"Is this the last flicker before the end?" "What... what do we do now?"

Phineas, clearly losing his patience, snapped, "Come on, it's not like you just found out Norbert is dying. Why all the drama? Fletcher wants to see you. He's one of the top doctors in Rosefrost Hollow. Maybe he has a way to treat Norbert." Morwenna's head shot up. "Where's Fletcher?"

"I've had him taken to the drawing-room. Go on, and remember, don't say anything you shouldn't!"

Morwenna dashed towards the drawing-room, recalling how Fletcher had miraculously saved Jethro last time. Perhaps he could do the same for Norbert Hetfield.

In her haste, she forgot to knock and just burst into the room.

A few bodyguards positioned by Phineas stood at the door, tasked only with ensuring Fletcher didn't leave. They didn't stop Morwenna.

Bursting into the drawing-room, she immediately pleaded with the man sitting on the couch, "Dr. Vaughn, please, you have to save Norbert Hetfield!"

Fletcher studied Morwenna with a careful look. She had lost weight and looked exceptionally pale.

All the accusatory questions seemed to catch in her throat as Fletcher asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Wenna, how have you been lately?" Morwenna nodded quickly, "I'm fine, really, I am. Dr. Vaughn, with your skills, you must be able to save Norbert Hetfield, right?"

"I'm sorry."
