Chapter 96: The Shadow

• I just woke up in the middle of the night. They had given me sedatives but they had begun to wear off. Troy was sitting in the chair beside me. He was half asleep but, the minute that I sat up, he sat up too. He looked at me excitedly and began to call for the doctor.
• As soon as the doctor arrived, the first question that I asked him was, 'Is my child alright?”
• “You can relax,” the doctor laughed. “Your baby is as fit as a fiddle.”
