One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Chapter 194 Audrey

Not even an hour had passed before Edwin and I were bursting to the hospital, racing through the sterile white halls toward my mother's room.

If I had had it my way, we would have been here even sooner, but when I had leaped out of bed and run straight for the apartment door, Edwin had reminded me that I was wearing nothing more than his oversized t-shirt, and it was freezing cold outside.

I wouldn't have cared if I'd gotten frostbite. All I cared about was my mother.

We burst into the room she was in, both of us breathless and frantic.

I collapsed as soon as I saw her laying there.

"M-Mom..." I choked out, my knees buckling beneath me. The sight of her, so still and pale and h**ed up to all those tubes and machines, sent a wave of dizziness through me. Edwin caught me before I hit the floor, his strong arms supporting me against his

chest.

The door opened behind us, and a stern-faced doctor in a white lab coat stepped into view. "Miss Klein," he said, nodding his head respectfully. "Alpha Brooks. I'm Dr. Winters, the one you spoke to earlier." I nodded numbly, unable to respond, unable to even tear my eyes away from my mother long enough to look at the doctor.

"What happened?" Edwin asked for me, knowing that I couldn't speak.

The doctor sighed as he flipped through his chart. "Luna Klein came in late last night complaining of abdominal pain. The pain worsened rapidly, and she soon developed a fever and other severe symptoms." Edwin's hand tightened on my shoulder. "Did you figure out what was causing the symptoms?"

The doctor hesitated for a moment before continuing, his eyes flickering between us. "During our tests, we found traces of silver in her system."

I felt the blood drain from my face, a cold dread settling in my stomach. Only then could I manage to choke out a few words. "Silver? But... That's..." "Fatal to werewolves when ingested

or inserted into the body, yes," the doctor finished

Fiona's lip curled in a sneer, her gaze sweeping dismissively over Edwin. "You're blinded by your mate bond, Edwin," she growled. "I know she did this, and I'll prove it! With that, she stormed out of the room, the door slamming shut behind her. The sound echoed in the sudden silence, punctuated
