Tears streamed down Thalassa's cheeks, her breath shaky and suffocating. Her mind was spinning with the doctor's words.
Lysander had sustained a severe head injury and needed to be transferred to another hospital urgently, or his life would be in danger.
She had thought it was just excessive blood loss, but the situation was far more grave.
Her grip on Richard's arm trembled as she parted her lips to speak, but overwhelming grief choked her words; her heart and throat felt stuffed with cotton; she couldn't utter a single word.
After the initial shock, Zephyr managed to compose himself, though his hands shook as he pulled out his cell phone. He looked calm, but his entire body trembled as he dialed Dr. Everest. "Fire up your jet and come to Hollowbrook County Hospital. We need to transfer Lysander to your facility. It's a head injury—bring your best gear and make it fast!"
Once he hung up with Dr. Everest, he called his security team.
With a trembling but authoritative voice, Zephyr commanded, "I need ten choppers here pronto, and bring ten teams to secure Lysander's transfer back to Starhaven!"
As Zephyr finished his orders, four little munchkins followed a nurse out of the emergency room. The kids had their sleeves rolled up, revealing chubby arms with tiny needle marks. They pressed cotton balls against the small punctures on one arm.
Their little faces were streaked with dried tears, their usually lively expressions now tinged with fatigue and sorrow. Their youthful eyes glanced at Zephyr before searching the crowd for Thalassa.
Upon seeing Thalassa supported by Richard, their sorrowful eyes seemed to brighten momentarily as they toddled toward her.
"Mommy!"
Zephyr, still trembling, looked deeply and hopefully at the children. He was about to say something to them when they brushed past him and ran straight to Thalassa.
His hopeful gaze turned to one of loss and pain, his eyes darkening with bitterness and anger as he watched Thalassa.
This woman not only had put Lysander in a hospital bed, his fate uncertain, but she had also forced his children to donate blood at such a young age.
Did she even have a heart?
