CHAPTER TWELVE
ENZO’s POV.
After I drop her off and ride off, my mind keeps slipping back to her. The look on her face, the tears in her eyes and her overall demeanor. There is something about her that I can not quite describe, something about her keeps drawing me closer to her and I actually want to know what that is.
The moment I saw her, I knew she was a wolf. A strong one for that matter, I could sense her energy and what she can do.
If she is such a strong wolf, why exactly was she crying? Why did she look so sad even at that?
My thoughts are interrupted when my mobile begins to ring and seeing the caller ID, I already know what’s up.
“Tell me” I say out loud as soon as I click on the receive button.
“The patient is already awake, doctor” the director’s voice filters into my ear.
“I am on my way back to the hospital, I will be there soon”
After ending the call, I press my leg against the accelerator and speed off.
Being a wolf and a doctor sure comes with its perks, it is safe to say that everyone in the world knows my name. Be it in my world or the world of humans, I am well known. One, for being the alpha of one of the most ruthless and most powerful packs and the second for being the best brain surgeon.
All this came to me on a platter of gold, I didn’t suffer for any but I am already getting used to the hospital walls and I am not particularly happy about that, it is a tiring profession I must say.
I push all these thoughts to the back of my head and speed towards the hospital, I can not let the patient I flew all the way from my city to die in my hands.
As soon as I bring my car to a halt, I alight and hasten towards the hospital, the director is already waiting for me and he doesn’t bother to ask a question before leading me towards the private elevator and into the patient’s vip room.
Some nurses and doctors are already in the room and all eyes turn to me as soon as I enter.
I walk up to the old man, his eyes are opened and he has a small smile on his face.
“You won’t let me die, Enzo” he begins to speak softly, “do you think you can keep me alive for much longer?”
“I will make you better, Mr Gonzales” I tell him and I mean it, even if it means I have to use the powers of my own world. I have known Gonzales since my school day and I can not just give up on him in such a manner
“You can not do too much for me, Enzo” he continues, the smile still on his face, “just let me die already so I can rest in peace”
“Aren't you making a nice joke?” I try to laugh it off but I the old man looks adamant as always.
“You have done enough for me, son” he says again, “now let me rest okay?”
I don’t say anything and continue to stare back at him, feeling numb to his own pains. Maybe because I am somewhat responsible for my father’s death.
Well, you can not blame me. He was no good an alpha to the pack and I had to end him.
“What about your family? Have you decided what to tell them?”
“You are our family doctor, Enzo. You should come up with something nice to tell them. I just want to rest without any worries now. I hope you can do this for me”
I smile back at him, “get some rest, I will arrange for your transfer tomorrow okay?”
“Hmmm”
With a nod, I make my way out of his room again.
Gonzales has been my patient for the longest of time. He was diagnosed with brain cancer a few years back but he refused surgery, we have to rely on drugs and emergency operations to keep him alive and I can genuinely feel his tiredness, no one likes to be in and out of the hospital every day.
My thoughts are cut off when I see doctor Mandy coming out of the gynecological laboratory and the thoughts of Michelle slowly make their way back into my head.
“Doctor Bane” I call out to him and I feel him flinch in fear.
I scoff, he has always been this way.
“Doctor” he bows slowly.
“Why do you look like you have seen a ghost?” I ask with a raised eyebrow and he nods in the negative.
“Of course not, i just wasn’t expecting you back now since you went to drop one of the patients off”
A look of uncertainty appears on my face,
“About that, who is she?” I don’t know why I am suddenly interested in her but something inside of me keeps wondering about her. I don’t know if it is me or my wolf but I know I want to know what’s going on with her. Pregnant women are always happy for their baby but she looked extremely sad and unhappy.
“What do you mean, doctor?” Bane asks me again, a weird smile lingering on his face.
“Tell me everything about her” I tell him again, “and I mean everything”
“She is a patient and her information is also protected under the hospital policy, I don't think I should be…
My eyes immediately darken at his outburst, I am suddenly getting upset.
“Come with me” I tell him before turning around and walking back towards his office.
After we both enter the office, I lower myself on his chair and gesture towards him to do the same.
When he is done sitting, I press forward against his glass table and a wicked smirk appears on my face.
“This will be the last time I will ask, doctor” my eyes continue to stare back at him, “tell me everything about her”
“But doctor…
“With a snap of my finger, you will be breaking fast with the moon goddess, don’t make me angry”
He heaves a sigh, a weak wolf like him knows not to annoy me. He knows that too well.
Not to brag but I am one of the most ruthless alpha alive and Bane knows it well, he knows not to mess with me.
“I don’t think you want to upset me, now do you?”
“She is pregnant” he begins to talk, “but her pregnancy is complicated. She has a tumor growing directly opposite her womb and it could potentially lead to her death. I have spoken to her to do an abortion but she insist on keeping the baby since she she has been looking for one for three years now”
This is like a bombshell to me, I didn’t expect this to be the reason why she looks so sad.
“And her husband?”
“They are divorced” Bane answers, “and she doesn’t want him to know about the pregnancy or the tumor”
“Hmmm” I lean back against the chair as her face winds its way into my head again. She is one of the stubborn types.
“Very well then” I push my body out of the chair, “thank you”
After that, I make to leave but he stops me again.
“You seem overly interested in her, doctor”
“Is that a problem?” I inquire with a raised brow.
“I just don’t think you want to concern yourself with things that do not matter”
I scoff again, “now that you have said it, I really want to concern myself with her”
Not bothering to wait for his response again, I hasten out of the office again before making my way towards the entrance. It seems like I need to see her again.
“You are overly interested in her” my wolf says to me and I clear my throat. Of course I am, she has the most beautiful set of eyes I have ever seen.
