the emergency coastguard services arrived and sent some of their guards down to retrieve elisa's body. jia freed herself from camila's grip and quickly ran to the stairs of the bridge in order to get to the shore of the river where the emergency services were with elisa's body.

"she's unconscious and her breathings stopped, are you her guardian?" the coastguard asked jia who was beside him - but they were in such a hurry he didn't get a reply.

as jia was about to get into the ambulance with them, camila held her wrist: "let's go in my car."

jia pulled her hand away, "i'll just go in this vehicle," and with that - she got in, sitting beside elisa's body. the agent intertwined her fingers with the footballer's, crying.

once they reached the hospital, she still hadn't regained consciousness.

"prepare for intubation," the doctor said as they started doing everything they could to get her breathing and consciousness back up.

after an hour, she still laid there, pale and limp. the doctor looked away from her body out of sorrow, "nothings working, announce her death."

jia's eyes widened as she quickly jolted up to the doctor: "no, no keep trying!"

"there's no use, she's out of breath and nothings working."

tears streamed down jia's face as she quickly turned to the doctor who still had their hands on her chest; they were in the middle of doing cpr again until they were stopped. "don't take your hands off. if you give up now i won't let you off, please keep trying," jia cried out.

the doctor sighed and tried cpr a few more times, but still, no response.

"please contact her family members," the doctor said.

"no, no!" jia cried out as she got dragged away.
