Author's note: This is from Duke's point of view

I walked into my bedroom to find Serina lying on the bed. If not for the machines hooked up to her body, I would assume she was sleeping.
Maria was sitting on a chair next to the bed. Based on the pens and crossword magazines that were on the side table, I could assume that Maria was there for some time.
When Maria saw me, she bolted to her feet, to stand straight in attention.
"How is she doing?", I asked without removing my gaze from Serina.
"Madam suffered from internal injuries. Thanks to her quick healing rate, she survived, and her body is fine now but… she is not waking up.", Maria responded.
"For how long?"
"Three days."
I jabbed my hand into my hair. I had no idea how much time passed but I hoped it was less. Three days. Three fucking days!
