Julian’s POV
As the press conference was set to start, I followed Head Healer Eric out of the office and to the front of the building. By now, a podium had been arranged, with several different news organization’s microphones attached to it.
Everything about this still felt wrong to me. I had wanted to delay the conference until I could speak with Amber, but Head Healer Eric had been adamant that there was no time to delay.
“This potion could save lives,” he had said. “We need to deliver it to the people right away.”
Against my better judgement, still wanting to believe in him, I had accepted his words. Though the unease still sat with me, and likely would remain until I could actually speak with Amber.
For now, I followed Head Healer Eric out to the front of the building.
