Chapter 0086

Cara's POV

I'm pushing the thoughts of Alaric far from my mind as I head to the hospital.

I need to focus. I'm here for Mia. She needs me,

Ruby greets me at the door, and I can see the stiffness in his shoulders immediately.

"We need to talk," my best friend tells me as she guides me to a small table and chairs in the corner of the lobby.

"Is Mia okay?" I ask, my concerns growing at the sight of her. This can't be good.

The treatments are working for her symptoms, but they aren't doing anything about the underlying cause. Ruby's lips come together in a tight line as she continues, "In other words, they aren't any closer to a cure. And every day that passes... every idea that doesn't work... I'm starting to worry..."

"I was afraid of that," I say to her softly, reaching out to pat her shoulder. "What can we

"I'm going to do some more reading... there's got to be something we can use... something that can spark an idea..." Ruby's eyebrows knit together in deep concern.

She loves Mia nearly as much as I do. We're both so worried about the little girl. The doctors have been trying so hard, dedicating so many resources to trying to save my daughter from becoming feral. There's got to be a cure. There just has to be.
