By the time they got to the hospital, the whole car was overflowing with blood and Scarlett had lost consciousness again. Even without traffic and with how good of a driver Ryan was, they almost got into an accident multiple times as Liam kept slamming his hands against the back of Ryan's seat, urging him to drive faster. Liam could not sit down after Scarlett was rushed to be operated on. He found himself pacing to and fro the hospital's waiting room. He had the urge to follow her into the room, no nurse or doctor would be able to stop him as the alpha, but he knew that his presence would only pressure the doctors. Why was he this worried about Scarlett? The baby was not his, and he should be happy if she lost the child so that it would be easy to take her back with him, he couldn't wish that on her. He has seen first and foremost how a woman who lost her child could react from when Olivia lost her baby. She has nearly gone mad, and she was the one who asked for Scarlett to be ban
Scarlett groaned as she forced her heavy eyelids open. Her vision was blurry for a while before everything came into focus. Scarlett winced and shut her eyes as the white light above her came into view, it was blinding but in that little moment of concentration, she could tell that she was not in her room at Alex's house. She did not have that kind of light above her bed. With her eyes closed, she could hear little beeping sounds and smell the disinfectant in the room. She needed no one to tell her that she was in the hospital, but what for?She thought deeply and everything came back to her like a flashback in a movie. Her eyes flew open when she remembered that she was bleeding before she passed out and woke up now.Scarlett lifted her hand and placed it on her stomach, her racing heart immediately slowed down its beat when she felt her bump. The bump was still there, and she was still alive, it could only mean that her and her baby were fine, Scarlett sighed in relief.Where was L
“I want to leave now” Scarlett snapped as she reached to pull the dip attached to her left hand.The nurse froze in shock, but it was only for a moment before she was rushing forward and grabbing Scarlett's hand to stop her, “You cannot do that, you can't just pull off your drip, Luna”Scarlett went still, including Liam at the nurse's word, but it seemed like the nurse did not notice the title she used in addressing Scarlett as all her attention was focused on making sure that Scarlett did not pull off her drip.Scarlett was looking at the nurse's mane of brown hair as the nurse bent over her hand to rearrange her drip, “I'm not your Luna” her voice came out coldly“Eh?” The nurse raised her head to give Scarlett a confused look. “I said I'm not your Luna” her voice was firm. She did not want anyone making mistakes when it came to this, so she wouldn't be punished for no reason again.Olivia might lie that she was bribing and gathering some of the wolf's to rebel against her. Olivia
“What purse?” Hot anger flared within Scarlett again and her eyes turned crimson red, “My fucking purse, man, the one I was holding when we met. It has my phone and other things!” Scarlett wanted to hurl something hard at Liam's head, as she felt that his question was dumb. She had never been this angry all through her pregnancy until now. What woman goes out without a purse? And she was even going to eat, from where would she have taken out money or card to pay? “Maybe it's still in my room, I will have Ryan bring it”Scarlett was going to ask who the fuck Ryan was, but she thinned her lips and looked away. Scarlett turned her back to him, she did not want to trouble her child but with Liam being in the same room with her and standing so close, she could not stay out of trouble.“You can follow him to your room after asking him to fetch it” I could do without you here. Liam stood there for a while, just staring at Scarlett's back. He did not need anyone to tell him that she did n
‘Where you sent her to’ a deep voice grumbled in Liam's head.Liam froze in shock, that was the voice of his wolf. Did his wolf just talk to him? His wolf, who has been silent for months now, just spoke to him. Liam could not believe it, everything felt so surreal yet, happiness filled his heart. Scarlet didn't want him around her, but with the way things were going with his wolf always showing signs of waking up and talking to him anytime he was around her, he couldn't stay away from her. “I need my phone” Scarlett snapped at him, waking him up from his reverie. This time around, Liam gave it to her without any more fuss. He watched as her fingers tapped away on the phone and clicked on that man's number. She placed the phone on her ears after that. “Hello Alex, I'm sorry I missed your call" Scarlett said immediately Alex picked her call“Scarlett? Oh, thank God. Do you know how worried I was? I have literally searched the whole city for you, even the police could not locate you.
Scarlett instantly felt nauseous as Liam opened the food in front of her. She raised her head up and blocked her nose with her hand so that she wouldn't throw up.Liam, who seemed to have noticed her action, raised a brow at her, “What's it?” He was already expecting her to pick another fight with him. Scarlett shook her head as she waved her hand at him, gesturing that he should move the food away from her. Liam was looking at her in confusion as he could not understand what was wrong with her. “I don't understand you” he told her with a frown. The nurse who ran away from them when they were quarreling chose that time to show up. “What's wrong?” She asked with a frown as she entered the room and saw the position they both were in.“Hm hm hm” Scarlett was struggling so much, she waved her hand again, nearly hitting the food and upturning it, hoping that the nurse would understand and the nurse did. She immediately walked up to Liam to snatch the food out of his hand. “It's the food
“Don't you have any important things to do today? Pack duties and all, why are you still here?”Liam lazily adjusted his position on the sofa, “You should ignore my presence”“Well, I can't. Not when your eyes are on me”“You like my eyes on you?”Scarlett frowned at him, “What happened to you?”“What happened to me?”“Stop acting like you don't know what I'm talking about” Scarlett snapped, getting frustrated because he kept answering her questions with questions of his own.“I don't read minds, now, do I? You need to tell me directly what you mean so that I don't misunderstand you”Scarlett rolled her eyes, “You are talking too much and acting like a complete ass. You used to be quiet and…” entirely different. “And that was the Liam you knew and loved?” Scarlett's face closed up, and she dropped back on the bed, sighing softly, “It's a good thing you used past tense” Liam snickered, but a knock at the door ended their conversation, it was Ryan. Liam rose and went to get the food
“What about Olivia? Does she know you are here?” Scarlett asked Liam, breaking the silence that had been reigning in the room for a long time now.A small smirk lifted the corners of Liam's lips, he brought his hand up to massage his jaw as he fixed his brown eyes on Scarlett. He knew she had been watching him for a while, but he kept his eyes on the laptop that was sitting on the small table he had Ryan move to the room.“You are finally talking to me?”Scarlett scoffed before looking away. “You should be grateful” It's been three days now, and she has not been discharged. She threw a tantrum when, on the second day, the nurse refused to let her go as promised. She nearly brought down the hospital with her screams; insulting Liam and calling him a liar. She had to be sedated that day and when she woke up, the nurse explained why she still needed to be kept in the hospital. She weighed the pros and cons and finally accepted her situation.Even if she wanted to leave, she wouldn't be
