Chapter 38: A Shocked Reaction

Greer rushed to Lily's side to examine her wound. "Help me set her down," he instructed Penelope, who also rushed to Lily's side. Still dazed by Gavin's assault, Lily allowed herself to be lowered down to sit on a box.

"Take a deep breath," Greer said, dabbing at the wound with a cotton handkerchief he pulled from his pocket. "Do you feel dizzy?"

"Nothing," Lily managed to answer. Overwhelmed by the shocking events of the morning, she no longer felt anything. Her mind had shut down.

"Look!" Penelope cried, pointing to Lily's shoulder as the flesh began to close. Within seconds, it completely healed without a scar. Lily watched without any reaction. Greer took her wrist and checked her pulse.

"It won't be long," he gently told Lily. "There's still VampirX circulating in your bloodstream for now, but there's no telling how long it will take to break down. My guess is a day or two at most."
