She can't pick it up now. '' I will be getting off,'' Lucy said opening the door she started running from the pavement. '' If nothing is going to work, I will just run.''
It took more than thirty minutes for her to reach the hospital. She ran up to the elevator and appeared in front of the surgery room. '' Dad,'' she called out in a panting tone. Robin was comforting Lucy's mom sitting in front of the seat of the surgery theatre.

I would never steal money from the company. I could never do something like this.'' she kept yelling.Julia stepped in between them. '' You need a motive? Then...what about your dad?
