Helanie:
"We've been so worried about you. We wanted to come see you, but no one would tell us which hospital you were at," Lucy said, holding my hand tightly, as she had since I arrived. I'd returned after a week. My injuries have healed, but the mental stress has only added to my concerns.
"I'm much better now," I replied, not wanting to tell her that I'd actually been at my stepbrother's farmhouse. I've learned not to trust anyone with my secrets. If my stepbrothers hadn't shared my location, I probably shouldn't either.
After Emmet explained the plan, he was asked to leave to handle some academy issues, leaving me alone at the farmhouse with the doctors and nurses. The new medical team was quite decent, making sure my comfort was their top priority.
This morning, a warrior escorted me to the shelter. I'd heard they were resuming the examinations today.
