Chapter 0249

I nibbled on my lower lip and nodded ; I didnt want to lie to him .

Yes , I admitted .

Are you okay ? He studied me for a moment , his eyes scanning my face to find out if I truly cared or not if he was okay .

Once he got the answer he needed , he let out a breath .

Yeah … shes going to make things complicated , he murmured .

She cant take no as an answer .

You did right by telling her there wasnt a chance , I told him .

No good would come from leading her on .

He nodded .

Yeah , I truly dont want to hurt anyone .

Im always upfront about my intentions .

I never thought that I would ever find my mate though … truthfully , I didnt think I even wanted a mate .

And now ? I prodded .

He was quiet for a moment , his eyes shifting from my face to the ground .

Im still not sure , he admitted .

But the second I saw her .

I knew I needed to see her again .

I cant let her go without talking to her first .

Harper was right , I dont know her .

I havent truly spoken to her .

If I let her go … it reject her … I would always regret not talking to her first .

I stared at him for a moment , trying to process his words .

Then , I nodded .

Okay … so what do you suggest ? I asked him .

Do you think you can have her come here ? He asked .

Maybe tonight ? I can talk to her and then we can decide together what to do .

I think I owe it to her to at least talk to her and include her in this decision after all .

Rejection could destroy her and her wolf if we arent on the same page about things .

I bit my lower lip , my heart aching for my best friend .

I agree that you owe that much to her , I told him .

But its going to have to wait until shes feeling up for it .

Shes in the hospital until tomorrow .

Chesters eyes shot to me and I watched as his face paled .

W … what ? He asked , straightening his body .

What are you talking about ? Shes in the hospital , I repeated , folding my arms across my chest .

She spent the last few days drinking and then one of the beers she had was expired .

She got alcohol poisoning .

She had surgery earlier and now shes recovering .noveldrama

I swear , Chester stopped breathing as he stared at me .

After what felt like a long time , I waved my hand in front of his face , he blinked a few times as if he was now just remembering where he was .

I need to see her , he said as he rushed past me .

Woah there , I said , grabbing his arm .

I think shes been through enough , Chester .

He whipped around to face me , his wolf at the surface and his eyes wild .

What ? He askde

I said , shes been through enough .

Let her rest , I repeated .

Ill bring her here tomorrow and then you can talk .

But for now , just let it go .

He stared at me for a moment longer and I thought he was poing to resist my request and leave .

But he surprised me by relenting .

He sighed and dropped his hands , groaning softly .

I patted him on the back .

Get some sleep , I told him .

Because tomorrow , we are going to get Nan from the hospital .

And you sir , are : driving .
