Chapter 21

“Where’s Ronan?” Felix asked. “Is he okay?”

“He’s fine, son.” Tom put his hand on Felix’s shoulder as he had with Ronan earlier. The warm pressure was reassuring. “He had things to attend to.”

Felix nodded.

“Now, we’ve got to get to work. If you’ll excuse us?”

“Do you need anything?” Felix was desperate to be of some use.

After assuring Felix that they had everything they needed, Felix when inside to update Lorcan. Their wait for the vet’s return was much shorter this time, but just as tense. When Tom once again let himself into the kitchen, he was peeling off a pair of rubber gloves and flashing a weary smile. “Meds are on board. It’s just a waiting game at this point.”

“What are we supposed to do now?” Felix asked.

“All there is to do is to wait and hope. Give them as much water as possible, but otherwise leave them be. No further medications or supplements at this time. Their livers need a chance to rest.”

“Got it,” Felix said.
