Useless humans

Once the doctor left. Hector cupped her face, noticing how cold she was. Her body temperature was so very low. She was sweating a lot. 

"Jewel." Hector called her noticing that she wasn't fully unconscious.

Jewel's lips parted trying to speak but her words turned into a painful whimper. Hector knew what was happening. Her body was falling apart. Something was changing in her body. She should be in a coma by this time of the night. 

"Try to speak. Jewel." Hector said as he took her hand in his. 

...

Jewel's body was cold to the point that she was shivering. Even the thick blanket that was covering didn't provide her any warmth. The only source of heat she felt was when she felt someone's hand holding hers. She wanted to feel that warmth more.
