The doctor’s words provoked a chemical reaction of acidity that gnawed at Susana’s insides while dissipating all her body heat. Her legs began to tremble, and her lips turned white and cold as ice.
“I’m really sorry, but Ana won’t be able to go home with you. I have also ordered that Eduardo and you be tested for covid-19. ” Said the doctor, but her words bounced off the void of silence existing in Susana’s brain that she continued to be stunned by the news. Eduardo was the first to react, “Doctor, I want to see my wife before I go home.”
Las palabras del doctor provocaron una reacción química de acidez que carcomía las entrañas de Susana al mismo tiempo que disipaba todo su calor corporal. Sus piernas comenzaron a temblar y sus labios se tornaron blancos y fríos como el hielo.
