Talia found Axel in the infirmary. He was in the room with Sophia and Isaac, who were lying on hospital beds.
Talia opened the door to hear Isaac talking.
"Stop treating your parents like villains. Why are you acting like we did something? Do you believe we will harm our grandkids?"
"You had no problems getting rid of your niece!" Axel hissed.
"This is different," Sophia said. "We are different. Instead of shouting at us, you should…"
Sophia's voice trailed, and Axel turned to the door to see what got his attention.
"Talia!" Axel cried. "Yasmin is gone. My kids…"
"Calm down," Talia said while giving Axel a hug. She released a bit of her aura to envelop him with the goal of soothing his mind.
"Take a deep breath. We won't figure this out if we give in to panic. Yasmin is a smart and capable witch with an awesome ability, and she won't be easily bullied." Talia waited for Axel to take several deep breaths, and then she asked, "Tell me what happened."
