Chapter 0245
Judy’s POV
With Taylor’s help, the ambulance arrived in no time. I went with Nan to the hospital, and I sat in the waiting room while Taylor made some phone calls. My entire body was trembling and tears spilled out of my eyes. If only I had come check on her sooner. I didn’t see any physical wounds on her, besides the fact that she was so pale, and she had dark circles under her eyes. There weren’t any drug bottles, only beer bottles and only assortments of liquor. I wasn’t sure what could be wrong, but I was terrified.
I was thankful when I saw Elizabeth here as soon as we arrived. She assured me that she would personally look after my friend. After a quick kiss to Taylor, she left behind the EMTs who brought Nan into the emergency room. I’m not sure how long we sat in the waiting room, but soon, Taylor joined me once again.
“You don’t have to stay,” I told him. “I’m sure you are busy”
He s
shrugged one shoulder and leaned back in his seat.
“Well, part of my job right now is to look after you. So, that’s what I intend to do,” he glanced at him and I could see that he was serious.
told me t
“Why would you have to look after me?” I asked him.
Gavin is held up at work right now. He’s been behind on important matters while he cared for his daughter. Now that Alpha Levi is in the pack… there’s stuff he needs to deal with,” Taylor explained.
The way he explained this to me, made me wonder if he knew the truth about my relationship with Gavin. Had Gavin told him that we were sleeping together? Taylor didn’t look at me, instead, he was looking in front of him on the ground.
“I wasn’t really expecting Gavin to be here,” I murmured after a short pause.
“He wanted to be,” Taylor told me. “But instead, he told me to stay with you and to report anything I can.”
I nodded, chewing on my bottom lip. I wasn’t sure what to say to that; my relationship with Gavin had seemed rocky lately considering he was barely ever around anymore. He ignored me when he was around, so it surprised me to think that he even cared a little about what was going on right now. Maybe he was just putting on a show for Taylor or something.
The door of the emergency opened, and Eliza walked into the room. She looked tired and a bit distant, but when she saw her mate seated in the waiting room, her expression softened, and she looked a bit more relaxed. Sensing his presence helped her, Taylor immediately stood and went to his mate.
I watched him wrap her in his arms and hold her close. It made my heart squeeze to see them together; that was what a true mate looked like. Someone who cared and loved you no matter what. Someone who would be there for you during your darkest days. Someone you always wanted to be with, even when you are busy.
Eliza looked at me and I could see a little sadness in her eyes; it made the knot in my stomach tighten.
“She has alcohol poisoning,” Eliza told me, making me suck in a sharp intake of breath. “One or more of the drinks she had was expired. I just booked an OR, so I’m going to personally pump her stomach. Thankfully, you got her here when you did. She has a 90% chance of making it through.”
I let out a breath of relief.
“Thank Goddess..” I whispered.
“I’m about to do the surgery in a few minutes. I just wanted to update you. I’ll let you know in a couple of hours
