Rufus' POV:

I walked past Laura and Arron and went straight to Beryl's room. I opened the door and found her sleeping soundly on the bed.

According to the doctor, Beryl had used a lot of energy, but she would be fine as long as she had enough sleep. I sat on the edge of the bed and watched her sleep for a while.

In truth, I was expecting her to be awake by now. The encounter must have taken a great toll on her tiny body.

I had no idea how long I sat there, but soon, the door creaked open, and Laura walked in with Arron.

The little boy scrambled up the bed and peered at his sister. He held out his hand, then carefully poked her flushed cheek with his finger.

"Why is she not waking up?" Arron asked, looking up at me with worried eyes.

"Don't worry," I replied. "She's just sleeping. She needs to sleep a little bit more to recover." Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
