CHAPTER 27: From one emotion to the other...

Celeste

I leave Daddy with Randol and head out of the infirmary to find Mr. Woods. I didn't have to go far. He is sitting in a chair about four feet from the door. "Mr. Woods, how are you doing?"

"To be honest, Celeste, I'm terrified. How is Randol?"

"He lost a lot of blood, but I was able to stop all of it. He had some pretty serious injuries. It will take a while for him to recover, but the shifter genes will help now that the lacerations are closed. He should make a full recovery, as long as he will rest and give his body time to heal."

Before I get the last words out he is moving toward me, and throws his arms around my back. "Thank you so much. I don't know what I would have done if you weren't here. I owe you so much." I hug him back and try not to cry.
