Chapter 30- Everything happens for a reason
                          
________Nadia's Pov____________
                          
Although life has been great living with Andrea and Daniel, I can't help but miss my old life. I miss my mother and the weird bond that we shared. I have so many regrets. I made her life a living hell and now I was paying for it as she was in a coma, unable to respond to me. She seemed lifeless on the cold white hospital bed surrounded by silence.
                          
If only I could go back in time and change the way this all transpired. At least I would have tried to be a better daughter to her.
                          
My heart broke seeing my mother like this. Why was this happening to us? It was all my fault. I sat next to my mother's hospital bed and held her hands gently as hot tears brimmed down my face.
                          
"Mom, I know you probably cannot hear me..but... I-I need you.. to... come back to me. I miss you." I said sobbing and I kissed her hand.
                          
It's been a little over two months since my mom has been in a coma. Apparently, the heart attack was more severe than the doctors thought. I want my mom back.
                          
I continued to sob loudly. The doctors told me that her pulse was getting slower day by day. I needed her to recover. I needed her to be alright and back to her usual self. It was just the two of us in the room and the overwhelming silence which made me feel more crestfallen than I already felt.
                          
As I watched the monitor, I suddenly heard a beep. It was continuous and tears rolled down my face. The monitor which showed her heartbeat was now a straight line.
                          
What was happening? Was this even real? I had only experienced this when watching movies. This could not be happening. Before I could even fathom what was occurring, a group of doctors and nurses rushed into the room and took out a defibrillator.
                          
"No!" I screamed out as my mother's face looked ghostly.
                          
"Mom! Please! Don't leave me!" I screamed in agony as I struggled against the nurses who were pushing me out of the room.
                          
My head was spinning with thoughts that I could not understand.
                          
I screamed and cried outside the door, waiting for the nurses to tell me that she was okay. My mom had to be fine. She could not be leaving me. She couldn't die. This was not how I was going to lose my mother. Not now. I would not be able to live without her. She had to get better.
                          
A few minutes later, the nurses and doctors came out with their heads hanging low.
                          
A male doctor, probably in his fifties came to me. He looked at me with sympathy.
                          
" Nadia, I'm so sorry. Your mother could not make it." he said calmly but it felt like he had just shot me in my chest.
                          
My eyes were filled with tears and I dropped to the floor with a thud on my knees. My entire world was collapsing and there was nothing that could be down to stop it.
                          
It was like time stayed still and silence devoured me, making me feel like I was drowning.
                          
I stared at the floor in shock as the tears rolled down my face like a river. My eyes were void of emotion and I felt lifeless.
                          
A nurse soon helped me up from the floor and sat me on the bench. She patted me on the shoulder but I could not look up to show her my gratitude before she left to continue her duties.
                          
I felt numb. I sat there unable to move or think clearly. My mother was dead and it was all my fault.
                          
Ten minutes later, Andrea came rushing into the hospital. Her eyes had fresh tears. As soon as she laid her eyes on me, she ran towards me and embraced me in a motherly hug. I started to tremble as pain enveloped me.
