Lila woke up feeling uncomfortable all over. Her impatience drained more energy than she anticipated. Fortunately, Ian was around when she opened her eyes.
She had felt it the second she lost touch with them. Although she made the decision herself, it still caused her pain.
Her sleep wasn't entirely peaceful either. The second she fell unconscious, she was exposed to both Kai and Zander's pasts.
Unlike before, she witnessed their joys and sorrows. Kai's life wasn't considered as bad as Zander's. The wizard's life was as painful as hers had been.
She saw his struggle to survive. Although she couldn't forgive him just yet, she understood his actions better. She now knew why the 'mad scientist' always claimed that he was helping the children.
Of everything she saw, something took the spotlight. A perfect image of Zander passed out on Kai's body. That, she was certain was something recent.
