"Stay awake with me Maggie."
Alex said, realizing that Maggie's breathing was getting weak, trying all the time to control her thoughts, in the face of that situation she didn't want to despair, she touched once again the pillar above Maggie's legs, with an effort she tried in vain to remove it. the object, whether it did not move, his fear was that the building would suffer new shocks.
“No, make an effort, dear.”

"I can't feel my legs."
Maggie muttered in a calm tone, but it conveyed sadness.
"Shut up Maggie, you're not a doctor, you don't know what you're talking about."
Alex said, trying to reassure the woman, her intuition told her, that the woman's condition was very serious.
"At least you won't worry about me running after you."
Maggie said in a good-natured tone trying to smile, but coughed with the attempt.
"Stop it Maggie, you're fine, let's get out of here alive."

"Ma...Mag...Maggie."
Alex whispered to Maggie's relief as she hugged her body.
