Chapter 273 Struggles

• Serena POV
• I wake up disoriented, my body heavy, my head thick with fog. My skin burns, hot and clammy, and the sheets feel suffocating. I shift, pushing them off me, but the second I move, nausea rolls through my stomach, sharp and relentless. My limbs feel weak, but there’s something else, something worse.
• Something is wrong, sitting up, my breathing is too fast, too shallow. My fingers dig into the mattress as I try to remember, where am I? My mind scrambles, but all I get are broken flashes. Dale. The cabin. The pills. The feeling of being pinned down. And then… nothing.
