on whom be able to do it.
Andy clung to Camille during those hard moments, although he didn''t say a word, just what was
necessary to bnce his little daughter''s obsequies, he was totally in tune with Camille, that night
they slept together in her apartment, returning to the mansion It was too tedious for him, because
everything would remind him of his little daughter.
The next day the burial of the little girl was scheduled, Raquel, she had chosen the most beautiful
ce in the cemetery for her body to rest forever, to say goodbye to Zoé, it was only Andy, Camille
and Raquel, Keyra''s family after her death never he took an interest in Zoé, he didn''t even do it
when the girl was born, when everyone found out she had a medical condition they automatically
turned their backs on her.
Andy''s father, from the moment he found out he wasn''t the father, took away the little support he
gave him, he didn''t even speak to him, so he didn''t even show up to offer his condolences, it was a
short moment, but too much touching, after saying goodbye to his little daughter, everyone returned
to Camille''s house, there Andy did not feel the absence so much.
The days went by, and he could not assimte what was happening, at night he had nightmares,
and crying woke him up, he felt guilty for the death of his daughter, and his demons did not leave
him alone.
Camille had to take care of somepany business while Andy recovered, and although she and
her mother were there the whole time, he couldn''t help but fall into a terrible depression, whole days
went by when he didn''t even take a drink. shower, or that he did not eat a piece of food. His health
was deteriorating, not only physically, but also mentally, he spent all day in front of the television,
and had adopted the habit of drinking alcohol, something he had never done.
“Camille, daughter, I feel that we should seek professional help, you who are a psychologist should
know that my son is hitting rock bottom”.
“I know perfectly well, I''m trying to find a friend who is a psychiatrist and an expert in cases like
Andy''s, where they still aren''t able to ovee the loss of a loved one”.
“Daughter, we have to do it soon, or we are going to lose our Andy”.
They both look worried, Raquel was right, if they didn''t act immediately something very bad could
happen, he wasn''t even paying attention to them, he was bing what he hated so much, a man
without aspirations and consumed by alcohol.
