The next couple of days were pretty normal by the standards of a god. The hospital was shocked that the valium was out of the kids' system. They had to draw blood several times to be sure. In the end, they chalk it up to messed-up lab reports.
Emilia woke up the following afternoon after they were admitted. She was crying and apologizing to me and Duncan, telling me that everything was her fault. If only she did not let Eva inside the house.
I had to explain to her that things could have been worse. Worse in the sense that she could have died. That sobered her up. When she asked about Fujin, I called the hospital where he was, and they talked.
That was three days ago. All of us were now at the main house sharing an afternoon meal. Hana, the youngest of Mike's siblings, arrived home after being overseas for more than a month. She was one of the few female pilots who were known in the Philippines.
