172 Dedicated Husband

Adeline heard ringing in her ears, as the world began to spin, and she was choked by the air. She suddenly found it difficult to breathe, a panic attack making its way to her for the first time. 

Adeline heard her name being called in the distance, but it was futile. Her gaze could not leave the limp Asher. 

Asher was slumped on the ground, his face buried in the dirt, and she had sudden flashbacks of her parent's coffins being lowered into the ground. She opened her mouth, ready to scream, but someone roughly embraced her.

"Shhh… shhh, it's okay," Elias soothed, grabbing her tightly, blocking her line of sight with his body. 

Elias pressed her face into his chest, one hand on the back of her head, the other grabbing her shoulder. 

"He's alive," Elias muttered, just as she tightly grabbed onto his shirt. He didn't understand what the problem was, nor knew what was going on.
