Splendour Mine

A/N:

In this story the character names belong to Stephenie Meyer but the chapter titles come from William Shakespeare's epic tale, Romeo & Juliet. The slash is all my idea.

Chapter 170. With a martial scorn, with one hand beats cold death aside.

-Jasper-

It was all hands on deck as soon as the ambulance pulled up at the hospital. I rushed behind the gurney as the paramedics updated the medics that had come running out to meet us, and then I was separated from him by the swinging doors of the surgery suite.

I hovered around the door but when Alice arrived twenty minutes later, she pulled me through to the waiting room, put an arm around my shaking body and handed me a coffee.

"I'm so scared, Alice. What if—"

"No, Jasper, he's made it this far. He's gonna be okay."

End Note:

So sorry that this chapter was delayed. Got home yesterday and sadly ended up being rather unwell all night... Today's chapter should be up as per normal.
