Bellatrix Sinclair
Emmett’s touch lingers far longer than I expected before slipping away. He rises from the chair and turns around to face Lazarus with a curt bow. “No, My King. Bellatrix has just awoken, and I was informing her about Lila’s health to ease her mind.”
The atmosphere strained amid the silence warping around us, Lazarus’s gaze bouncing between us as he approached. Darkness blanketed his features in a way that was difficult to decipher, a permanent scowl etched on his face. “I think Bellatrix should be more concerned of her own health before worrying about others.” He contested in a smooth voice.
A stark contrast to the initial hostility he emitted seconds ago. “Of course.” Emmett responded, “I’ll take my leave.”
He spun to face me with a comforting smile that eased my tension in my body. “I’ll inform your doctor of your condition; he will come in to check your vitals in a few minutes.”
“Thank you for saving me, Emmett.” I smiled, expressing my gratitude.
