Mates 154

Chapter 154 1288 (Vouchers Chapter 154 KAIDEN STIRLING We all walked out of the office and down the hallway silently. A group of people wheeling a stretcher rushed into the hallway we were and the stretcher almost hit me. A woman’s hands were clasped to her lips and she was weeping as she followed. “Archer please… please!” Her cries were m**d. I swallowed as I looked away. We got to Freda’s ward and I stopped both Dane and the doctor outside the door. I could not hear what was going on so I gave them a minute. After that, I slowly pulled the door open, informing them that I was coming in. My eyes immediately caught on all three of them huddled together on the floor in a hug. My heart warmed and I hated myself for interrupting it. “I hate to break this up, but we have to get you checked,” I said regretfully and Freda looked up at me with a soft smile on her face. My heart s**ed a beat and I wanted to punch myself in the face for acting like a lovestruck teenager. I gave room for the doctor to walk in and we all walked towards her. Lyra held Francisco’s hand and led him away from Freda so they could give us space to check in Freda. Dan waited at the door and I knelt in front of Freda. I brushed her hair out of her face before I could stop myself and I froze, waiting for her to yell at me or grow tense at my touch. 13:09 Chapter 154 I was surprised at the fact that her cheeks turned red again and she smiled at me. “Are you okay?” I asked her quietly, staring into her eyes with worry. She shook her head. “As okay as I can possibly be with wolfsbane in my body,” she said. Her voice was horribly broken and I could tell that she wasCcontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

straining to say those words. I was not going to make her talk anymore. I was going to have to find a way to make it easier for her to communicate without talking. So instead of saying anything else, I nodded. “Don’t say anything. I’ll carry you up to the bed now, okay?” I said and she hesitated before she nodded. I ho**d my arm under her legs, and around the back of her shoulders and lifted her off the ground. She buried her face în my shirt as I waited for the doctor to get the IV pole off the bed. Once he lifted it, I laid her down on the bed. She looked at me with vulnerability in her eyes. I smiled at her. “You are not allowed to speak anymore, okay?” I told her quietly. She frowned and was about to open her mouth. “No words, Freda,” I said, shaking my head with a small frown. She pressed her lips together and rolled her eyes, looking towards the doctor as he started setting up the poles again. I headed towards the door. Francisco was looking at Freda curiously and then he looked at me, squinting his eyes. He pressed his lips together and looked down at his iPad. I was curious to know what was going on in his mind but I was not going to bother asking him. Lyra looked extremely exhausted and I knew I was going to have to send her home. It was already dark and she was really tired so there was no way I was going to let her drive. I would 13:080 Chapter 154 have one of the guards do it. I turned to Dane. He was watching Freda and the doctor carefully. I walked towards him. “What are you thinking?” I asked, standing by his side and looking in the direction he was looking. “I’m starting to suspect everyone after will that’s happened today,” he chuckled and glanced at me. “We need to keep an eye on every single person that comes into her room. She isn’t safe anywhere, especially this place,” he said and I could suddenly see the sense in what he was saying. “Right.” I said, nodding. Thank the heavens he was so thoughtful. I could not think too much with Freda occupying every crevice of my mind. “You can go home now, man,” I said and he looked at me with surprise. “Yeah?” He asked and I chuckled. “Yeah. Go home, get some rest. We have a

long day tomorrow,” I said and he rolled his shoulders. “I can imagine,” he groaned. I turned towards Lyra. “Hey, go home. Get some rest and come see her tomorrow,” I said. She yawned and looked at me with exhausted, bloodshot eyes. “What?” She asked. She hadn’t heard what I said and I could not help laughing at her expense. “Go home with Francisco and–” she cut me off. “I can’t,” she said, looking towards Freda. I smiled at her. “Trust me. I’ll take care of her,” I said. She looked down at Francisco and found that he was already nodding off. She took the iPad from him and lifted him in her arms. She walked towards me in what she tried to make an intimidating manner. “Pinky promise?” She asked, squinting her eyes and holding out her hand to me.
