136 Take Everything

For the entire night, Kade nursed her back to health. The Imperial Doctor prescribed herbal tonics to heal her from the inside out. 

Because it was too dangerous to feed her when she was unconscious, the doctor had prescribed bundles of herbs to be burned in the room, so the smoke could be inhaled by her. He even had her hands and feet dipped in the tonics, so that she'd be gradually warmed up.

"Leave us," Kade said to everyone in the room, which consisted of the doctor and Sebastian.

"Except you," Kade told Isabelle. 

Kade never allowed Lina out of his sight, except once. It was only when Isabelle came in to change her out of the wet clothes, dry her body, and then Kade lowered her into the bathtub. He held her in the water, preventing her from drowning.
