Chapter 199

“So she got more upset,” I prompted, “and then what happened.”

“She fed,” Evan said simply.

“And then what happened?” I asked trying to stay calm.

“She slept beside you,” Christof said. “We went to the sorting room. She was here when we got back. She woke very confused and drank from you again. We went to dinner and she was still with you when we returned.”

Hannah was never confused when she woke up. She was bright and energetic when she was done sleeping. Staying in the bed all day was also very unlike her. It was like she had been dr*gged.

“Damn it!” I cursed. “No more calming cream while I’m nursing,” I ordered them. “I have to wash the rest of it off, now!”

Stumbling to the wash room, they helped me wash the cream off my skin. Hannah was ingesting it through the breast milk. Her system was enough like mine that it affected her. I wished there was a way to give her nutrition that wasn’t tainted, but the only way to feed her was with my milk.
