Back in the bedroom, she leaned over him. "Wake up... Victor, wake up." He cracked one dazed eye open and looked at her-but only for a second before drifting off again. Tessa's heart sank. If this fever doesn't break soon, something serious is going to happen. "Aaagh-!" She could scream.
If only she'd agreed to let Stella take her to the Dawson family when she had the chance. How scary could Evelyn be, really? She helped raise Stella. It couldn't have been that bad.
