Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 30

*****Erika's POV*****

"W-what?" My voice was low and somewhat hopeless.

"That's what he said." Jace was struggling not let me see his true broken emtions. It was hard for him too. We both loved father and he loved us too. There was not a day that passed he did not give Jace and I more reasons to love him.

He was strict and principled when need be. And he was sweet and wonderful when we needed him to be too. It only broke my heart more knowing someone or a group of people out there wanted to hurt him so bad.

"Can we ask the doctor if he'll survive it?" I wanted to know, I badly wanted to find out.

I nodded. "Yes."

He put me down but I still clung to him, and he let him. He put his arm around me. The doctor was still staring at us, his expression somber and sympathetic.

"What is not good?" I gulped fearfully, holding onto Jace tighter. He was family and he was here, he was not poisoned. I still had someone to call family.

"His survival rate, we are not sure. Just as your brother had told you, most of his organs had been ruined by the poison before he was brought here. We have been able to extract the ones we could but some had mixed with his blood and other vital places. I'm trying to see how I can extract the rest without ending his life."

it would not have posed this much threat."
