Zeph immediately corrected himself, not believing how the flood of emotions coursing through him caused him to misspeak. He could only chalk it up to being thankful that she was alive and would heal enough to return to duty in time, and trying not to let her know just how close they got to losing her and Emera.
The report he could see scrolling through his vision didn't paint a picture of a bright future where Emera sniffed out pockets full of illicit Mod pills while Rena busted skulls at the Los Diablos Plaza Mall. The last thing that Rena needed to hear was bad news that would dampen her spirits. She needed positivity, rest, and maybe a soft kiss for luck.
Emera would live to a ripe old age, but based on what the veterinary doctor wrote in that report, the odds of her ever being able to return to duty were abysmal.
