Alfie's POV~
The moment Father was done giving his speech, I didn't waste a second. Without asking anyone, I bent down, slid my arms under Zane, and lifted him up in a bridal style. His body felt so light in my arms that it made my chest tighten. Without a word, I started up the stairs.
Cassian, Rhys, Knox, Simon, and the other doctors followed closely behind me in tense silence until we reached Zane's room. I gently laid him down on the bed, adjusting the pillows so he'd be comfortable before sitting beside him.
"I just want you to know something, okay?" I began, my voice low but heavy with emotion. My gaze locked with Zane's, and I could feel the sadness in my eyes burning to be let out. "No matter what illness you might be going through… you'll overcome it. We'll overcome it. I don't care what those bastards of doctors said downstairs. All I know...." my voice trembled slightly before I steadied it, "....is that you will be alright."
