章 275: Passing warmth

Only lord knows how I felt when her pulse fell continuously and her face turned white. She was hardly breathing when I held her but the woman just chuckled. I knew she was strange the moment I saw her.

  Her eyes were ethereal as if she did not belong to this world. She must have hypnotized Marianne. But then how did she know about Elizabeth and my parents?

But I did not have the time to dwell on it further. I took Marianne in my arms and started rubbing her. Her temperature kept dropping no matter what I did.

I was almost on the verge of breaking down when her breathing stopped. I put my hands on  her chest and pressed with pressure and then started rubbing her hands and legs again.

"Marianne, Marianne..'' I kept on shouting… when she finally opened her eyes. For a moment I could not believe as I had lost hope but when she spoke as if my breaths came back to me.
