Chapter 42
Alpha 42
I turned my head immediately. There he was, the Alpha Adrian, standing a little distance from
my chair.
Other doctors recognized him and stood up to bow to him.
Adrian’s hands were tucked into the pockets of his pants. Although his face was indifferent, his eyes were fixed on something.
I followed his gaze and turned to see where he was looking.
His eyes were fixed on my hand, which was over Harold’s hand. I slowly removed my hand and rolled my eyes.
1 once again shifted my attention to Adrian. Now he was looking at the bouquet of white roses!
I assumed he had spotted the bouquet either while he was entering or exiting his father’s cabin this morning.
I ignored his presence and did not care to look at him again.
I came here for just one day. But how come I meet him twice a day?
Harold looked away from Adrian and moved his chair to stand up.
During the moment when he was ready to stand up to bow to him, Adrian walked to him and pushed him on the shoulder with his hand lightly to sit him d
“Doctor Harold, no need to stand up,” Adrian stated in a tone that was calm and collected.
I could see Harold turned nervous under his dominant aura. Even though Adrian did not allow him to stand up, he nonetheless bowed his head slightly while he was sitting in his chair.
Adrian switched his attention to the other doctors, who were still bowing their heads. With a gesture of his hand, he indicated for them to take a seat. The
Taking a quick glance, I noticed that Adrian’s hand was still resting on Harold’s shoulder.
I thanked my fate once more for saving me. If we had not been silent after discussing my children and Adrian had listened to our conversation, he would
Two dishes and cutlery appeared at the table as the waiter came to place them.
“Oh, you two are having meals,” Adrian said as he removed his hand from Harold’s shoulder.
“Alpha, please have a seat,” Harold said to him politely.
Though I did not want Adrian to sit at the same table where I was sitting, I could not stop Harold. It was his duty. Adrian was his alpha.
“If you are insisting…” Adrian muttered and sat down next to me.
I became so angry that I clenched my
my fists.
What a shameless man he was!
It was not even insisting. Harold wanted to show respect, so he simply just asked him.
did he have to sit with us? In fact, he could have taken a seat next to Harold. There was empty chair beside him.
“Alpha, you are here at this time?” Harold asked him after calming himself. He also felt frightened that Adrian had almost learned about his lies.
But he tried to calm his composer since Adrian did not listen to anything.
“Why? You were not expecting me here at this hour?” Adrian asked with a mocking tone.
“It’s not like that, Alpha.”
“Perhaps I interrupted your date,” Adrian muttered and turned his head toward me.
ап
Hearing him, I looked at him with a frown. His eyes were digging at me, revealing a level of resentment that I could not identify.
“You are misunderstanding us. We were discussing your father’s health. Natalia agreed to help him.” Harold tried to explain.
Adrian raised an eyebrow while keeping his eyes on me. “Oh, really? How?”
I averted my gaze from him. I started to feel awkward.
My wolf was going absolutely insane from his scent. I took a deep breath and then closed my eyes.
“Nancy.”
1 attempted to communicate with my wolf in my mind.
“He is right next to us! Our mate is with us!” My wolf jumped inside.
“He is not a good man. Stop feeling something for him,” I warned my wolf.
“He is our mate. There is no way you can deny the truth.”
-I shut her inside and rubbed my forehead. I could not let my wolf take over me. This man did not deserve us.
During the time that I was preoccupied with my wolf, Harold had already provided Adrian with any and all information regarding his father’s health report.
“Didn’t you say only Max Harrison has the cure? Adrian asked Harold.
“Yeah, but Natalia said th-”
“How can I trust her with my father’s health?”
I turned my attention to Adrian. I shook my head in disbelief.
The reason I came all the way here was to pay a visit to his father, and he was asking how he could possibly trust me with his father’s health?
“Who needs your trust? Your mom trusts me. I believe your dad also does.” I retorted.
Adrian ignored my question and asked Harold,
“How long will the procedure run? When will you give him the cure?”
After giving the matter some thought for a while, Harold finally responded,
“We need to observe Mr. Lucas for a week. We are going to have to give him a prescription for some medication. In order for him to be able to withstand
“Okay,” was the only response that Adrian gave in response.
At that time, Harold’s phone started to ring. He received the call. Suddenly, a frown appeared. on his face, and he stood up straight immediately.
He hung up the call and bowed to Adrian.
“There’s an emergency. I need to leave now.”
Adrian gave him a nod. Harold turned his gaze at me.
“Take care, Natalia.”
I glanced at his untouched food. “You didn’t eat anything.”
“I will tell the waiter to pack my food and deliver it to my chamber.”
I nodded at him. He grabbed the bouquet. After glancing at Adrian for the last time, he left the
cafeteria.
Being seated with Adrian caused me to lose my appetite. Just as I thought about standing
leave, I heard his voice again. noveldrama
