Chapter Seventeen

Hope awoke on a bed of sorts. Braxton sat on one side of her and Joran sat on the other, each of them holding one of her hands. “Where am I?” She frowned as she tried to remember where she was.

A strange tingling sensation fluttered through her stomach as she sat up. Pulling her hands free, she rested them over her stomach. “I feel different. Why?”

“Carella said you were injured inside, and she repaired you.” Braxton moved to help her from the tall, cushioned table.

“She repaired me?”

“She healed you,” Joran said from her other side. “There was something wrong with your womb and you had some sort of vitamin deficiency.”

“Oh. Yeah. Vitamin B.” She stared at them for a moment, unable to believe she’d forgotten about her shots. “Look. I have to go home.”

“You are home now, Hope.”

She turned toward Joran. “You don’t understand. I have to have vitamin B shots every week. It’s something about my nerves getting damaged or my heart.” Hope tried to remember what the doctor had said, but could only remember that he had said her medication had made her vulnerable to the deficiency. “Crap!” She turned to face Braxton. “You have to take me back to the house!”

What in the world had she been thinking? Had she really been so blinded by the fact that these two uberhot men seemed interested in her that she’d forgotten her meds in her purse at their house?

“You don’t understand.” She grasped Braxton’s forearm. “I have medication I have to take. I could die without it.” Hope wasn’t sure how long it would take because her sugar wasn’t really all that bad…yet. However, she was supposed to take two pills a day and she’d left the bottle in her bag at the house. Or was it at their house? Did she have her purse there? She couldn’t recall. Why couldn’t she remember?

Joran moved to wrap his arm around her shoulders and drew her close. “Do not worry, little one.” He brushed a stray lock of hair from her face. “Carella has assured us that she has repaired your body.”

“Don’t think that I’m going to believe this nonsense any more now than I did before. Just because you managed to slip me some sort of hallucinogen again doesn’t mean that I’m ready to believe I’m no longer a diabetic. Going without my medicine could kill me, you know. If I die, you’ll be guilty of murder or at least involuntary manslaughter.”

Hope wasn’t sure about her claim, but she knew they would be responsible for her death. What charges could be levied against them would be a moot point as far as she was concerned if she was dead.

“You won’t die, Hope.” Braxton moved to press a kiss to her forehead. “I promise.”

Joran moved closer to tweak her nose. “Carella repaired your body, Hope. You are no longer a diabetic. Whatever illnesses you had are no longer an issue.”

How she wished that were true. Hope couldn’t imagine a machine
