Chapter 18
Xandar insisted on getting his personal doctor to examine Lucianne. Not wanting to risk upsetting her when she woke up, he decided against bringing her to his villa and instead got the doctor to come to Lucianne’s room in the hotel. The guard she mentioned, Benjamin, was there. He looked at the sleeping Lucianne in Xandar’s arms in dismay. He knelt on one knee and bowed even before they reached the front door.
“I’m sorry for not informing you sooner, your Highness.” Benjamin said in remorse.
“Stand, Benjamin. Our Queen is fine. She just needs rest. You did everything within your reach to inform me about where she went. Thank you.” The guard stared at the King in shock at the gratitude he expressed. He took a moment to digest what he just heard before slowly standing back up.
Lucianne didn’t even wake up from her deep slumber when Lunas Hale and Felicity came to clean her up and change her clothes. After they were done, Xandar stayed by her side while h e waited for his doctor to arrive.
The doctor, Dr Yeil, arrived shortly after to examine Lucianne. When he was done, he told Xandar that she was alright, and that she just needed a few more hours of deep sleep. When Xandar asked about the silver in her bloodstream, the doctor looked at him in bewilderment.” Your Highness, I can assure you, there’s no silver in the Queen’s system. In fact, it doesn’t seem like any silver had entered her system at all.”
Xandar argued in a hushed tone, “That’s not possible. I saw the knife myself. It was clearly coated with silver, and the knife was extracted from the side of her body.”
Dr Yeil’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he looked at Lucianne on the bed. He muttered under his breath, “Strange. Hmm…” He then turn back to Xandar and suggested, “If you allow i t, your Highness, I’ll extract a syringe of her blood to have it further analyzed.”
“Please, do.” Xandar approved without hesitation. He needed her to be okay.
After Dr Yeil took the blood and left, Xandar went to the bathroom to call Alpha Juan to give him an update.

“Please.” Xandar said encouragingly.
