Kellie approached him with Kristin in tow and opened the bottle of water. She knelt beside Ethan and rubbed his forehead. Kristin quickly stepped behi...d Kellie so she wouldn’t be noticed in the room. “Ethan… Sweetie? How are you feeling?”, she asked.Ethan kept his eyes closed and moaned, “so thirsty… it really hurts.
