"What do you mean you're going alone?" I got worked up, causing too much tension in my abdomen. A sudden electrifying pain momentarily halted my movement.
Aidan shot me a look and said, "See? You'll slow me down if you tag along."
"But you're unwell," I protested, turning to Persephone and Nadia to help me out.
Nadia looked down before speaking, "You're right, he's not well, and the formula might hold the key to solving this problem."
I clicked my tongue, finding nothing to refute it. I cursed myself for letting Aidan beat me up this badly.
If only I were in better shape to retrieve the formula. If only I had held on better... If only I had the guts to strike his neck like Scipio did before he crushed me...
Aidan's face was pale. As he kept his health issues to himself, I wasn't sure how much pain he was enduring. What if he went alone to Zone A, and something happened? Who would help him?
