After she had woken up, Axel and Alice barely had a moment alone together as the doctors were amazed by how quickly Alice was recovering. They ran test after test to ensure that her healing was working and that there were no surprises.
Only one day after Bell’s blood had been introduced into her system and she was already almost entirely healed.
But it was clear to Axel that while she was not complaining or refusing any treatment or test, she was deeply uncomfortable in the hospital.
Ashleigh had told him about the first lab they had stopped in on their adventure, about the room that had belonged to Alice.

Axel asked that she be released from the hospital as soon as he got the chance. They would stay for a few days in Summer and do any follow-up testing required, but he wanted her to have some peace.
