Chapter 599: When the Past Refuses to Stay Buried
Sophia's eyes widened.
For a moment, her mind refused to catch up with what she was seeing.
She helped to cushion his fall, but she still couldn't process what had just happened.
"Orion!"
Her voice came out sharper than she expected.
Her hands moved quickly—one at his shoulder, the other brushing against his face.
He was burning up too. She wasn't an expert when it came to this, but she knew his temperature was beyond the normal range.
"What…?"
Her fingers hovered for a second before pressing more firmly against his cheek, as though confirming it would somehow change the truth.
It didn't.
Her heart began to pound.
"Fuck!" she muttered.
She tried to think of any reason why he would collapse. Maybe this was similar to that time he had been bitten by a Trihydra, but then there had been no attack recently. He hadn't fought anyone, and she also knew that there was no injury on his body.
It didn't make sense.
