The tight space barely allowed her to stretch her legs, and the blistering heat radiating off the engine block had her drenched in sweat within seconds.
Dominic slumped beside her, contorted uncomfortably as his stomach began to churn violently once more.
He closed his eyes, rubbing his temples in misery.
As the chopper finally lifted off, Seraphina let out a ragged breath.
The cabin felt suffocatingly small, dominated by the whirring trauma monitors and the blood-soaked stretcher.
She huddled next to it, her hand securely clutching her daughter's fragile fingers.
Sitting across from her, Gideon opened his mouth several times to urge her to rest, but always thought better of it.
Looking at the terrified, hollow expression on her face, he knew nothing he could say would make a difference.
Tristan kept glancing between Seraphina and the unconscious child, a permanent crease marring his usually flawless brow.
Deep in the rear, Dominic braced himself against an equipment crate, riding out waves of excruciating nausea.
He tilted his head, catching a distant glimpse of Seraphina hunched fiercely over the gurney.
He desperately wanted to know if Lily was going to survive.
He desperately wanted to walk over and see for himself.
Swallowing the bile rising in his throat, he shifted his weight to stand—when Cynthia groaned pitifully and slumped against his shoulder.
"Dominic... everything's spinning..."
Her face was ashen, and she shivered violently, looking as though she might faint at any second.
Dominic froze. He looked down at her fragile frame, then glanced back up at the chaotic medical scene near the front.
Seraphina was with Lily. She would be fine.
But Cynthia only had him; it was his duty to protect her.
