His Hidden Child novel Chapter 35

Chapter 34

Finally reaching known grounds I couldn't help but finally feel relief away from all the tension. Sin's hand in mine we walked to the palace doors.

"Your majesty..." a hasty Yelena made her way towards us. She seemed panicked and out of breath, "Caitlin-"

The moment I heard her name I was up and about into the room. Her name ringing in my head like alarming bells as my heart clenched.

Opening her bedroom door, there she lay in bed completely drenched in swear tears pouring out of her eyes. This couldn't be happening again... This isn't supposed to happen.

Placing my hand on her burning forehead caressing her cheek, my mouth felt dry, Sin rushed in out of breath with worry as my words refused to formulate.

"D-doctor... Call the doctor Sin!" I yelled in utter distress. "Yelena, iced water" I shouted.

"We've tried that your highness, it didn't work in fact she seemed like she was getting worse"

My held fell on cailins face as my desperation took over.

Useless...

Absolutely and utterly useless is how I felt not knowing what to do. There lay my child slowly falling unconscious to pain and I sit here uselessly.

Sin held me trying to comfort me. All we could do was wait. All we could do was hold on. All we could do was watch her in pain.

Every passing second felt like minutes and every minute hours. Soon the rushed steps of the doctor flew right up to Caitlin's bed.

We watched as the doctor examined her. He let out a sigh after giving her some sort of medication. Whilst doing his check up she slowly seemed to be feeling better. My heart was pounding unconditionally as relief began sweeping over me.

"Your majesty may speak to the both of you outside for a moment?" the doctor asked.

Sin nodded as we stepped out and Yelena stepped in to aid Caitlin in our stead.
