Chapter 295: Circle of Life

Queen Isla's lips parted in an 'O', but her hand quickly flew to cover it. Her eyes were wide in shock as she looked at Shadow. 

Olivia followed her mother's gaze and saw Shadow for herself. "Shado—" Olivia wasn't able to finish Shadow's name.

Blood pooled inside Shadow's mouth that when she opened it, thick crimson streamed down on each corner.

"No, no, no!" Olivia hysterically cried. She rushed closer to Shadow's side, catching her in a hug.

Scanning Shadow's body, Olivia located the gunshot wound and found it on the right side of her back. 

"Just hang in there, okay?" Olivia begged. She pressed her hand on Shadow's open wound to keep more blood from gushing out.

She had a feeling Shadow's lung was punctured during their escape, and the adrenaline masked the pain that she didn't notice she was shot.

"Go," Shadow managed to speak before slumping on the floor when she couldn't pull her own weight.
