Evan let out a sigh of relief, flew up to Betty's window, and knocked softly.

Lysander hadn't left Betty's side the whole time they were alone. Upon hearing the knock, he stood up and opened the window so Evan could come in.

”Any change?” Evan asked as he climbed in the window.

Lysander shook his head, looking very forlorn. ”I… I should check on Laura-Beth and the nursery.” he said softly. He didn't want to leave Betty but she would be safe with Evan and the kids still needed someone to be the parent and take care of them.

Lysander looked up when he saw Tyler in the hallway. He looked like he wanted to say something but didn't know what to start with, so he took a step to the side to let her in.

”Glad you got here so quickly. Are you ok?” Evan greeted, standing closer to the bed.

Evan let out a long breath, running a hand through his hair. ”Is there anything that you can tell us about this curse that might help Betty?” he asked, almost feeling like he was grasping at straws.

Lysander leaned despondently against the wall. ”This is my fault. I suggested that she stay home one more day before she goes to work because I was going to miss her…” he said, sounding a little depressed.

Evan nodded, accepting that answer. ”Thank you,” he sighed, ”for coming out here and helping us.”

Lysander rubbed his forehead, still beating himself up over this. If she had been at work, this wouldn't have happened.

Evan smiled a little at the news. Maybe we can talk her out of it… Like with coma patients.

Lysander looked up slightly and walked over to the bed before kneeling beside his wife. ”Betty… If you can hear me… I just want you to know how sorry I am.” he said solemnly. ”If I hadn't talked you into staying home today… this wouldn't have happened to you. This is my fault.” he started as a few tears escaped. He wasn't expecting her to wake up to his apology but he just needed to say it.
