Chapter 23

sylvie woke up in an hospital room, Kage seated beside her bed.

She couldn't remember much. But she knew she'd passed out in the car, or partially passed out.

She could remember being held close by someone, by Kage? She remembered the words "you'll be fine Hell, no. There was no way that had been Kage.

Groaning, she sat up as well, her hand going over her head. She felt a lot better, but her head still ached.

Sylvie swallowed hard, her heart sinking into her stomach.

"Something like what?" She tried to hide her nervousness.

"I don't know, but you didn't have any complications from the miscarriage, did you?"
