Arielle Immortal Quickening Read Online Free PDF Page A

yesterday. They spent several hours with us, and it was very comforting. In fact, they were here when the doctor told us that Gabrielle is very strong, and she will recover quite well with time.”
    “That’s excellent news!” Arielle remarked. There was a long pause.
    “Eva and Ian will be going home the day after tomorrow,” Mrs. Winters broke the silence. Arielle smiled in obvious pleasure.
    She hesitated a few more minutes, and then she glanced in Sebastian’s direction, trying to get his attention. He had taken a seat next to Mr. Taylor, and they were conversing quietly. Sebastian finally looked up, and their eyes locked. His expression spoke volumes; there was warmth in his eyes, and she smiled. He stood up slowly and politely took his leave from Mr. Taylor. He crossed the room in a slow stride and came to stand right next to her.
    “Sebastian,” she breathed, and took his hand. “We should go and visit with Eva and Ian before we go home.”
    “Yes,” he said, “I had the very same thought.” They said their goodbyes and walked away.
    “Thanks for coming, Sebastian. I’ll treasure our talk.” Mr. Taylor’s clear voice startled her. She gazed back toward him, and he was watching Sebastian with a grateful look. She was completely amazed at the extraordinary appeal Sebastian projected around him. She stared at the most striking man on this earth as he walked next to her and held her hand. Her eyes rested on his gorgeous face one more time.
    “Let’s go see Eva first,” she said. He nodded in agreement. Bending down, he brushed his lips across her forehead.
    Eva looked remarkably well. A wide smile spread across her badly bruised face when she saw them walking in.
    “Hey, Arielle! Hey, Sebastian! I’m so happy to see you both,” Her voice was weary and extreme emotion haunted her expression as tears rolled down her face. Arielle was pleased that all she could see was a large cast on her right leg and several black-and-blue bruises on her face. She also saw bruises on the part of Eva’s body where the hospital gown left her skin exposed. Sebastian bent down and gave her a warm hug, and Eva squeezed him tightly.
    “Hey, you handsome man! I missed you and your dazzling eyes.” Her remark made Sebastian chuckle as he released on her a good dose of his dazzling power. Eva immediately went numb; she tried to open her mouth, but she was unable to speak. Arielle heard her gasping for air as her head fell back on the pillow, unable to hold herself up. Sebastian broke out into soft laughter as he looked away from Eva’s eyes. It was but a few minutes later when they heard her sigh under her breath. Shaking her head, she mumbled, “That’s not fair Sebastian; that’s just not fair,” For a moment, it seemed like the accident had never happened.
    “I’m so happy to see that you came out of this without major injuries,” Arielle said. Her voice was jubilant, and her heart was full of joy for Eva’s wellbeing.
    “Oh, Arielle, me too. It must of have been a horrible accident! I haven’t seen any pictures, and I just can’t remember a thing!”
    “It was…it was a pretty bad accident,” Sebastian said.
    “I saw the paper, and I’m so happy about you and Ian escaping with a few broken bones and some bruises,” Arielle added.
    “Poor Gabby!” Eva murmured. “My mum said that she’s in bad shape, and my heart is breaking. Have you seen her?”
    “Yes,” Arielle replied. “I just did. She’s still in ICU in a coma, so she didn’t know that I was there. Troy looked devastated.”
    “We are all thankful that Troy was indestructible, because he saved our lives,” Eva whispered and let out a soft sigh. “I know that his immortal speed had everything to do with getting help quickly. I know that he saved Gabrielle’s life.”
    Arielle smiled and bent down to give her a kiss. “I’m so happy that you weren’t badly hurt,” she said, palming her cheek. “Can you remember anything at all?”
