Aiden returned to his unit and immediately felt something was off. The place was too quiet. Carmila had reverted back to being Amaela, and it seemed she was knocked out on the couch.
Aiden walked up to her and poked her cheeks, but there was no reaction.
"Yup, she's out cold," he mumbled, going to the other rooms.
He didn't have to look for long to find Alisha and Lily. The little one was asleep, while Alisha was next to her, watching her silently.
"Something on your mind?" Aiden asked, leaning against the window frame.
"…I'm worried about her," Alisha sighed. "I can't believe James would do something like this. I mean, how could he? As if this world wasn't messed up already, now Lily would have to be fatherless—"
"And who decided that?"
"What do you mean?" Alisha asked, turning to look at him.
Aiden pushed off the door frame and walked inside, before kneeling at Lily's side of the bed. Then he reached out and ran the back of his fingers gently along her cheek.
