Chapter 94 Rage

ADALYN

When I awoke, my vision was blurred, and I couldn’t make sense of my surroundings, but I could hear the sound of someone softly crying.

I blinked a few times until finally, the shapes around me came into focus. My mother sat beside me, and the moment she realized I was awake, she grew

overjoyed.

“Oh, Adalyn!” she cried, and she threw her arms around me. “Oh, my sweet. darling girl, you’re awake!”

My voice caught in my throat, and her grip around me made me wince a little. My hand threw to my throat. Why did it ache?

I looked around, and much to my surprise, I realized I was lying in a bed in the medical ward. I’d only ever been here a handful of times in my life, but I recognized the cold, sterile atmosphere right away. All of the furnishings were a mixture of soft white and stark metal, and no matter how many flowers they placed on the bedside. tables, the ward was a far cry from homey.

What was I doing all the way down here?

My mother pulled away, and suddenly, it all began to hit me. My memories surged back in droves and my head began to hurt.

I’d been held hostage by that terrible man. He’d hurt me quite terribly with his sharp claws.

There was no blood on my fingers when I removed it from my throat, so clearly I was no longer in danger. I healed fast, always had.

My mother pulled away, and when she did, I noticed Marco was seated in the chair beside the bed. His face lit up immediately, and he rushed over to hug me.

“Mommy!” he cried as he squeezed my middle section. “Oh, Mommy! I was so worried. Do you feel okay?”

I squeezed him back and nodded.

“Yes,” I managed, and then I turned to Mother. Her expression was joyful as she studied us, and for a moment, I felt like things were going to be alright.

Then, another thought crossed my mind.
