Chapter 316 316: Unexpected News

Lyla

I came awake groaning with pain. Every muscle in my body ached, and a sharp, stabbing sensation radiated from my chest. Instinctively, I tried to sit up.

Strong hands immediately clamped down on my shoulders, urging me back onto the bed. "Lie still, Lyla. You'll tear the stitches."

I blinked, trying to focus on the face hovering over me. It wasn't Nanny, but her friend, the Wise Woman. "Terra?"

She nodded, adjusting something on the IV drip attached to my arm. "You've been unconscious for two days."

"Two days?" I tried to sit up again. "I need to go help them fight!"

Terra shook her head firmly. "No. The fight is over. The Ferals all retreated after you fell."

The memories of the fight flooded back—the battle, the strange encounter with Nymeris, the blue flames erupting from my hands, and then... Cassidy and her blade piercing through my chest.

At that moment, I felt agitated. I sat up despite Terra's protests and reached for the IV in my hand, intent on pulling it out. "I need to find Nathan and that snake, Cassidy. She attacked me. She's working with him."

"You need to forget about all that, at least for now," Terra said with a gentle but firm tone "Besides, you cannot leave this room. Your mother locked the door from outside to make sure you rest properly."

"Bullshit," I muttered, swinging my legs over the side of the bed. I pushed Terra aside and tried to stand.

The moment my feet hit the floor, the room spun violently. My vision swam, colours blurring together as vertigo hit me. I collapsed back onto the bed with a heavy thump, clutching my head and groaning.

"What was that?" I gasped when the spinning finally slowed.
