“No cure? What what will happen to my children now?” Tears of utter pain welled in Damien’s eyes as he asked in a whisper.! “We are very sorry Mr Damien but the children will not live long, three months to one year is the maximum age of the children that have been diagnosed with this disease.
Damien stumbled back, his chest tightening. “No…No! This cannot be happening to my Elena….No.
