A bitter-sweet farewell
Eventually, the baby was taken away from Nicola’s home and put into the adoption system. Lucy was sad for some time after the baby left, not acting like her usual self, and spending time alone. Eventually, she would get back into her old rhythm once again but the sadness she felt when what she believed to be one of her children was taken away would never fully recover. Nicola and the rest of the people in the building would do their best to cheer her up and after everything that had happened, Lucy was, if anything, the hero of the community and their pride.
