Amber, who was very anxious to see Daniel seemed scared to even enter. She hated seeing him in pain. According to Doctor Patrick's little description to her, who she met in the corridor, he was injured badly.
"You know that I can feel you, right?" Came a weak voice from inside
Hearing that voice was such a relief for Amber; she released the breath she didn't know she was holding. If he can speak, that means that he will get better. Her fear subsidized a little. Now anger overtook her.
She opened the door with so much anger that Daniel knew what was to come. He could only heed her and apologize. "I am sorry, baby. I didn't mean to get hurt." Se stood there and just looked at him. All the pain, fear, and anger in her prompted all the waterworks out.
"Amber, please do not cry, love. I am fine. see." He lifted the hospital gown, and the wounds were indeed healing. However, this did not calm Amber. Her mind was racing, and her heart beating so fast. She could only imagine how much pain he must have been in. The scars were quite many, and he seemed weak. Cleaning her eyes, she walked over to him and hugged him tightly. The injured man on the bed could only endure the pain caused by the hug and smiled.
As long as his family was safe, Daniel was not scared of taking any risk, and he would do it all over again. He held her, brought her face close to him, and kissed her lips. He could see the dark circles around her eyes; even her hair was unkempt. His self-conscious woman to look this haggard meant that she might have been stressed and scared.
He could only blame himself. He pulled her into the sheets because she needed sleep. When Amber was pulled into his embrace, she finally breathed, and the rest came just as fast.
As he held her to sleep, he heard a knock at the door, and one of the guards came. He handed Daniel his phone and left immediately. Once he opened his phone, Daniel found over fifty plus missed calls and more text messages and could only look at Amber, whom he had cuddled and lowered his head to peck her forehead.
Looking at her more and her frail body, he could only conclude that she hadn't eaten. So he decided to call someone to send over some food for her.
Daniel is Alex's beta, and Amber is his mate. He met her when he was 20 and she 17. And they have been together for 7 years. She was his better half and the only person besides Alex who knew him like the back of his hand. So he was glad that he had found her earlier in life and cherished her as a promise he had kept.
His thought process was interrupted by a phone he answered immediately since it was Alex, and he didn't want to wake Amber. "Yes, Alpha."
"Dr. Patrick says that today is enough." Came Alpha Alex's voice, and Daniel could only roll his eyes.
Daniel could only agree, offering to leave the hospital later in the night as long as his girl could sleep longer. He hung up the phone and left the bed. He went to the bathroom to get dressed since he had slept enough. He looked at the scars scattered on his body and could only thank God for Alpha Alex's blood that healed him; otherwise, he would have died.
He knew why Alex wanted him to leave the hospital earlier than the doctor had stated. It was going to be a long night, indeed.
