The hospital looked the same as I remembered it. White walls and quiet halls.
That faint smell of antiseptic and sorrow. But the moment I stepped in with Asher wrapped in my arms, it felt like the walls leaned in closer,whispering secrets I never wanted to face again.
MedCare Hospital… Dante's hospital.
Was the top ranked and best hospital around.
They treated and cured illnesses that felt illegal to even exist.
Mama Sage and I had traveled all the way there and both prayed we'd get out undetected or recognized by someone who knew she was Dantes wife.
Asher's breathing had become more and more shallow. His lips were pale and fingers ice cold. I held him against my chest the whole time, praying, begging the moon goddess for a miracle, for just one more breath.
I walked up to the front desk, voice cracking. "Please… I need to see Dr. Lucinda Jameson. It's an emergency. She knows me….my name is Elena."
