Chapter 238
Jorick carried Katelina to the elevator. Though the guards gazed curiously, they didn't comment as he hauled her inside and let the doors slide shut.
The elevator rose and the atrium flashed into view through the glass walls. Katelina's head slowly cleared. The further they got from Malick and the prison cell, the clearer the world became - and the more aware she was of Jorick's fury.
"Jorick?"
He made a low noise in his throat.
The elevator stopped on the sixth floor and he carried her through the doors and down the corridor. They walked past an open front restaurant where several patrons stared openly, and then past a lounge to a door that said "Infirmary".
The room inside was tiled in white and smelled like disinfectant. Katelina couldn't see the woman who greeted them. "Can I help you?"
Jorick's words were tight and flat. "She was fed upon."
"Sign this and take her to room five."
