Chapter 173
Aaliyah
The next morning, I sat with Lucian on his sickbed. There was no sign that he was going to wake up soon. He had grown so pale, and the circles around his eyes were so dark. It made me wonder if he was going to survive this before we lifted the magic from him.
"Lucian," I whispered, hoping he would wake up soon. "You need to wake up."
His eyes were closed, and he made no movement. Slowly shaking my head, I turned around when the door opened and stood up to see Hayley walk inside the room with Kieran in her hand.
I quickly hurried to her.
Her eyes fell on Lucian, and she frowned.
"I hate that he won't wake up before we're gone," Hayley said.
"We will take care of him," I said. "And after the challenge, we'll find a way to lift the spell."
She sighed.
I smiled brightly as I stared at Kieran. His eyes were brimming with tears, almost as if he knew he was leaving.
