Chapter 71

I heard the whirl of the machines first. Taking deep breaths, the smell of bleach and antiseptic hit my nose and physically recoiled from the smell. Squeezing my eyes shut, I tried to remember where I was, what was I doing. Max, kissing me. Morgan finding out. Then the rush came. Morgan almost killing Max. Taking away Morgan’s attention. Max taking me to a hospital of some sort. Then Micah. The machines started to beep faster and I remember his touch, his words. He took it away, he managed to take everything I had left. Reaching up, I touched my hair that now was just below my jaw. Burying my face in my hands, I cried.

“Well, took you long enough to wake up. Been out for two days.”

I growled.

“Now see here pup! We don’t normally serve your kind here, so you better be happy we didn’t just toss you out. The only reason your here is because Max looked like he was going to collapse and you’re Morgan’s daughter.”<
