Chapter 83

Axton POV

“How is she?” Marco asks, jolting me from my thoughts as I stare at Elena in the hospital bed. A breathing tube is down her throat. Her skin is deathly pale. Marco’s blood barely kept her alive long enough to get her to the hospital. Doctors have been trying to figure out why she hasn’t woken up and isn’t healing entirely. Leaning back in the stiff blue chair, I peer up at Marco and shake my head.

“No change, it’s been hours, and she still can’t breathe on her own, yet her lung has healed, no punctures, and the bleeding around her heart stopped. They said she’d be dead if you hadn’t given her your blood. The screwdriver was the only thing stopping her from bleeding out before we got to her.” I tell him.

“Lab results haven’t returned yet?” Marco asks, and I sigh, shaking my head.

Luke steps into the room, his eyes widening when he sees his sister before rushing toward her. Jumping to my feet, I grab him before he reaches her, locking my arms around his shoulders.

“She’s okay. She’s alive,” I whisper, kissing his temple. He nods his head slowly, his eyes locked on his sister.

“I can’t lose her, too,” Luke whispers.
