Chapter 146
Julie's Point of View

I tried to gather my shattered self, slowly sitting up, feeling my body as if it were a piece of lead.
The doctor was watching me, and the moment she saw my movement, she rushed toward me: "Rest, Julie... don't get up now."
I said in a parched, dry voice: "I'm fine."
She reassured me as she checked my features: "I ran the tests; you have no fractures."
"I know," I replied coldly.
She continued, noting something in her file: "You were crying hysterically, and I had to give you a strong sedative to calm that seizure."
None of that mattered. My mind was jammed in one corner. I asked her sharply: "Max... where is he?"
She hesitated before answering: "You mean the guard?"
"Yes," I said impatiently, "where is he?"
