even touch the patient. How can you make
any assumptions about her condition?”
    Instead
of answering, the specialist spun on her heel and walked towards
the door. Devon was sure she was about to leave without further
discussion and was surprised when she shut the door and leaned
against it. Smiling slightly, she crossed her arms over her chest
and spoke, “Maximillian Prentise sent me.” With that declaration,
her eyes flashed from totally human to very feline and back again
in a split second.
    “Well,
shit,” Devon said under his breath, forcing a chuckle from the
doctor.
    “I’m
sorry I didn’t tell you right away, but Max’s message was very
brief and he neglected to let me know that her attending physician
was also dragon.” She smiled the first real smile since entering
the room.
    “I’m not
a dragon shifter but my husband is, and I had no idea Max was even
aware of the situation,” Sam remarked.
    He could
have kicked himself for not recognizing the good doctor as a
shifter. For the second time in the same day, Devon had let his
concern for his mate override his senses. It was a mistake he
wouldn’t make again. All at once everything fell into place and
Devon filled in the blanks, “Ernesto has been checking in on her.
It didn’t even occur to me that he would tell Max. I’ll have to
call the King and thank him.”
    “Ernesto
just happens to be my brother. Our parents were both Pride Healers.
I am part of the pride, but travel so much that I rarely see any of
them in person. However, that does not stop our Leo from calling me
when the need arises and I believe this is such an occasion,” Jane
said, and Devon could feel the affection she had for her brother
and her King.
    Dr.
Lawrence was so much more relaxed and approachable that Devon began
asking questions. “Have you seen anything like this before,
Doctor?”
    Dr.
Lawrence moved away from the door and came to his mate’s bedside,
picking up her hand as she answered, “Please call me Jane.” She
looked at him and grinned. “I have. I understand you have a very
skilled healer in your clan and a powerful white witch, as well. Is
that right?”
    Both
Devon and Sam nodded as she continued, “I have very little magical
knowledge or ability to sense its use, that is one of the reasons I
became a doctor instead of a healer, but I would say that your girl
here is a casualty of a powerful sorcerous accident.”
    She
paused, looking at both of them for emphasis. When she spoke again
it was with a bit more conviction, “It is really the only
explanation. She has no wounds, bruises, or contusions. All her
tests, scans, and x-rays are normal, and she continues to thrive
although unresponsive. Lastly, her overall health is not declining
like we typically see in coma patients.”
    Silence
filled the room as Devon and Sam absorbed Jane’s words. Dr.
Lawrence finally broke the silence, speaking directly to Devon, “I
would get your healer to assess your mate as soon as
possible.”
    He grinned, and then hurried to explain as Jane frowned. “The
healer is my mom and she’s here in the hospital with others from
our clan, eating ice cream as we
speak.”
    All
three laughed as Jane moved towards the door. “Then I’ll leave you
to it. I have to be south of the border for another consultation
early tomorrow morning.”
    She
reached in her pocket and handed him her card, “Please don’t
hesitate to call if you have any questions or need me for
anything.”
    “Thank
you very much, Dr. Lawrence,” he and Sam answered in
unison.
    “Jane,
please, and it was my pleasure.” She waved goodbye and disappeared
into the hall right before a bouncing Sydney entered with balloons
tied to each wrist.
    “Look,
Mommy! Look, Devon! They had balloons in the gift shop,” Sydney
squealed.
    Before
either could answer, Lance appeared with a pink stuffed cat under
one arm and a purple unicorn under the other. Devon burst out
laughing as Sam commented, “And it looks like
