Leila did not regain complete consciousness for the next two days. She was a little lucid under the care of Saffron Storm, but she was like a broken doll. She could only be taken care of without autonomy.
Xavier was insufferable as he hovered over everyone taking care of Leila. He was an absolute nightmare to Sterling and Saffron, asking if Leila was alright even when he was beside her. His worry was valid, but he was getting on everyone's nerves.
Callum could not take it anymore even though he was not the one under pressure from Xavier. On Wednesday, he simply dragged Sterling out of his house to escape from the monster that had taken it over.
"Where are we going?" Sterling asked.
"Away from here," Callum answered. "If I hear Xavier asking you when Leila will recover one more time, I will kill him."
