By then, Lian's doctor had entered. Cassius immediately stepped aside but remained glued to Kendrick's bedside, watching every movement with hawk-like focus. Reynold did the same on Zephany's side, not even blinking as the doctor worked.
The doctor first examined Kendrick, checking his vitals, pupils, breathing, and responses. His brows furrowed for a moment, then gradually relaxed. He then moved to Zephany and conducted the same thorough examination.
Both Cassius and Reynold held their breath.
Finally, the doctor straightened, exhaling softly.
"They're doing well for now," he announced. "Their conditions look good. But to be sure, I'll still conduct more tests later."
Reynold immediately nodded. "Anything, just do what you need to."
Cassius nodded as well, though his relief wasn't enough to calm the dread twisting inside him. The doctor soon excused himself and left the room.
The moment he stepped out, Cassius followed.
"Doctor," he called sharply.
