Avery remembered waking up between sedation periods from time to time. Every time she cried out from the pain, she was given another dose of anesthesia to allow her some rest. For the longest time, sedation was her only way to switch off and rest.
One time, she woke up to a conversation between Ryan and his grandfather. They were talking about her in a low voice.
At that time, Ryan had not yet started practicing medicine. He healed Avery purely by using his supernatural skill, and it sadly failed to yield the desired result this time around.
Ryan's specialty was healing open wounds. It worked wonders for slits, slashes, and cuts, no matter the depth or the size.
Faced with a third-degree burn victim, he was quite helpless.
