Chapter 72: LENA IS MARRIED

—Jeremy—

The doctor comes in to check in on Elijah. "You're out of the woods for now, but you still have to get some rest and take it easy, your body has been through a lot. And even though you're a shifter, it's going to take you a while before you're back to full strength." The doctor tells Elijah and the look on his face says he doesn't like that news one bit.

And if I hadn't gotten here in time you would have…" She tells him and tears start streaming down her face as she tries to compose herself.
