"You have to be careful. She's still deeply traumatized-not just from the accident, but possibly from the way your people kidnapped her here. That whole experience would have added to her distress. So you need to tread lightly. Be very, very careful."
"But I was careful. I was only holding her hand...", the man said slowly as he looked down at the frail woman sleeping on the bed but the doctor cut him off slowly, "That may be, but you can't risk doing anything that might unsettle her. Right now, her blood pressure is dangerously high, Cadance. It's not safe- not for her body, and certainly not for her brain. There's still some residual swelling, and if the pressure continues to rise, it could cause a blood vessel to rupture. A burst artery in the brain would be catastrophic."
Cadance's jaw tensed, but he nodded. "I understand. I'll be careful. I promise."
