CHAPTER 83

  Early the next morning, Ethan felt a soft tap on his shoulders and he startled. He looked up and saw Helen, smiling faintly at him. He didn't even hear her walk in to the room, where he watched Accalia.

  Ethan's eyes paled out from lack of sleep. The eyebags appeared and was dark from tears and grief. Throughout the night,he watched Accalia laying motionless hoping that she would even stir for once.

  "Please go get some rest, Ethan. I'll take it from here", Helen persuaded.

  "No..no..I'm sure you'll need my help. I'm fine,trust me", Ethan protested.

  "I'm sure you know by now that Accalia has been a friend turned sister to me. I cherish her as much as you do but please take some rest,let me also care for my friend", Helen said firmly.
