Chapter 64: I WILL NOT GIVE MY LOYALTY TO YOU
"Oh, no!" Grace gasped, as she started panicking. "She is not breathing!"
On the other hand, Hanna was crying. She sat down in a corner of the room, hugging herself. She couldn’t stop crying no matter what. Amee and Grilla approached her to console her, yet she was inconsolable right now.
"Please... please, save her..." Hanna whimpered, with her eyes fixed on Iris’ bloodied face. No... they said she was not breathing now.
"This will not do," Ardand mumbled. He narrowed his eyes. "I can’t get her."
Ardand and Grace tried their best to make Iris start breathing again, but to no avail. Her body was still warm and her heart was still beating, only it grew weaker by the minute.
"Grace!"
Grace could only let go of Iris’ hand as she started to blow air into her mouth before proceeding to do chest compressions, because she knew healing magic could only do so much to help Iris.
She was so desperate to make Iris breathe again, as if her life was hanging on a thread. She wouldn’t be able to live her life without apologizing to her and thanking her for everything that she had done.
She herself saw the whipping marks on her back the last time she treated her, thus she could imagine what kind of pain that she had to go through when Iris helped them, but they hated her so much without knowing about it.
========================
"People are still trying to know what happened to her," Ethan said, as he stared at Iris’ sleeping face. "They won’t stop coming to wish her well either."
