~Zayn's POV~
I chuckled softly, relief washing over me. "You are welcome, baby."
I gently stroked his hair, waiting for him to pull back.
When he finally did, I asked softly. "Do you want anything at all? Food? A long bath?"
Evric chuckled softly, his arms warm around me. "You are welcome, baby."
He gently stroked my hair, waiting for me to pull back. The safety I felt in his embrace was instant relief from the day's terror.
When I finally did, he asked softly, "Do you want anything at all? Food? A long bath?"
I shook my head. "I'm not hungry, Daddy. I'm fine." The adrenaline was gone, replaced by bone-deep exhaustion.
He said he was fine too. We only took a quick shower together, and then we went straight to bed, needing nothing but rest.
We went back to the hospital first thing the next day. Seeing Liam awake and laughing gave me the strength I needed.
The doctor confirmed Liam was fully recovered. The allergic reaction had subsided, and he was ready for discharge.
