Taya’s head was pounding.
It felt like a dozen little people with jackhammers were inside of her skull.
And words couldn’t even begin to describe the disoriented feeling that had overtaken her.
She stretched her arms and legs out a bit, her limbs aching with the movement and causing a wave of nausea to flow through her.
Forcing her eyelids open a little, she almost cried when she realized she could see light. Everything was blurry, so she blinked multiple times, praying to the goddess that she would be able to see more than just light and shadowy blobs.
Then again, even that was better than the total darkness from before.
From before…
She’d been in the hospital before. And this was most definitely not the hospital. The sheets beneath her felt silky, not stiff and scratchy from over-washing like at the hospital.
Had Harper or Jackson taken her home with them?
Taya blinked a bit more, and the shadowy blobs started to take shape.
Until she found herself being stared intensely at by a penetrating pair of almost-black eyes.
Taya immediately felt flustered, and she quickly lowered her eyelashes to block his burning gaze.
He stared at her for a long time. When he was sure that she had really woken up, he straightened, turned around, and walked out without saying a word. Soon, he came in with an old man.
George couldn’t wait to finish her examination. He looked up at the man and said, “This is extraordinary. Absolutely extraordinary. Of course, I’ll have to run more tests to determine the full scope of her condition, but her heart sounds healthy.”
Hearing this, a trace of impatience appeared on the man’s handsome face. “You said that she wouldn’t wake up. What’s going on now?”
George scratched the back of his head. “When I diagnosed her before, the results were inconclusive. It would appear that Rosalie’s transformation ritual indeed worked, and it has healed her heart.”
The man seemed to roll his eyes at him and looked a little annoyed. “What should we do now?”
George helplessly spread his hands. “I don’t know, either…”
Holding his chin with one hand, the man thought for a moment and said to George, “Why don’t we kill her?”
