Chapter 19

The events after that are a blur. I vaguely remember being carried to the infirmary, panting and sweating from the pain. I’m pretty sure it was Dante who met us at the door, barking orders with the doctor shuffling behind him, but after I was given the anesthesia I was out.

When I woke up, I felt groggy and disoriented. The infirmary’s white light was too harsh and too bright too soon. I moan as my eyes adjust to the light.

“How long was I out?” I ask nobody in particular, but I feel that I’m not alone in the room.

I’m not surprised when I hear Hana’s voice reply, “Just an hour. The doctor is very skilled, she had you patched up in minutes.”
