Chapter Eleven
The other men left, giving Sebastian the privacy to take her clothes off and bathe her the best he could with a cloth. He was able to get the blood and sweat off her. He brushed her hair and dressed her in the sweatpants and t-shirt Cason brought to him.
When he straightened, over an hour had passed. He bandaged the cuts on her that continued to seep blood. He put away everything, took the towels from under her, laid her on the mattress, and covered her with a clean blanket.
He washed his hands and pulled a chair up close to the bed so he could see her. He was unaware he was crying until he felt the tears run down his face. He leaned forward, pressed his face into his hands, and cried until nothing was left. After wiping off his face, he leaned back, closed his eyes, and slept.
A hand on his shoulder awoke him. He looked up to see Cason and Carol, the counselor.
âHey, Iâm glad you could make it,â he said and straightened in the chair.
Carol walked to the side of the bed and stared down at Sage. âOf course. Cason told me what happened. You have no idea what set her off?â
Sebastian shook his head. âNot a clue.â
âShe was fine this morning,â Cason said.
Carol smoothed the hair from her forehead. âSomething had to have happened for that degree of extreme rage.â
Sebastian nodded.
âIâll head back down,â Cason said. âCall if you need anything.â
âThank you.â
Cason squeezed his shoulder. âThis will get resolved. Sheâs a strong woman.â
Sebastian heard the front door close before he asked, âWhat do we do now?â
âWe wait until she wakes up. I think itâs best not to have you in the room. If youâre part of what upset her, youâll do it again before we can find out what happened. Iâll let her know youâre here and worried.â
He nodded. âIâd like to stay here until she starts to wake up.â
âAbsolutely. Iâll just sit over here and read.â
âOkay. Thank you.â
His mind went over everything several times, hoping to remember anything that might have happened. He straightened when she started moving.
Carol came over. âWhy donât you go? Sheâll be awake in a minute.â
Sebastian nodded, stood, took one more look at Sage, and walked out.
For the next hour, he paced in the living room. He could hear them talking, but not the words, and Sage sometimes cried.
Finally, Carol came out with her bag. The look on her face was grim and just made him more anxious.
âWhat happened?â he asked.
Carol shook her head. âShe told me I could talk about it. Iâm happy about that because I want both those fuckers put away.â
âWho?â
âHer father and fiancé. They were the ones that set her up to be abducted,â Carol said.
He was more than shocked and couldnât fathom why anyone would do that, especially to their own family. He was going to do everything in his power to convict the two. Heâd pull in every favor if he had to.
âD ⦠does she know why?â he asked.
