Hades' gaze darkened.Alanna was sitting by the side and could hear Chelsey's voice. She quickly reached out to take his phone and asked, "What happened?"Chelsey sounded anxious as she spoke. "I don't know the details. Jane only said she had brought your mom to do physical therapy. She had been waiting by the door. But your mom never came out. "When she realized it had been some time, she went in worriedly only to find out that your mom wasn't there. She asked all the doctors in the hospital. But none of them noticed anything."Alanna's expression immediately paled. She ended the call and turned to leave.Hades wanted to stop her, but he didn't manage to.He quickly returned to his room to change his clothes before chasing after her.When he got downstairs, he noticed Alanna had already gone in her car. He quickly went up to pull her out.Alanna's complexion had turned completely pale.Hades didn't say anything. He only pulled her toward his car and helped her get in. He was
Alanna had been holding back her tears for quite some time. But when she heard Hades' words, tears streamed down her face.Hades continued to comfort her. "I've already arranged for people to start looking for that physical therapist."Alanna wiped her tears away. "You should go and get a checkup. I'll be alright."Hades looked at her silently. Although her eyes were still red, the panic and anxiousness in her eyes were gone.He wasn't sure when Alanna had begun to stop relying on him. But seeing her in such a state did not make him feel better.It seemed like everything was the consequence of his actions. He felt helpless by the situation. "I'm alright. I've already made proper arrangements regarding your mother's situation. Don't worry too much about it."Alanna took a deep breath and nodded.Hades had always been thoughtful and attentive when making arrangements. Not only did he investigate that physical therapist, but he also swept through everybody working in the hosp
"Your mom!" Chelsey said as she raised her pepper spray and sprayed it directly into Michel's eyes.Michel never expected her to do such a thing. Hence, he remained dumbfounded as she sprayed him in the eyes with pepper spray. His eyes were in so much pain that he could barely open them.Before he could return to his senses, he felt something hit him in the crotch."Get the fuck down! Otherwise, I'll give you a vasectomy right here!"It took Michel a lot of effort to open his eyes. The first thing he saw was Chelsey holding a scalpel.His eyes widened as he looked at Chelsey. "You're a doctor?"Chelsey laughed. "Of course. Not only am I a doctor, but I also specialize in giving men vasectomies. So, if you ever need help, you can make an appointment with me"After that, she reached out to open the car door and pushed Michel out.He felt a wave of frustration and annoyance as he watched Chelsey drive off.He was Michel Luther! It was the first time a woman ever dared to spra
Alanna immediately pushed him out of the room. "Get out!"However, Hades just hugged her."Don't worry too much. Things will get better." Hades whispered in her ear before turning to leave.Alanna looked at the closed bathroom door in shock. It took some time for her to come to her senses. He must have been deliberately teasing her.Suddenly, Alanna felt a sense of bitterness.After a while, she forced herself to smile. Hades was right. Things would get better. Her mother would be fine. She had to believe it.After she finished her shower, she came out to see Hades sitting at the side while talking to someone on the phone.He quickly ended the call after noticing that she was done."Why did you come out before drying your hair?"Then, he walked into his room to take out a hair dryer before sitting back on the couch."Come over here."Alanna walked toward him. She had planned to sit on the seat beside him. But Hades pulled her to sit on his lap.Alanna instantly tensed
When Alanna woke up again, she was in the hospital.Chelsey noticed she was awake and quickly asked, "Are you feeling any discomfort? The doctor said you have a small concussion. Do you feel nauseous?"Alanna paused and said, "No. I'm fine. Where's Hades? What about my mom?"Chelsey paused momentarily after hearing Alanna's words. After a moment, she said, "Your mom is in the ICU and Hades is injured. He's still unconscious as he lost too much blood."Alanna felt her heart sink. "What are his injuries? Where is he?"Then, she tried to remove the blankets to get down from the bed.Chelsey quickly stopped her. "Don't be rash. He hasn't woken up yet. You won't be able to do anything even if you go there. Let me call the doctor to check up on you first."With that said, Chelsey quickly headed out of the ward.The doctor came and did a simple checkup. Chelsey only allowed Alanna to get up from the bed after making sure she was fine."You can go and visit Hades. The ICU ward doesn't
Alanna felt her heart sink as she rushed over. "What's wrong? Are you in pain?"Suddenly, Hades reached out and pulled her into his embrace."Ally, don't move. You might hurt my wounds if you move too much," Hades whispered into her ear.Alanna immediately tensed.Hades' gaze fell on her lips as he subconsciously gulped. Alanna could sense his intentions and wanted to get up. However, Hades seemed to have predicted her movements. He immediately reached out to hold the back of her head.His voice was hoarse as he said, "Ally, don't go anywhere. Just accompany me here like this."Their eyes met and sparks seemed to flicker around them.The atmosphere began to heat up as Alanna looked away in a panic. But at that moment, Hades held her head and kissed her.A fire ignited in their souls the second their lips connected. It was like an insatiable thirst and longing had overtaken their bodies.Hades wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer toward him.Their deep b
Hades nodded. "Call me if you need anything."Alanna nodded and left Hades' ward. She had just arrived at the elevator when the elevator opened.Then, a bunch of bodyguards dressed in black came out before a stern-looking elderly man followed behind.The man wore a suit and held a walking stick in his hand.He was Hades and Yves' grandfather, Cyrus Florentine.There was a woman beside him. The woman looked to be around 25 to 26 years old. She was beautiful, and there was an air of elegance around her.Her gaze swept over Alanna before she looked away. "Grandpa Cyrus, what if Hades does not welcome me?"Cyrus looked at the woman in adoration. "I'll hit him if he dares to say such a thing!"The woman smiled sweetly. It made her look adorable. "Don't do that. I can't stand seeing you hit him."At that moment, Alanna immediately understood who that woman was. She was probably the marriage partner his family had arranged for him.She stood by the side with pursed lips and felt her
Hades' voice soon drifted into Alanna's ear."You can do that, but don't blame me for being ruthless.""Do you really think you're so tough to the point that I can't do anything to you, Hades?"The woman's voice could be heard cutting through the conversation."Please don't get mad, Grandpa Cyrus. Hades was just saying his mind. Hades, can you please not make Grandpa Cyrus angry? He got so mad at you yesterday that his blood pressure was elevated again."Suddenly, Alanna didn't feel like eavesdropping on the conversation anymore. She placed the soup on the windowsill before leaving.Once she returned to the ward, she found out that the new doctor was starting his shift of the day.She spent some time waiting outside the ICU ward for the doctor to complete his check-up on Tara. When the doctor came out of the ward, he paused in his steps when he saw her."Ms. Jacinto, let's talk in my office."Alanna felt her heart go tense at those words. She couldn't help but ball her fists s
