Chapter 48 Chapter 48 -Laila 4 55 vouchers Cameron doesn't get to respond before a doctor walks into the room . It looks like he has more to say and he's visibly displeased about the new company . But I'm grateful for the interruption . I'm not sure I want to hear whatever else he has to say about the situation . It's already clear whose side he's on . Hell , it's been more than clear since three years ago . I had literally taken the fall for Sarah , and yet she was able to weasel her way out of the responsibility while I was still unconscious . And here he is , offering an apology Sarah doesn't have the decency to give herself . I have to give it to her . Sarah knows exactly how to get her way , and she never fails to put it to use . And seeing Cameron fall for it again , the nostalgia fades by a measure . He's still just the same man he used to be . " Good evening , Ms Laila . " The doctor greets , checking my vitals . " How are you feeling at the moment ? " I ponder over it for a moment , finally paying less attention to Cameron and more attention to my My right arm is wrapped up in a cast . And I can feel a slightly aching bump on the back of my skull . " Like I fell ." I reply finally , earning an amused chuckle from the doctor . " That you did , Ms Laila . " He agrees , " That you did ." " But overall ? Any pains ? Discomfort ? " He asks . " Don't joke about this , Lails . " Cameron reprimands , frowning in displeasure . I shoot him a withering glare . He's not in any position to comment on what I do or don't do . Brushing the thought aside , I shake my head slowly . " I just feel like I need a good sleep . " condition . The doctor nods in understanding . " Mr Blackwood ? " He asks Cameron , as he notes some things down on the board . Cameron nods . " Yes , I am . " " You must be Ms Laila's guardian . " The doctor infers . " Her husband ? " " I am . " Cameron replies instinctively . Realising his mistake , he quickly says , " No , I mean ... " 18:51 Mon , Oct 13 Chapter 48 " No. " I cut in , my tone flat . " He's not . " The doctor glances between me and Cameron in confusion . E55 vouchers Just then , Kael appears in the doorway . My eyes find him immediately and I exhale a breath of relief I didn't even realise I was holding . The atmosphere between Cameron and I has gone from tender and wistful to awkward now and I can't wait for it to be over . " That would be me . " Kael says as he walks in . His strides are calm , and relaxed, like he owns the place . Everything Kael does exudes a quiet dominance . It's as consistent as the blood flowing through his veins . However , his hands are tucked into his pockets and I can tell they're clenched . Kael is good at hiding his true emotions , from everyone ... even himself sometimes . But somehow , I can see beneath the facade enough to know he's agitated . I can't help wondering if he's angry at me for finding Cameron and I alone together again . Or just at the overall situation . He stops on the other side of my bed , opposite where Cameron still sits and leans down , placing a kiss on my forehead . The doctor glances at me for confirmation and I nod slowly . " Yes . He's my husband . " The doctor nods in understanding . " I've been told , Mr Blackwood already made the arrangements for your discharge ." So Kael didn't just arrive . He's been here all along . If so , why did I wake up to Cameron with me ? Did Kael step away ? Or just stood and watched to see if I did something to embarrass him ? Nothing with Kael is ever simple . " The fall wasn't too high , thankfully . You fractured an arm , sprained your ankle and suffered a minor concussion , but no other major injuries to note ." " Seeing as you are from a pure Alpha bloodline , your healing genes are better than most . So there's not much you need us to do for you ." He explains , nodding in approval . " We've had you on stimulants to boost your natural healing speed and for the next 24 hours , your healing will be accelerated ." " You should be fully recovered in two days ." I force a smile to my lips . " Thank you ." The doctor smiles and nods to Kael . " I'll have someone come in to prepare her , and then you can take her home , " 18:51 Mon , Oct 13 Chapter 18 " I'll see you back at the house " Cameron hesitates for a moment , glancing between me and Kal His brows furrow , displeasure flashing through his eyes . Then he gets up to his feet and takes his lense , Everyone's gone . Kael and I are alone in the hospital room , and we fall into silence , This time , it's not awkward . It's something darker ... something oppressive . I can practically feel Kael's anger brewing beneath the surface , it makes the hospital room feel like it's growing smaller . Too small to contain us both . He's leaning against the wall , watching me with an unreadable expression . And then , just when I think he won't speak , he says , " I didn't bring flowers . Or a card " " I made a call . Outside the hospital ." " Sarah has some properties worth quite a reasonable sum to her name ... she also has her life , which must be valuable to she and whoever else cares . " " She'll have just one of both left by the morning . You don't get to decide which " My eyes widen in disbelief , a measure of dread churning within me . " You're kidding ... Kael just stares back at me with a blank expression . His lips are pressed into a thin line and there isn't even an ounce of amusement in his eyes . Rather , there's a dark rage simmering in his gaze . I already made it known 1 favoured the latter . " He's not kidding . AD Comment
