eyes .<\/p>\n
I havent even thought about this long enough to know what I actually want .<\/p>\n
I never thought Id find my mate , Judy .<\/p>\n
I never thought I even wanted a mate in the first place .<\/p>\n
Wait \u2026 what ? I asked , my eyes narrowed .<\/p>\n
Are you thinking about rejecting her ? He bit his lip , refusing to meet my eyes .<\/p>\n
That was all the answer I needed ; my heart hurts for Nan .<\/p>\n
Well then if you have to reject her , then I would do it sooner than later , I told him , almost bitterly .<\/p>\n
I wasnt hungry anymore , so I pushed my plate away and stood to my feet .<\/p>\n
Put the poor girl out of her misery .<\/p>\n
Without another word , I left the kitchen , leaving him alone with these thoughts .<\/p>\n
Gavins POV So , I know that Irene is claiming her leg hurts\u2026 but Ive done 3 different X rays , Alpha and theres nothing physically wrong with her , Elizabeth Pierce said .<\/p>\n
I sighed and leaned against the wall ; we stood in the hallway , and we had been in the hospital since yesterday .<\/p>\n
Irene kept crying that her leg hurt and wouldnt let me leave .<\/p>\n
I ran my fingers through my hair , feeling exhausted .<\/p>\n
I hadnt been able to sleep ; I tried to get a few hours in the Hospital chair , but I was uncomfortable , and Irene was whimpering for most of the night .<\/p>\n
I asked Elizbeth to do numerous tests to find out what was wrong with her leg , but shes been coming up blank .<\/p>\n
I trusted her judgment because she was the best doctor in the world after all .<\/p>\n
I nodded Thank you , I told her .<\/p>\n
So , I can take her home ? Elizabeth nodded .<\/p>\n
Yes , she replied .<\/p>\n
Im sure she could use some rest and her own bed .<\/p>\n
Ill prescribe some sugar pills \u2026 we can tell her its pain medication .<\/p>\n
It seems her pain is strictly mental and doesnt actually exist .<\/p>\n
If she thinks shes taking medication to help with her pain , then her pain will go away .<\/p>\n
I nodded .<\/p>\n
I appreciate that , I told her .<\/p>\n
Ill get that right away , she said as she retreated from the area .<\/p>\n
With a sigh , I walked back into the hospital room .<\/p>\n
Irene was scrolling through her phone , her brows pinched together .<\/p>\n
Everything okay ? I asked .<\/p>\n
She froze when she saw me walking into the room ; she put her phone on the bed beside her and grabbed at her leg , tears filling her eyes .<\/p>\n
Yes \u2026 my leg , just hurt , and Ethan hadnt come to see me once , she whimpered .<\/p>\n
I sighed again and sat at the edge of her bed , taking her hands in mine .<\/p>\n
Im sure hes just busy .<\/p>\n
Im going of take you home and- Chapter 233 Take me home ?? She gasped .<\/p>\n
But what about my leg ? Daddy , it hurts ! I nodded .<\/p>\n
I know , I told her .<\/p>\n
Dr.<\/p>\n
Pierce is going to prescribe some medication to to go home to get some rest .noveldrama<\/p>\n
She bit her lower as more tears spilled out of her eyes .<\/p>\n
O \u2026 okay , she stammered .<\/p>\n
With the pain and then we are going Once we are home , we can try to call Ethan and see if he can come over to see you .<\/p>\n
I dont know if anyone even told him you were injured , I told her .<\/p>\n
She nodded and wiped her eyes .<\/p>\n
I glanced at the clock and saw that it was nearing afternoon , I told Judy that I would pick her up in a few hours and we could get some dinner and spend the night together .<\/p>\n
I felt bad that I hadnt been around her much .<\/p>\n
I kind of left her high and dry the other day and we really havent talked much .<\/p>\n
I wanted to spend some extra time with her tonight and make up for it .<\/p>\n
Elizabeth returned with the medication and gave Irene a tablet right off the bat with some water .<\/p>\n
Its a powerful medication , so only one a day is needed , she warned ; she then looked up at me and winked .<\/p>\n
I mouthed , Thank you before turning my attention back to Irene who had swallowed the tablet and drank half the water .<\/p>\n
Beta Taylor met us at the hospital and took us back home .<\/p>\n
helped Irene into her room and got her settled into bed with her phone .<\/p>\n
Once she was settled , I went off into my own room and started to get ready for my evening with Judy .<\/p>\n
I glanced at the clock ; I only had a few minutes before I needed to leave , Just as I left my room and started down the stairs , I heard Irene screaming and crying .<\/p>\n
My entire body froze , and I rushed into her room .<\/p>\n
Whats going on ? I asked , expecting to find someone in her room , but I found no one .<\/p>\n
I reeled in my angry wolf and looked at my crying daughter .<\/p>\n
Irene ? What is it ? Ethan wont answer my calls ! She cried .<\/p>\n
I groaned .<\/p>\n
Then Irene narrowed her eyes at me .<\/p>\n
Are you going somewhere ? She asked me .<\/p>\n
I looked down at my suit and then nodded .<\/p>\n
Yeah , I was about to head out \u2026 I started to say , but she only cried harder ..<\/p>\n
Please dont leave , Daddy ! I dont have Ethan and nobody else is here to help and support me .<\/p>\n
I need you ! I can get one of the maids to tend to your needs , I assured her .<\/p>\n
More tears streaked down her cheeks , You are never around anymore , and I miss you ! She cried Please , dont leave me again , Daddy ! Please !!<\/p>\n
