Chapter 0250
Third Person POV
Nan felt ridiculously embarrassed about getting alcohol poisoning
She had spent days locked up in her one bedroom apartment, shielding away from the world, drinking, She’s been ignoring her best friend completely and she felt bad about that. She felt even worse when she found out that it was her best friend who found her in that state and brought her to the hospital. Her stomach twisted as the fiddled with the blanket that covered her.
She had a slight headache and a stomach. Not to mention a broken heart.
“Good morning, Nan,” one of the nurses sald as she walked into the room. “How are you feeling today?” Nan recognized her as the nurse who assisted her last night. She looked tired, mostly finished up with her overnight shift
“Like I just got my stomach pumped,” Nan murmured, touching her fingers to her belly and wincing at the tender
wound.
“Your wolf should heal you in no time,” the nurse assured her. “You drank so much that even your wolf was a little intoxicated. That’s quite impressive.”
Nan thought about all she had to drink, and she shuddered.
She felt guilty about doing that to her own wolf, but she just needed to numb away the pain for a little while. Her wolf was also in agony over the fact that their mate was a total playboy. First, he took Becky out on a date, and now he was making out with someone in the kitchen of Gavin Landry’s mansion.
He knew Judy because he was in the mansion she’d been living at.
Why would Judy keep something like this from her?
Then, Nan felt stupid for that thought. Why would Judy tell her anything about Chester? She had no idea that he was her mate.
“I wanted to give you this number,” the nurse said, handing Nan a small note.
On the paper, it said: Dr. Hoover, along with their phone number.
“Who is this?” Nan asked, peeking up at the nurse.
“Dr. Hoover is a psychiatrist and she’s one of the best,” the nurse said, surprising Nan.
“I don’t need a psychiatrist,” Nan said, trying to give the nurse the note back but the nurse only shook her head and waved off her concern.
“Something drove you to drink so much that you nearly killed your wolf in the process,” the nurse told her, her frown deepening. “When you came in yesterday, your wolf was so weak, I didn’t think she was going to make it through. You really should talk to someone about whatever you are going through. You were found alone and I’m worried that it could kill you and your wolf if it happens again.”
Nan wanted to tell her that it wasn’t the drinking that almost killed her wolf. It was the fact that she was heartbroken over their mate. It made her weaker and she was caught off guard; there was nothing more to it. But she was also embarrassed over the fact that she was basically rejected without the actual words being said.
Nan pressed her lips in a thin line and forced a small smile at the nurse to show her that she was truly okay. But even she knew it didn’t reach her eyes, and it only made the nurse more concerned.

“Thanks,” Nan finally said, putting the phone number on the small table next to the bed.
The nurse nodded and gave her a reassuring smile.
“You’ll be getting discharged today. I already called your friend, Judy. She’s going to come and get you.”
Nan glanced up at the woman.
“You called Judy?” She asked. She wasn’t sure she could face her best friend right now, but she knew she had to get home somehow and if she were to call anyone herself, it would also be Judy.
“Yes,” the nurse said simply. “She was adamant that she be the first that I call once you are ready to be discharged. Plus, she had Gavin Landry on her side, and I couldn’t deny him even if I wanted to.”
Gavin knew about this too?
Could this get any worse?
Without another word, the nurse left, leaving Nan alone with her thoughts. She stared up at the ceiling, feeling a bit dizzy and overwhelmed. She could feel her wolf stirring around inside of her, she was still heartbroken and couldn’t seem to stop thinking about their mate.
Her wolf was healing her wound, despite the pain she faced and within the next hour, it didn’t feel as if her stomach had been pumped at all. She sighed in relief, finally feeling strong enough to stand up. She stood to her feet, nearly falling over in the process. She just wanted to use the bathroom and brush her teeth. She felt disgusting and needed a little normalization in her life.
She noticed a small bag of her things, which included extra clothes, undergarments, and toiletries. She knew her toothbrush must be in the mix as well; this to–go bag had Judy written all over it. She smiled at the thought of her friend caring for her while she was out of it. She truly didn’t deserve such a great friend.
