Chapter 252
Kyra's POV
My feet moved with silent, timid steps over the polished floor of the stark white hospital room. Stephanie lay completely still, submerged in a heavy, unnatural sleep on the narrow bed. I closed the distance between us, easing onto the edge of the mattress beside her. Extending a soft hand, I stroked my fingers through the loose red strands spilling across her pillow, whispering in a low, tender voice.
"Steph... sweetie?"
"She's totally unconscious... She can't hear you."
A sharp shiver racked my shoulders, and I spun around in surprise. Dr. Vincenti stepped into the room with slow, measured composure, both hands buried in the pockets of his crisp white lab coat. I drew my brows together, my lips trembling with silent anxiety.
"Is there any real hope for her recovery, Doctor?"
