From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 443

Sam came in holding an oral syringe and showed Laurinda how to use it. With Laurinda and Seraphina working together, they managed to get the warm medicine into Adolphus without much trouble.

Sam watched from the side, his eyes widening when he saw Adolphus swallow. “He’s swallowing it. Look, he can actually swallow,” he said, sounding both surprised and relieved.

Kendrick, who’d been watching Sam get all worked up, patted him on the back and gave him a look that said, Are you serious? He said in a lazy drawl, “Of course he can swallow. He’s in a coma, not gone.”

Immediately, Sam got two dramatic eye-rolls. He touched his nose, embarrassed, and looked away. Maybe he’d gotten a little too excited.

Once the medicine was done, it was already late. Seraphina and Kendrick headed out of the hospital. Sam wanted to stay behind, but Laurinda wouldn’t let him.

“You really don’t need to spend the night here. I’ve got it covered. Go home and get some rest.”

After Sam left, Laurinda locked the hospital room door, grabbed her clean clothes, and headed for the bathroom. After a shower, she slipped into bed beside Adolphus, told him goodnight out of habit, then closed her eyes and drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

The next morning, the specialists showed up with Balaam. They checked on Adolphus, then Balaam did another round of acupuncture.

Laurinda was much calmer this time. She sat out in the hallway, flipping through her textbook, determined not to waste a single minute.

She heard footsteps echoing down the corridor, so she looked up and spotted York walking over. Closing her book, she raised an eyebrow at him.

“You made it?”

“Yeah, and I brought some good news. Take a look.”
