Victoria’s POV
Cadmus...the doors opened, and the doctor walked up to me.
He’s resting. His injuries are serious, but he’s tough. You have five minutes with him before I put him into a coma so he can heal.
I couldn’t breathe, as the floor had vanished under me. Fear gripped my chest, cold and sharp, but guilt was even worse. This was all my fault. I hoped this would help him recover, but my hands still shook at the thought of losing him, even for a little while.
I walked in and took his hand. Daddy, I’m sorry. This is all my fault. Please forgive me. I kissed his forehead.
Cadmus was sitting down, waiting for me.
You need stitches, I said, looking at his deep wound.
I’m fine, this is nothing, really.
I pulled him to the nurses’ station. They tried not to stare as they began stitch
