Chapter40.
We were at a private hospital, and we had contacted them beforehand. The nurses were waiting
at the door. As soon as Xander got out of the car, they took me and pushed me to the
examination room.
12:30 am. Hospital ward. I woke up from a daze.
I turned my head and saw Xander sitting by the bed. His shirt was wrinkled, his sleeves rolled up, and three buttons of his collar were undone, casually as if he had just run a marathon.
“Mr. Shaw.”
My voice was hoarse, and I had a stuffy nose.
“Do you remember what happened just now?” Xander asked me.
I remember.”
I gave him a wry smile. From the attack to being saved by him, although I was confused, I wasn’t completely unconscious.
Thank you! Really! Thank you so much!” If he hadn’t saved me, I probably wouldn’t have survived. I just heard my wolf’s respond, she was drugged too.
Xander looked at me deeply for a while. “Good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear?” “Both.”
“The good news is that you weren’t violated, and the injection didn’t go in. The one in the corridor was a sleeping drug, it won’t be a big deal. As for the bad news…” he paused, “it was your partner who ordered those people to do it.”
“I know…”
I lowered my eyes, my hands clenching tightly on the bedsheets.
Xander didn’t comment on my feelings. I’m also responsible for what happened this time. I’m still holding those people. Do you want to report it to the Pack Enforcer or settle it privately? I can help you again.”
“You’ve already helped me a lot,” I looked up,“I’ll handle the rest myself.”
“Are you sure you don’t need help?”
“I already owe you a huge favor. I can’t owe you any more. I can’t
repay it.”
Xander laughed softly.
At that moment, the phone on the table rang. It was my phone. He picked it
up for me.
I saw that it was my father calling. It was almost 1 AM. My parents had been worried that I hadn’t
come home. Although I was an adult werewolf, they were still a little concerned.
I cleared my throat and answered, “Dad.”
“Sophia, where are you?
I’m… I’m at a club with a friend.”
“You’re not coming home. Your mother can’t sleep. She’s worried about you. Come back quickly.”
“Okay, I’ll be right back.”
After hanging up, a wave of sadness washed over me. I didn’t dare to think what would have happened if I had been assaulted tonight, how heartbroken my parents would have been.
I turned to Xander, Could you please drive me home?”
Xander was silent for a few seconds. His aura became softer. “In this state, aren’t you afraid your parents will notice something?”
I said jokingly, “If I don’t go home, my mother won’t sleep. I have to let her…” My eyes turned red again. My wolf could no longer hold it in and howled, crying uncontrollably. “I’M SO SCARED! I FEAR I MIGHT NEVER WAKE UP AGAIN!”
I took a deep breath to suppress the sourness in my throat. To cover up the awkwardness, I added, “It’s so strange, why am I crying again? It’s so embarrassing.”
“Cry if you want. I’ve seen you cry for a whole journey, one more time won’t make a difference.”
It was almost 2 AM. Xander sent me back to my parents‘ place.
I put on makeup, covering the tear marks on my wrists. After entering, I pretended to be drunk, chatted with my parents, and said I was tired and wanted to sleep.
My parents were relieved to see me back. I washed my face and called Summer, Summer, Jason and I won’t be able to end this quietly. I’m going to destroy him entirely!”
Summer, who was half:
instantly woke up.
