Overwhelmed by shock, he fainted and had to be revived multiple times over the next three days.

Even after waking up, he couldn’t come to terms with reality. He refused to eat or undergo treatment, clearly resigning himself to dying.

Wren tried to persuade him but to no avail. In frustration, she threw the food into the trash and sat by his bed, crying. “Fine, don’t eat then. I’ll starve with Harrison turned his back to her as if he hadn’t heard.

After a long silence, Harrison finally nodded. “Alright.”

Wren quickly wiped her tears and went to prepare another meal, “Eat first. You need to keep your strength up until we find Nyla.”
