But she spoke. "You know, when I saw those articles on the internet and confirmed their news with the hospital, I thought they merely feigned it because they received enough bribes. But then I saw Orion's little change of attitude toward you. You healed those boys, didn't you?"
Azzy didn't deny it. He walked over to the sideboard and poured himself a drink. "Yes."
"Then I guess you also released the photos anonymously. Sparked the reversal campaign."
Azzy took a sip and nodded. "Yes."
Leiza turned and looked at him finally, "Why didn't you ask me first?"
Azzy met her serious gaze with a steady gaze of his own. "Because I didn't have time. And because it was the right thing to do."
