Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

47. A Great Shift

AURELIA

~<>-

The twist began the second I stepped foot in the hospital and with Kyle's mask falling off even before we got there but I didn't pay attention to that. I was more worried about Katie caring about a mask or even about Raiden finding out that he was their biological father. However, it was only a matter of time before I regretted that.

"Aurelia. You're here." Raiden had said to me when he saw me dash into the hospital waiting room.

At this point, Kyle's face was still hidden in my chest and I still hadn't noticed that his mask had fallen off.

"Where is my daughter? What happened to her?" My voice was barely a whisper. To my dismay, I caught sight of Raiden's bloodstained sky-blue shirt which made my legs weak. "Tell me that's not her blood."

I cried, shaking my head as fear gripped my heart, suffocating me.

"I'm sorry, Aurelia." Rather than tell me it wasn't Katie's blood on his shirt, he apologized, pushing me beyond my limit.

I broke into tears, holding Kyle tight but my son struggled to be freed from my hold after he heard about the blood. "I want to see her, Mama." Kyle whimpered and I put him down, still oblivious to his bare face. Gosh, I wasn't thinking.

Not until I faced Raiden, asking him, "Can we see her? What happened to her? Will she be okay?"

I asked him those questions because according to Nina, he brought her into the hospital and even though I hated him, I could vouch that he wouldn't have hurt Katie just to get back at me... not that he had any reason to get back at me.

"I found her in the forest. She was bleeding out but the healer said she'd be-" Raiden started answering my questions but his tongue froze the second he let his eyes fall on Kyle's face... and fuck did I hear him inhale sharply.

"What did the healer say?" I questioned impatiently, looking around the waiting room to see if there was
