Epilogue
His body felt cold.
He could faintly hear his heart beat in his ears but his breath was caught in his throat. Everything around him felt frozen and his heart sunk into his stomach before it shattered into pieces. His mind was reeling and his hands were unconsciously shaking.
"Um...Sorry, but who are you?"
This was not happening. This couldn't be happening. It had to be a dream-no, a nightmare. There was no way any of this could be real. That's right. He was going to wake up any moment now and everything would return to normal.
Chat wanted to speak, but his mouth ran dry and he was unable to form any word. There were murmuring around him but he couldn't really make out any coherent phrases. His eyes were locked onto Sylvia's confused expression.
"CHAT!" Ladybug's voice rang in his ears and he was suddenly drawn back to reality. "Stop spacing out! We need to get Sylvia to a hospital!" Chat could merely nod and looked back at Sylvia whose face was filled with her own panic.
"H-Hey…What's going on? Who are you people? Where am I?" She asked again and Chat could feel his heart give an incredibly painful squeeze. He watched as her hands went to grab her head and her green eyes widened in terror.
"W-Wait, who am I?!"
Ladybug put a hand on Sylvia's shoulder and the blonde girl jumped in surprise. "Calm down, everything's going to be alright. You had quite a fall so we're taking you to a hospital." Ladybug calmly spoke and Sylvia's shoulders relaxed.
"I…fell…?" Sylvia's eyes closed and she fell into Chat Noir's arms, her facial expression showing the calm that hid the storm underneath. Chat could do nothing as tears streamed down his cheeks and he held her tightly.
"Sylvy…" He couldn't protect her.
"Chat, you need to go before your transformation ends. I'm going to make sure she's alright and safe at the hospital." Ladybug's own tears were about to trail down her cheeks but she held them back will little strength and willpower.
They couldn't protect her.
Chat wanted to disagree and argue but he couldn't. He had to get to the hospital as soon as possible but he still had to keep his identity secret. He felt the warmth of Sylvia leave his arms and left without another word.
At the hospital…
What has he done?
He knew that he did what he needed to do and what he thought was necessary but now… He knew he did the wrong thing. He was the cause of this. He hurt his own blood. He broke his promise to his loved one.
Was he so caught up in trying to achieve his goal that he abandoned his duty? He was a Father and yet he didn't act like one. He could only hope that she was alright. She had to be. Sylvia had to be alright, no matter what.
"I want to see Sylvia Chevalier immediately" Gabriel Agreste demanded in the voyeur of the hospital, Natalie following him along with his bodyguard. The receptionist immediately stood up with wide eyes in shock.
"I-I apologize Mr. Agreste but I can't allow that. Only family members are allowed to enter and we haven't had clearance for anyone else. You're welcome to wait-" She swallowed back her words at the glare she received.
"I want to see her and that's final. Or do I have to call the head of this hospital to get what I want?" Gabriel asked, his brows furrowing and his eyes narrowing onto the petite female. She swallowed thickly and bit her bottom lip.
"Sir, please understand. I can't just-""Hey! Watch where you're going!" The security guard suddenly exclaimed from the front door and everyone's gazes shifted. Adrien came bursting through the door, his face filled with panic and fear.
"Adrien, what are you doing here?" Gabriel asked, in shock that his son was here. He watched as Adrien briefly froze before he looked back at his father. His face contorted into rage and for the first time, he stood firm in front of his father.
"I'm here to see my sister who got hurt. So don't think you can keep me from seeing Sylvy." Adrien stated and Gabriel along with Natalie's eyes widened. He knew? Moreover, he was standing up to his father?
Adrien then stormed off into the hospital despite the cries of everyone behind him and closed his eyes as tears threatened to fall. Why now? Why was his father only here now? Why did Sylvia have to get hurt before his father cared?
Tears started to cascade down his cheeks and he felt a tug inside his jacket from Plagg. Sylvia might… Sylvia might never recover and the thought of it made his entire body rocket with fear. He couldn't lose her again.
However, the miraculous had to work, right? Ladybug was the best and most powerful so her miraculous had to heal her, right? Then, why couldn't she remember? Maybe it was the shock. It had to be. Sylvia had to be fine.
"We're here. I can feel her presence" Plagg softly spoke up inside his jacket and Adrien immediately ceased his running. He stood out of breath in front of the door, sweat cascading down the side of his face and his green eyes staring at the door.
"Plagg… She's going to be alright, neh? Sylvy… She won't leave me again, will she?" Adrien asked in a shaky voice and Plagg sadly glanced at the floor. He knew he shouldn't give Adrien lost hope and let out a soft sigh.
"Sylvia, would never leave you, no matter what." Plagg knew that no matter what, Sylvia would never leave Adrien. Even if she did lose her memory, she wasn't that type of person. He glanced at Adrien who took a deep breath.
Adrien took hesitant steps towards the door. He shakily reached out to touch the cold surface of the door and let out a sigh. He needed to do this. He needed to know she was alright. He needed to know that his sister wasn't gone.
"Sylvia!" He exclaimed as he pushed the door open and stepped inside the room. He stopped a few steps inside the room and saw Sylvia sitting on the hospital bed while staring out of the window. Big green eyes looked back at him and he felt his heart give a squeeze.
Sylvia smiled at him…
