" As the transfusion went on something like life seemed to come back to poor Lucy's cheeks, and through Arthur's growing pallor the joy of his face seemed absolutely to shine." (Seward pg. 130)
Van Helsing, Dr. John Seward, and Lucy's fiance Arthur Holmwood have realized that Lucy has fallen ill and seems extremely weak. All she can do is lay in bed and tolerate the pain she's goinf through. Her symptoms led them to conclude that what she needs to become well again is blood. The two punctur wounds on her neck were also noticed but were disregarded because they didn't know what they were or were from. They decided to do a blood transfusion using the youngest and strongest man, Arthur. He had no problem with this proceedure because he's so in love with her and wants to see her get better. After the blood transfusion she seems to be a lot better and feels better. The big question in everybody's mind is how is she losing so much that she would need so much to be transfered into her...
Van Helsing is very knowledgeable about these evil spirits known as vampires and uses garlic to try and keep Dracula away. It's a big fear that he might come back for Lucy to finish what he had started.
We've read a lot about Lucy and her condition but my question is what has happened to Mina and Johnathan? They're both a big part of this story so I know they haven't died but I do think that Dracula has might've done something with both of them. I also wonder what's going to happen with Lucy since she's been bitten by Dracula. The doctors can't just keep giving her blood transfusions so something has to be eventually done with her. Does she even know what going on with her condition or somewhat of a disease???
