Chapter 18 Saving Emma

• Leaving the hospital, Huxley made a beeline for the holistic pharmacy nestled across the street, intent on securing medication for Emma. Now aware that she was his biological daughter, he was naturally resolute in his commitment to her well-being. His mission was to concoct a potent elixir to hasten Emma's recovery and facilitate her swift departure from the hospital.
• With meticulous care, Huxley labored over the ingredients in the pharmacy using their tools, devoting nearly two hours to the alchemical process, transforming them into a potent liquid form. Emerging from the store clutching a vial of the potent brew, his attention was immediately drawn to the sight of Rexanne cradling Emma at Harmony Hospital's entrance. A shadow passed over his face, his gaze sharp with an icy determination as he swiftly closed the distance between them.
• Surveying their condition, he swiftly grasped the severity of the situation. Rexanne appeared drained, her disheveled state and bloodstained lips hinting at a violent encounter. Emma lay still, her pallor unnaturally ghostly, blood marking the corners of her mouth. Her breaths were shallow and erratic, teetering on the brink of oblivion.
