CHAPTER 23
W e get back to the manor and all head for the kitchen, but I stop Cam in the hallway. âDo you not want to go upstairs and then we can fix you up with you lying on the bed?â
Cam smiles down at me, touching my cheek with his good hand. âNo, babe, Iâm fine getting sorted out in the kitchen unless told otherwise.â
I look at him for a moment. âItâs a pack thing, isnât it? Something bad happens and you want to stay together.â
Cam nods. âPack and family.â
I lean in and kiss his good cheek. âOkay,â I say, taking his good hand and walking into the kitchen with him.
Everyone is there, including two people I donât know. They must be Elaine and the grumpy doctor.
Nora comes running over and flings herself into my arms. I drop Camâs hand and pick her up, hugging her to me. She leans back and looks at Cam, tears in her eyes.
âCam, the Doctor and Elaine are here to help you,â she says.
âSo I see,â Cam says, smiling at her and touching her back.
âCome and sit down, Cam,â Emily says while pulling a chair out for him, looking at her youngest son in concern.
âYes, hurry up,â the doctor says impatiently.
Cam walks to the chair and sits down with only a little groan.
I look at the doctor and see he appears to be in his thirties with short light brown hair and a medium build. I send my magic out to have a look at him and see what it can find. This is something Iâm now learning to do when I want to know something.
I sit down near Cam with Nora sitting on my lap. No one is talking as we are all concerned about Cam and his injuries.
The doctor steps forward, snapping some gloves on. âI need to see how badly your arms and side are. We need to remove your shirt and look at some of the burns. Itâs going to be painful.
I canât have that; I canât have my Cam in any more pain than heâs already in, so I think of his shirt vanishing without causing Cam any pain, and the next thing I know, the shirt has disappeared.
The doctor huffs. âThanks,â he says.
Cam looks at me and smiles. âThanks.â
âThe burns arenât as bad as I feared,â the doctor says after looking over Camâs burned side. âYouâre fortunate that these are second degree burns. I would recommend a warm compress without bursting the blisters, but Iâm sure the witches here will have something to say about that.â
âWe have balms that can help with burns,â Elaine tells him.
âMakes me wonder why this town even has a doctor,â the doctor replies, taking the gloves off.
âBecause there are humans in this town that rely on human doctors,â Alfred tells him gently.
The doctor looks at Alfred. âMost of them donât want to see me, either.â
âMaybe you should try smiling once in a while,â Alfred tells him.
âSmiling is overrated,â the doctor says, closing his bag.
