"Hospitalized?!" Amelia echoed, jolting up. Immediately, she regretted her decision, wincing in pain as every inch of her body yelled out in protest.
Matteo got out of the hospital bed as quickly as he had slipped in, frowning in Aiden's direction.
"What happened?" he demanded.
Aiden rolled his eyes. "Daddy dearest called. Said that he had a heart attack. He wants us to fly back to Solara now. You, especially, since you're the future son-in-law of the Hawthornes."
"Absolutely not," Matteo immediately refuted. "Amelia just woke up. She is in no position to travel."
"We have to, Matteo," Amelia spluttered. She hissed in pain but slowly got up anyway, careful not to overexert herself now that she had been burned once before. "If my grandfather is unwell, I ought to be there for him."
