“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.

And all of this… might’ve happened because her sister failed in her duty.

Natalie shouldn’t have had to go through this.
