Chapter 124: Incised (2)
It seemed as if his crumbling soul was clashing with something trying to mend its wounds. I had a strong feeling that he shouldn’t continue sleeping here.
I brushed away the snow that was starting to accumulate on his cheeks again and shook him.
“Liam, wake up. We need to go home.”
His eyelids still wouldn’t open.
Damn it, what should I say? What words would make this ice-cold man open his eyes?
If I can’t wake him, it’s over. Not only will I be unable to leave, but Liam’s seizure won’t subside either.
The people of Greenwich have no way to wake Liam, nor can they calm him down. So what will happen? They’ll probably forcibly seal off the room to prevent Liam’s power from leaking out. Herschel Hopkins cares deeply for his godson, but he loves the world more.
That would mean Liam’s death.
This can’t happen. After all the effort I’ve put in, after everything I’ve done to keep this man alive. I couldn’t let him die here. I don’t care what happens to me. Death? I’m not even afraid of it. But not this man.
