Upon meeting up with the mother and daughter close to a year later, Mulligan said, “It was really heart-warming to meet the family and get a cuddle with Lydia. She’s growing fast and such a beautiful baby."
“I wouldn’t be a mum today if it wasn’t for them," added Everett. "They saved not one, but two lives that day,” she said.
