Chapter 101 ~ A birth mark

ATHENA

The Loud sound of an ambulance reaches my ears as I step out of the hospital. My shift just ended and I'm beat.

"His airway's compromised. We need to intubate," lan barks, but there's a hesitation in his eyes as he glances toward me like he knows how badly this is affecting me.

"Get the three of them out of here!" He barks the orders and before we know what's going on, doors are being shut in our faces although no one dares to touch Alex, his anger is enough to keep one at a distance.
