Lorraine's POV
I didn't know how to answer Adrian.
Not because I didn't believe Kieran, but because I didn't know what to believe anymore. Elise.… in his bathroom? Bound in silver, bleeding and broken? How do I make sense of that?
But before I could respond, the door to Elise's room flew open with a bang.
"Help! Help, we need help here!" Felix's voice pierced through the hallway like a blade. "Her whole body is shaking... call the doctor, please!"
My blood froze.
"Elise...." I gasped, already running toward the nurses' station. Adrian sprinted beside me, both of us shouting for help.
The nurses moved quickly, already grabbing their tools and calling for backup. In less than a minute, they were flooding into Elise's room, wires, machines, vials, everything in hand.
We waited outside. I paced. Adrian sat down, his hands clenching and unclenching. Felix just stood there, staring at the door like he could somehow will it to open and give him better news.
And then... it did.
