“Not great,” Yvonne replied with a frown. “The burns cover too much of her body – infection is a huge risk. Mr. Gunn ordered me to monitor her IVs and keep her stable with anti-inflammatory drips for now. But honestly, she needs skin grafts as soon as possible.”

Worry lingered in her voice.

The extensive burns meant Natalie would need a large amount of skin replaced, and the surgery couldn’t be done all at once. On top of that, they needed a donor with a high skin match to reduce the risk of rejection – even then, the recovery would be long and agonizing. Painkillers could only do so much.
