CHAPTER 13: LION'S DEN

Lizzie's heart would not stop pounding even though they had already arrived at the emergency room of Clarke's Lake Hospital. Jerome was still unconscious, and he looked so pale he could be mistaken as already dead.

As soon as they entered him inside the operating room, Lizzie broke down on the floor. Her mascara ran down her face, and her hair had become messy. Cassie only sat by her side, hugged, and comforted her.

"I swear I will kill Frank once I see him again. I will study every book in my grandmother's shelves to learn how to kill an immortal like him," Lizzie said, then went back on crying.

"He didn't know what I am or what happened to Aria in the woods. He doesn't know anything," she sobbed. "But now, he's the one suffering."

Cassie only patted Lizzie's back to calm her down and stop her crying. She already knew what to do to save Jerome's life, but she couldn't do it with people around them.<
