Layla's POV

Immediately we got to the safe house , Xander drove into the compound parked at a corner and we all got down, I walked over and assisted Jake's wife as she limped all the way to him , she already lost a lot of blood.

Xander had already informed them to get a nurse before we got there, we took a long passage before finally getting to where we were going.

Xander pinched in the security code and we all walked in.

"Emily," Jake called immediately as we got in ,rushing to his wife.

"Jake," she whispered weakly.

"Please bring her over here" the nurse said immediately and he helped her to lie on the bed she was pointing at.

"Mom, Dad," he called, hugging his parents.
