The room fell into a heavy silence after Abraxas's revelation. Lucius and Sirius exchanged grim looks, their faces showing shock and determination. Orion, lying weakly in bed, could no longer contain his emotions and the toll the situation had taken on him.
He turned his head weakly towards Sirius, his voice barely a whisper but filled with anguish. "It's true, Father," he mumbled, tears streaming down his face. "She's done this to me… I'm sorry…"
Orion's voice cracked as he spoke, his eyes filled with deep sorrow. The weight of the truth being exposed, combined with the physical and emotional strain, overwhelmed him. His face turned pale, and he clutched his stomach as nausea returned.
Before anyone could react, Orion lunged forward from the bed, his body convulsing as he vomited onto the floor beside him. The sound of his distress was heart-wrenching.
Sirius rushed to his side, his face filled with fear and concern. "Orion! It's okay, just breathe. We'll get you through this."
Lucius, both horrified and sympathetic, moved to help as well. "Let's get him cleaned up and find some relief for him."
As the room grew more somber, Walburga's expression remained cold, though she was beginning to realize the gravity of her actions. Abraxas stood nearby, tears falling as he watched Orion's suffering, feeling guilt and helplessness.
Sirius held Orion, whispering soothing words as he gently wiped his son's face. "It's all right, Orion. You're safe now. We'll make sure of it."
Orion's breathing began to slow as the nausea subsided, though he still trembled. "I'm sorry," he repeated weakly, his voice hoarse. "I didn't mean for any of this."
Sirius shook his head, his voice firm but gentle. "You have nothing to apologize for. You've been through far too much already."
Lucius stepped back, his mind racing with the next steps. The evening's course had changed dramatically, and the priority now was ensuring that Orion received the care and support he needed.
As the immediate crisis was addressed, it became clear that the path ahead would involve not only healing Orion's physical wounds but also confronting the deep-seated issues that had led to this tragic situation.
