Chapter 222: Checking in on his girls
Given the chaos of yesterday, Kellen wasn’t sure what to expect when they went down to the Medical Bay. He knew it was usually a quiet place, but he wasn’t sure if it would be maintained into today.
He should have known better. Taylor wasn’t the kind of person who would let something like an assassination attempt ruin her peace and quiet.
The hallways remained quiet. It wasn’t in an eerie way, but in the way that this felt like a sacred place. Human voices shouldn’t be too loud in a place like this.
Rhys seemed to know where he was going, and Kellen didn’t question it. He assumed it had something to do with either power levels, or Rhys remembered what room they had been in yesterday. To Kellen, the doors all looked the same, and he had been quite tired the day before. He was lucky he knew what doors they used for guiding since they all looked the same.
Kellen knocked gently on the door when Rhys stopped in front of it, and it took a moment before a tired, weary-looking version of his Mom opened the door. A hospital bed and been wheeled into the room, and it was clear that it was untouched. Kellen frowned at her, and she gave a weak smile in return.
"Ah. You’re back so soon. It must be morning then." She said and Kellen wanted to shake her. He didn’t and instead shoved the items he had grabbed into her arms.
"Eat. We’re going to make sure that you do. If you don’t, I’ll tell Dad." He threatened, and she glanced at that large window before turning back to him with a small smile.
"Alright. Don’t rat me out. I’ll never hear the end of it." Kellen forced a smile before really taking a good look at her. He’d been so focused on everything else yesterday to really check on her.
She was not in a good condition. Her skin was pale, her eyes swollen and bloodshot. It was clear she hadn’t rested. And the clothes she was wearing were the same from yesterday, and also covered in blood. It wasn’t good, and Kellen was supremely worried.
