章 238: Book 4 : Chapter 87

I woke in the soft sheets of my bed, slowly opening my eyes to see Max and Milly sat at my feet.

"Hey," Milly said softly, reaching for my hand.

I furrowed my eyes in confusion and looked down at the pillow as I tried to make sense of everything.

It was a few moments of blissful ignorance before I sat bolt upright.

"Luca," I said, "where is he?"

Max smiled and pushed me back down as I tried to stand up, "he's still in the hospital but he's alive and relatively stable."

"Relative?" I asked.

"He's in a coma. As you know, the wolf healing process doesn't trigger when unconscious so until he wakes up, we just have to hope that the human part of him is strong enough," he replied, "but they've stitched him up, given him a blood transfusion, kept his heart beating and his lungs breathing. The doctors didn't think he'd get this far but now they say so long as he wakes soon, he'll be fine."

I nodded, "so all we can do is pray to the Goddesses that he wakes up?"
