Chapter 0280

My heart dropped into my stomach as I looked at my leg and saw the bulky cast on it .

This was not good .

I glanced around , frantic for a time .

Maybe there was time for this to heal and Ill be okay before the competition .

Its almost morning .

Weve been here for several hours , he explained , I nearly let out a choked sob from what he had said .

It was almost morning , which meant I had no time for this to heal .

I was doomed .

I was going to get disqualified or male a fool out of myself .

This was my one shot at making an impression and I was about to fail it .

Before he could say anything more , the doctor came into the room Miss Judy , youll have to stay off it for the next 24 to 48 lurs .

Your wolf will start the healing process now that we reset it properly , the doctor said , giving me a fond smile .

I also gave you some medicine to help heal you faster .

Thank you , I said to him , grateful that he was able to help me , but not so grateful that I was not going to be okay by the competition .

He nodded and then bowed at Gavin before , leaving the room Are you going to actually listen to him and stay off it ? Gayin asked , raising his brows at me .

1 pressed my lips together .

Doesnt look like I have a choice , I muttered .

No , you dont , he said , his tone low and hidden with a quiet threat .

I have business I need to get done today .

Im trusting that youll stay here .

He stood and started to walk away .

Did you stay with me all night ? I asked him , stopping him from getting any further .

What ? Did you stay with me all night ? I asked again , more loudly this time .

He was quiet for a moment longer before his eyes found mine from over his shoulder .

Yes , he replied .

he Why ? My v My voice came out as a whisper ; I hated that tears were burning in my eyes .

I didnt want him to see me as weak right now , I didnt need him pitying me .

I didnt want you to wake up alone .

With those words in the air between us , he turned and walked out of the room .

I kept my eyes glued on the door he just walked through , wondering where he was going and what kind of business he had .

Did it involve the competition ? Should I be involved in this business too ? I groaned knowing that I couldnt do anything about it because I was lying in a hospital bed , helpless … weak .

The door flew open and soon , Nan was rushing into the room .

We listed each other as emergency contacts when we checked in , so the doctor called me after you got out of surgery to update me , she told me as she threw her arms around me .

I think I blew the competition , I said , tears spilling out of my eyes and down my cheeks .

I had been holding in these tears for some time now and I was relieved to finally be able to release them .

No … no , you still have a chance , Nan said as she hugged me ; I knew she was just trying to make me feel better , but I didnt .

My ankle is broken , and it wont be fixed for another 24 hours , I cried .

I was supposed to start today .noveldrama

We will figure it out , she whispered .

We spent some time talking and eventually , thanks to the pain medication the doctor gave me , I ended up falling asleep .

This time when I woke up , it was because of a strange presence wafted into the room as the door opened .

I opened my eyes and looked over at the man walking towards me .

It was Beta Ron .

A second later , Nan came rushing into the room as well and my eyes dropped at the sight of her smile .

Whats going on ? I asked , staring between the two of them .

She came to us and explained that you were injured and couldnt compete until tomorrow , Beta Ron said , glancing at his clipboard with a frown .

We switched you with another person so you can compete tomorrow morning instead .

Are you serious ?? I asked my hope in my throat , waiting to burst .

Beta Ron nodded .

Yeah , and you have this one to thank for that .

She was persistent , Ron muttered .

He turned and left the room .

Nan squealed and hugged me .

I couldnt believe this … I was going to compete , and nothing was standing in my way this time .

Thank you , Nan , I breathed as I hugged her back .

I told you , we got this , she replied .

She was right ; we got this .
