Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0268

"Could you not just have mindlinked him?" I suggested, realizing that all he had just done was probably not even necessary. My voice sounded so husky right now, and it hurt a little to speak. Asher faltered a little at my words, I assume, as he considered my words, before he grinned at me. The most heart-melting grin I think I have ever seen. Before he shrugged at me.

"Ah well, I fancied making a fuss." He winked, and I found myself giggling, despite the fact it hurt. "Admittedly, I may have forgotten at that moment to mindlink, I was just so pleased to see you awake! My first thought was you."

Oh my god, he was killing me...

'Find me a sick bucket.' Akira teased, evidently still choosing to pay attention despite the fact she was meant to be resting.

"Yeah?"

"Hell yeah! I have been so worried, Bailey. You have given us such a scare." Asher whispered, and I could see the anxiousness upon his face. I hate the thought of him being worried about me. Though my mind flickers back to the conversation I thought I recalled. Had that been what it was? Him talking to me when he was worrying? Telling me how he felt?

I found myself looking up at him, my gaze prating, so unsure if what I was guessing could be right, as I tentatively said "Hmm, I heard." Asher's eyes widened in shock, before they moved across my face like he was trying to read my feelings. Was he nervous? "You heard?" he mumbled, and I nodded slowly.

"I think so. I have snippets of things in my mind. Images... conversations... that don't make sense, but you saying that makes me wonder if the conversations were from while I was unconscious." I whispered, as it felt a little easier on my voice.

Asher nodded. "That would make sense. The nurse did say you may be able to hear us. What did you hear?" he asked, and from the expression upon his face he looked a little nervous.

"Was I not supposed to hear?" I asked, and his gaze met mine, and the way he was looking at me gave me butterflies.

"If it was the things I am thinking,

then all of that has been held inside for too long. I wish I had told you before..." he began just as the door opened, and the doctor walked in, causing Asher to roll his eyes. Wish I hadn't called him now." He Said with an ironic smile. I knew exactly what he meant. There was nothing like bad timing...

"Ah, Miss West, it is so good to see you awake!" the doctor greeted me, as he made his way to my bed. "Am I okay to give you a quick check over?"

I nodded. Unsure why I would have refused him. They had so evidently been treating me so far, and I wanted to feel better, and for that I needed their help. I lay as he did what he needed to do, wincing each time he caught areas on my body which were badly bruised or had wounds still upon them that Akira had yet to heal. Making notes as he went along, he kept muttering to himself, making me worry something was wrong, and I kept glancing across at Asher, who looked so anxious right now.

The doctor did a fairly detailed examination before he smiled at me before doing the same to Asher. "Well, Miss West, I am glad to say you are looking like you will make a full recovery. The injuries do look to be healing on their own now after the treatment we gave, along with the assistance of your wolf, of course. You certainly gave us a scare, poor Beta Asher hasn't left your side. Not even slept for a moment." My heart tightened at his words. I don't know why I was surprised at that. But the thought of Asher not leaving me and not evenProperty © NôvelDrama.Org.

sleeping made me feel guilty.

He narrowed his eyes at the doctor, before I saw his face turn into a frown, and he was suddenly getting up and walking out of my room. Not a word,

just storming from my room, leaving me suddenly alone and wondering what was going on.
