Kory rushes through the long hallways of the hospital, Galfore right behind her. A couple of the staff members move out of the way, some in shock to see the youngest daughter's appearance. She glances at the room numbers, the receptionist at the front desk told her that her father was in the west wing with some of the best doctors in the nation operating on him. Kory slows down her pace as she spots her mother, the royal guards, Komy, and Ryan outside the room.
Luan glances up from Ryan resting in her lap and sees Kory with tears in her eyes. "Kory," She removes Ryan off her lap and runs towards her daughter. They embrace in a hug, both crying, while Komy rolls her violet eyes behind them. "How is he? Is he okay? What happened?" Luan presses her finger to Kory's lips and hushes her, "He's going to be alright. The doctors are finishing up the operation as we speak. I don't know what has happened, but hopefully, your father will tell us when he wakes up," Luan gazes over at Galfore and smiles, he smiles back at her.
"My Queen, I apologize for the circumstances in which we have to meet like this," "Galfore, please call me Luan. We aren't in public," He blushes. "Right, I'm glad to hear that my brother will be alright," Ryan scurries over to Kory and hugs her leg. Kory ruffles his fluffy curls as he holds her tight. "Kory! I'm so glad to see you! You've been gone for a long time!" "Hi Ryan," She leans down to his level and gives a kiss on his cheek.
"I'm back now, that's all that matters," Komy strolls over to the family with a smirk on her face. "Well, well, well. If it isn't sister dear and kicks. Nice of you to join us away from Kory's rehabilitation retreat," "Komy!" Luan hissed. "It's not like it's a secret mother, right Kory?" Kory wanted to snap back at Komy, however, she didn't. It wasn't the time for them to argue and Komy knew that. She wanted to get a rise out of Kory, but she wouldn't give her the satisfaction. "Komy, how nice to see you," she said through a straight line of teeth.
Komy flipped her long mane of black curls and fluttered her long eyelashes as if she was innocent. "You too sis, shame what happened to daddy," "Such a shame," Why does Kory feel as though Komy had something to do with this? Kory wouldn't put it past her if she did. A doctor in his scrubs came out of Myan's room, a small blood stain lie under his collarbone. "Good news, we were able to safely remove the bullet from King Myan's spine. Thankfully we removed it before any vital nerves or organs were damaged. Whoever shot him has terrible aim,"
"Thank you, Doctor," Luan spoke. "Can we see him?" Ryan asked. "In a few, we have to let the anesthesia wear off," "Might as well make ourselves comfortable," Luan stated. She sat back down in her seat as did Komy and Ryan. Kory stood off to the side, away from them. "Something troubles you, bumgorf?" He asked as he moved next to her. "Nothing troubles me, I'm just glad he's alright," Kory laid her head against Galfore's arm. She lied to him. That bullet wasn't just a coincidence. Someone wanted her to get the message that any of her family members were open targets. Unfortunately, she read that message loud and clear.
