"Oh, forget it. None of the Southstream's healers could help." Helen trailed off and quickly corrected herself when she realized she had misspoken. "I mean, it's very serious, and most of the healers insisted she needs the drakeroot."

Frank smiled. "I treated your grandfather when he was on death's door too. I should at least try."

Helen looked up right then, her heart welling up with emotion.
