Alex rushed back into the hospital hoping to catch up with Azrael Herrington and warn him to not talk about the kiss to anyone, however, she ran into someone as she rushed in.
She saw that the person was wearing a lab coat and also an expensive pair of black shoes made of crocodile leather.
She slowly lifted her head only for her eyes to meet with that of Dr. Reece Cont. This was the same doctor who attended to her on the day she came here with the back injury. She wondered why Azrael felt wary of him.
As her eye met with that of Dr. Reece Cont, she saw that he was smiling.
"You're Alex right...? Your boyfriend didn't allow us to finish our discussion the last time. Did you find a good ointment for your back?" Dr. Reece Cont asked as he continued to smile at Alex in a creepy manner.
Alex started to feel weirded out by the Doctor, but that didn't stop her from responding.
"Yes... but He is not my... uffff...doesn't matter, I got a good ointment...thank you..."
"I have a good cream that can both improve your skin tone and also help you heal any scars. If you will give me your house address, I can mail it to you..." The Doctor spoke with a serious tone.
He was staking everything on this move. He was hoping that she won't dilly-dally any longer since Azrael wasn't around to stop her.
Alex was a bit skeptical, but then, she thought, 'He just wants to mail it to me, what's the harm?'
She then looked up at him and responded after glancing at the floor for a few seconds. "I stay in the YA SUN Estate, at the Alex Bayly residence"
"Oh-kay, thank you... " The doctor said in ecstasy
"Uhhhh, why are you thanking me...?" Alex Bayly asked in confusion.
"Uhm, I mean, thank you for your time, so I will send the cream over..." The doctor responded.
"Why send it over, why not just give me now?" Alex Bayly asked in confusion.
"Uhhh, it's not available for now until later tonight... so when it is available it would be delivered. .. Alright, I'll be taking my leave now, I have a few patients to attend to..." The doctor gave a quick half-hearted bow and walked away after completing his statement.
Underneath his gentlemanly behavior was a creepy smile that Alex Bayly couldn't see. He had gotten what he wanted and Alex couldn't help but be suspicious.
'Have I made a grave mistake by telling this guy where I live? Have I not just invited disaster...' Alex Bayly started to walk towards the receptionist's desk as she thought things through.
As soon as she got to the receptionist's desk, she found them giggling and whispering into each other's ears.
"I came with the proprietor's daughter and the other guy, do you know what room they are in...?" Alex Bayly asked as she tried to ignore their odd behaviors and laughter.
One of the nurses cleared her throat and folded her arms together. "Lovely Miss, you and your boyfriend are so adorable, I'm rooting for the both of you. He even pulled you out to give you a quick kiss, we saw it on the CCTV camera, don't worry we won't tell anyone.. by the way, you will take the west wing, and turn to your right, he is in room 340 on the fourth floor... P.S...You don't have to pretend with us...."
The nurse said everything in her mind without hiding a single detail and Alex became very worried. For a while she couldn't respond, she just looked on like a zapped beast.
She tried to form a smile but it came out all wrong like someone with Bell's palsy. She turned and started moving towards the left wing without saying a word.
Her heart was beating fast as if it would explode, but she didn't even bother to look back. She just kept moving in the direction she had set her mind to.
She entered an elevator on the east wing and found a young boy of about 8 years there. She went ahead to press the button that showed the number "4" signifying the fourth floor.
The boy protested on seeing that, "No, I'm going to the 6th floor, change it now while I'm being nice... sexy lady...." The boy smiled a little and then frowned
"I am going to the 4th floor, when we get there you could change it easily." Alex Bayly spoke gently and bent to the height of the child.
"I said no, bitch, are you deaf...? I want the sixth floor" The boy folded his hands in protest.
"What's your name...? I am Alex Bayly..." Alex Responded, ignoring his rude tone.
She suddenly noticed that the boy started to shift back. There was real fear written all over his face. You would think he had seen his worst nightmare.
"You're the Kannais... please don't kill me... Please... I didn't know you are the Kannais... I don't want any trouble... " The boy started to weep seriously and even Alex was startled.
"Why are you crying and are you also..... a Werewolf...?" Alex discovered his identity.
The boy nodded, "The Alpha has said you will be his bride and that no one is allowed to speak to you in any rude way let alone touch you. The penalty is death. Please I didn't know you were the Kannais, please don't tell the alpha... I.."
Alex tried to walk closer to the boy but he shifted back in fear. His fearful state was even startling to Alex, he was like a cornered beast.
"I'm guessing the Alpha you're referring to is Alpha Zuck Danesworth. Don't worry, I'm not marrying him and besides, you should talk to people nicely not because they are the Kannais or not but because it's the right thing to do okay....?" Alex asked the boy and he nodded subsequently.
"What's your name...?" Alex asked again.
"Jerome Ings, please don't tell the Alpha..." The boy said.
"Your secret is safe with me..." Alex said with a smile. Almost immediately the alarm sounded indicating that they had arrived on the fourth floor and the elevator door opened.
Alex walked out and turned back to the boy, she waved, but the boy didn't wave back, he quickly pressed a button and the door closed and the elevator started going down instead of up, the boy was leaving the hospital.
Alex was puzzled as to why the boy was so fearful. She wondered what Zuck Danesworth must have been doing in her name to make a member of his pack so afraid.
She shrugged and started to walk toward room 340.
She got to the room door and pushed it open, she entered and found Azrael seated by the bedside of Cassandra Dean, staring at her unconscious figure.
Azrael turned towards the door and saw Alex staring at him.
."Alex..." He said with a tone filled with love.
Alex Bayly looked at him and shook her head. "No one is around so you've dropped the honorifics," Alex said with a smile.
"By the way, don't tell anyone about the kiss..." Alex added as she started to walk inside. At this moment, a voice sounded from Cassandra who was supposed to be unconscious. "You kissed her?"
Azrael and Alex both looked at Cassandra in shock as she sat up on the hospital bed.
"Shit..." Both Alex and Azrael said in unison.
