Chapter 59: Memories

Foster was moving quickly, worried about Kassandra's condition despite the fact that the bond between them made him feel she was doing quite well, and Lïanna was following close behind.

He and she hadn't exchanged a word during the journey. There was no need.

As they passed through the door of the medical room, Foster froze for a moment.

Kassandra was awake.

Lying on the silk couch, her gaze riveted to the ceiling, she seemed... lost.

It wasn't just the fatigue of a long coma. It wasn't just the pain still tugging at her body.

No.

Something inside her was broken.

- Kassandra...

His voice startled the young woman, who slowly turned her head towards him. Her azure gaze was veiled by a glint he didn't know.

A glint of doubt.

Of fear.

Lïanna stepped forward, crossing her arms and watching Kassandra attentively.

- You're awake. How do you feel?
