Chapter 38 Finally Awake

Andrew POV

My heart clenched painfully when I saw the fear in her eyes. My legs moved on their own, and before I knew it, I was standing next to her bed, cupping her face.

“You are safe, Emma.” I said, looking at her wide eyes. “She can’t hurt you anymore.”

The fear in her eyes turned to confusion. I furrowed my eyebrows. Why was she confused?

“You didn’t believe her?” she asked quietly as she removed my hands from her face.

My heart broke when she rejected my touch. She hated me. My sister hated me. I gulped and blinked the tears away.

“I will let you talk.” Wren said, making me look at him. “I will be back later to do some tests. Call me if anything happens.”

I nodded and turned back to look at Emma. She was still looking at me, confused. I hesitatingly took her hand in mine. I was so fucking scared that she would pull away. But she didn’t. I relaxed slightly.

As soon as Wren left the room, Logan came to stand on the other side of her bed. She looked at him, furrowing her eyebrows.

“Hello, love.” Logan said as he sat down in a chair next to her bed. “I missed you so fucking much.”

He took her other hand in his and kissed it. She shivered at the touch.

“I am so sorry, Emma.” I started talking. “I am a terrible brother. You were telling me about her all along, and I never believed you. It is my fault that this happened to you.”

I buried my face in my hands, letting out a quiet sob. I really was a terrible brother. She almost died because I was stubborn.

I felt Emma pulling on my hands, removing them from my face. I looked at her and saw tears in her eyes.

“It wasn’t your fault, Andrew.” she said, taking my hand in hers. “Please don’t blame yourself.”

I sobbed and pulled her to me carefully. I wrapped my arms around her small frame and buried my nose in her hair.
