Zane caressed Kiara's hair with a frown as she giggled.
“Why are you laughing, my love?" He questioned and she turned to him with a smile.
“Because I feel nothing and you don't know how good it feels. I feel like I'm on cloud nine" He smiled.
“That's nice to hear, my love. Why don't you rest?" She shook her head.
“I'm not sleeping yet. I'm seeing things, Zane" He bit his lower lip.
“What kind of things?"
“I'm seeing colors. Just a second ago, you were blue and now you're green. You look much more handsome green" Then she giggled and he frowned before staring at the doctor who sighed in return.
“Whatever that drug is, it is helping with the pain but it's also making her hallucinate and I don't think that's good for her" Zane's frown deepened.
“But it's helping with the pain, isn't that all that matters right now?" Levi groaned.
“Zane, don't give her the pill again. She's going to get addicted and may start seeing things that aren't there and not just colors. You may be thinking you're helping her now but once you see the mess you have created within her brain, you won't say we didn't warn you" Levi muttered before storming out of the room.
The doctor excused himself then left with the nurse.
“Zane? Why is Levi angry? The pill isn't good? But it's helping me. I feel much lighter now" She murmured as she stared up at him.
He smiled slightly at her.
“If it's helping you then we'll keep on using it till we find another solution" And they kept using it till it got to a point where Kiara couldn't do without it anymore.
~FOUR MONTHS LATER~
“Zane! Why aren't you giving it to me?!" She screamed as the nurses held her down.
“Kiara, it's not good for you anymore. I don't want you to lose your mind because of this" She groaned then screamed loudly.
“Do you like seeing me in pain, Zane?! It hurts! It feels like I'm being torn with a knife from the inside! Do you want me to die?!"She screamed while Zane tugged at his hair out of frustration.
“Don't give it to her, it's the pain speaking. When it subsides, she'll understand that you're doing this for her own good" Daniel muttered as he stood close to Zane.
Heather was currently not allowed to move around as frequently since her feet were swollen so only Daniel, Levi and the doctors were currently with Zane trying to think of a solution to the problem they had all caused.
“I was just trying to help her but it seems I've just made things worse" Zane murmured helplessly as he fell back on the couch.
“You said giving her Anesthesia with a mask would be more effective, right?" The doctor slowly nodded.
“But…"
“Do it" Kiara shook her head frantically as she held onto her stomach.
“Zane, don't you dare do anything to my babies. I still have a say in this!"
“You can't handle it, Kiara! I'm not just going to sit down here and ignore the signs! If you go along with this, you're going to fucking die and we can't rely on Anastasia because it has been months now and she still hasn't come back with the Healer witch. I'm not taking any chances and since you're not in the right state of mind to make a sensible choice, I'll be making it for you" Two nurses held her down while the doctor and one of the nurses prepared the Anesthesia.
“Zane, If you do anything to my children, I'm never going to forgive you. This time, I'll never forgive you!" She cried out before they placed the mask on her face.
Zane turned away because he couldn't hear seeing her in pain while she tried to fight them off but after some time, the Anesthesia began to work.
“Zane" She murmured his name and he moved closer to her.
“Shhh, it's going to be over soon. I promise" Tears flowed down the side of her eyes as she glanced at him through her half closed her.
“I… I'll… never… forgive you" Then she gave in and slipped into unconsciousness…
