Zade parted her back softly. He had no idea why she suddenly woke up and started crying. He thought that she had a bad dream. After what felt like forever, Isla finally pulled away from Zade,her breathing uneven. Zade could hear her heart racing so fast that it worried him that she might have a heart attack.
Her hands continued to linger on his chest even after she pulled away, grounding herself with the warmth of his body. She couldn't feel his heartbeat under her palm.
She turned to look at the room. Elaris was around and she wondered where she was. She turned towards Alyssa who just returned holding a wet cloth and a jug of water.
"I'm sorry. How long…" Isla coughed,her voice was raspy barely a whisper. "How long was I gone?"
Alyssa placed the jug on the table beside the bed passing a brief with Zade before turning to Isla. "You've been unconscious for almost a day. Twenty two hours to be exact. I'm glad that you're finally awake"
