"Sorry, Luna, I'm very sorry, but if Luna has an experienced healer or doctor acquaintance I will be happy and will report the condition of the twins to them," said the healer. "So, they could take it from there. Hopefully, they will do a much better job than I did."
Sophie shook her head weakly. She didn't know any more doctors and healers. They had called every healer and doctor both humans and lycans they knew.
So... did this mean... her youngest babies would not make it?
Gosh... she felt so weak and had to rely on Lily for support. Leland would be heartbroken when he came home and his babies were gone. At times like this, Sophie just wanted to find him and cry in his embrace. She couldn't handle this on her own.
She was so devastated. This was no less painful than the moment when she found out her unborn babies were dead. Why? Why did they have to experience pain like this for the second time? What crime did she do in her past life that she was punished so severely like this?
She wished she could find Leland and tell him everything that had happened. She wished they could fight for the twins' life together.
Actually, when the healer asked Sophie if she knew any more people with healing abilities, there was one person that Sophie thought might be able to help. She didn't know if that person would want to help her babies. However, she would sacrifice anything and everything if she would try to heal Anne and Jack.
That person was Eloise the grand witch.
And she was now with Leland.
Sophie remembered Max told her how Leland was on the brink of death because he was poisoned and they were detained for weeks while he was being treated. From Max's explanation, she could tell that Leland's condition was critical, however, he ended up alive.
That means Eloise must be one hell of a healer that she could help cure Leland from the poison that was supposed to be fatal. Witches were experts in magic and medicine. If there was anyone better than healers and doctors to heal Sophie's babies... it was probably Eloise.
Sophie bit her lip. She must do something for her babies' sake. She resented Leland for leaving her without telling her what he was doing. He only sent a message through Max and it was without a clear explanation. This made Sophie feel cheated of the truth.
Didn't she have the right to know everything Leland was doing and what his plans were? Leland's way of hiding things from her now made her feel suspicious. She didn't want to rely on her mate again.
She must do something. If Eloise was her last hope, then she would do anything to get help for her babies. Even if Eloise wanted Sophie to pay a high price for her help, Sophie would do it gladly, as long her babies were safe. She didn't care about anything else.
"I know someone," said Sophie with trembling lips. "I will try to reach out to them."
The healer looked surprised but relieved. "Oh, I hope that person can help."
Sophie sighed. "I hope so too. Thank you for your help, elder. You may resign and get some rest."
"Thank you, Luna."
After he bowed his head to show respect, the healer withdrew, leaving Sophie, Lily, and Lucas in the room along with the two maids.
Holding Lily in her arms to support her body, Sophie walked over to the baby crib and was devastated when she saw the babies were so quiet and make no sound. If not for seeing their stomachs moving slowly when breathing, she would have thought they were dead.
"Luna, we will definitely find a way to save them, please don't despair," Lucas said, unable to bear to see Sophie who was now crying despondently.
"I think I know someone who might be able to help," said Sophie in a whisper. She looked at Lucas deeply. The Beta furrowed his brows. He thought he had summoned anyone to help. So, who was the person that Luna meant?
"Who is it, Luna? Let me go and fetch them."
"It's Eloise, the grand witch that is also Alpha Elias' wife from Armeria," said Sophie. She looked despaired. "Do you think you can find her and get her to come here? I will try every single way until I have exhausted all options, including asking for the enemy's help..."
Lucas was silent. He understood Sophie's dilemma in asking for Eloise's help. But she was right, her children's health was more important than the family feud.
"I will find her, Luna," said Lucas.
Sophie let out a long sigh. They couldn't even find Leland's trace. So, how would they find Eloise? Didn't she go with Leland together?
Thinking about Leland made Sophie sad again. She couldn't help but call his name in tears.
"Leland where are you… I beg you to go home." Sophie wept bitterly, making those who saw her feel sad too.
Lucas' eyes started to tear up when he saw it. Before the tears came out, he asked Lily to stay with Sophie and then rushed out. "Take care of Luna for me, Lily. I will go out and find the witch."
Lily nodded and sat with Sophie on the bed, while Lucas went out of the room. When he was outside, the Alpha from the Blue Moon pack approached him.
"How are they?"
"All the wedding preparations have been completed since a week ago. When will the wedding take place? It's been too long."
This had actually been discussed. Lucas proposed to postpone the wedding until Leland returned and Alpha Rad agreed. However, after so long, Alpha Rad finally felt that he and the others had left their place too long and as the Alpha, there were many things he must take care of.
Especially now that Lily would no longer help with his tasks. His work as an old Alpha was piling up.
