She now felt the desperate need to propel her life forward amidst the cruel clutches of her ailment. Beck was also sad at the thought of it, but he was hoping she would recover soon.
It seemed to her that she would never envision the beautiful life she had dreamt of again. She thought that all had come to an end and she would never encounter such life that she had cherished. What if there wouldn't be positive signs

Beck looked into her beautiful blue eyes. They were seen as gleaming during daylight as they had when both of them were in college. He assured her again that nothing serious would occur to her.
