Chapter 21 The Mastermind

　　Caitlyn's POV

　　I snapped out of the accident as a massive wave of exhaustion washed over me.

　　Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my belly and then collapsed, clutching my abdomen.

　　"Caitlyn!"

　　Before losing consciousness, I saw Talon running toward me, his face filled with worry.

　　In a daze, I heard someone continuously calling my name, as if I were lying on a moving stretcher, and Talon was pushing me down the hospital hallway.

　　"Clear the way! Clear the way!"

　　"What's happening?"

　　I heard a familiar voice shortly after, but no matter how hard I tried, my eyes wouldn't open.

　　"Uncle Taric, it's Caitlyn. She's been in a car accident. You have to save her!"

　　Leona pleaded with Taric, her voice trembling with tears and urgency.

　　"Uh, alright. I will."

　　After Taric calmly agreed, I felt Talon's tight grip on my hand relax slightly.

　　Sensing that I might be somewhat conscious, Talon whispered gently into my ear.
