by her bedside, and when she saw Larissa open her eyes, she asked caringly, “Mss Seymour, are you

feeling better?”

Larissa was still feeling a little dizzy, but her stomach wasn’t hurting as badly anymore. A tile,” she said,

pushing herself into a sitting position. The nurse quickly helped her and propped up Larissa’s pillow
