Thankfully, Jameson quickly held her, saving her from a fall. “Lyse…”
A familiar voice echoed in the hallway. “Alice?”
She opened her eyes and turned slowly, only to be taken aback by what she saw.
Not far away, Jasper, looking stoic, wheeled Newton over to her. Newton looked astonished to see herat the hospital.
