Chapter 18: Dr's Visit Pt. 1

Zayde's Point of View

My wife Francis and I were just finishing our breakfast. She was heading back to the palace to manage the hospital, and we didn't get much time to spend together.

It was small since werewolves didn't get sick that much, though they could get injured or have cancer. Cancer was nasty because our metabolisms were so fast.

It gave us superhuman strength and healed us quickly, but it could also kill us just as quickly when it came to cancer.

There was also a research centre researching the effects of Aconite, otherwise known as wolf's bane. While it is quite a pretty flower, it is toxic to most species, especially werewolves. It can seriously harm the heart, muscles and nerves.

As well as being the chief surgeon, Francis oversaw this research to devise an antidote in case of poisoning. It was a rather nasty poison. As much as I miss spending time with her, her job was essential. I would savour these moments together.
