“Hold out her arm and keep a firm grip on her, just in case she trashes in reaction. The healer advised and I did as she instructed.
I had met the healer waiting in the living room when I had walked into the mansion alongside the Beta and immediately she introduced herself. I had led her immediately to my room so she could check on Jessy
The woman had been mostly quiet, simply checking Jessy’s vitals, homming along whenever she did something or finished a check and writing some things onto her notepad.
“How old is she?” The older woman finally asked once she was done.
“She’s three.” I whispered, emotions coating my words.
The entire situation was still yet to fully crash on me. While Matthew and Jake had been discussing, a heavy sense of foreboding had overwhelmed my frame.
In the moment, I had truly thought that their plans would come to fruition and it would be the last time that I would see my daughter. The thought had scared me to my very bones but I had felt so helpless that I had already accepted my fate.
Being able to hold my daughter again in my arms felt so surreal and I wanted to keep holding her closely forever and never let her go.
“And you said she had been injected with sedatives?” The doctor asked and I nodded my head in response and it made the doctor sigh heavily, which in turn caused my heart to thump faster in my chest.
That sigh didn’t sound like anything good.
“She’s too young for sedatives at all but she’s going to be fine eventually. It’s a good thing she’s actually sleeping this long because she gets to sleep away most of the effects and when she wakes up she’ll be mostly fine. You just need to keep an eye on her and just be prepared for when she wakes up.”
“Is there anything I have to be worried about once she’s awake? Are there going to be any long term effects?” I asked.
That was my biggest fear, Jessy was currently very pale and although her heartbeat was returning back to normal it had been very faint at some point and I was worried about how all of these might be affecting her in the long run.
“Well no matter how long she sleeps, she’s still going to wake up with the effects of the drug still heavy on her mind that’s why you need to be close to her and keeping an eye out for her because soon as she’s up her body is going to want to get the rest of the toxicity out of her system. So there’s going to be a lot of puking, stooling and she’s a child too so prepare yourself for the irritation that would come with all of these.”
My heart hurt at the thought that Jessy was going to be in a lot of pain for a while and in this moment I wished I could switch bodies with my child and take on this pain for her.
The healer seemed to notice my sadness and hurt because she reached forward to take my hands in hers and offered me a
small smile.
“She’s going to be alright, you’ve got a very strong girl on your hands and she’ll be fine.” The healer said encouragingly and I returned her smile.
“Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it.”
“You’re welcome. I’ve going to leave some things for her, to make her feel better once she’s awake and make sure to keep her hydrated at every point, she might not be able to keep food down but she needs plenty of liquids. I’ll be here to check up on her again tomorrow.”

She pulled out three vials from her bag and left them by the small bedside drawer that demarated both beds, before slinging her bag over her shoulder and walking towards the door
At the door she gave me a small wave which I returned and she turned the knob and exited the room.
1 cradled Jessy in my arms and after a while exhaustion seemed to take over my mind and body and I fell asleep with my daughter held tightly in my arms.
