Pregnant and Rejected by My Alpha Mate

#Chapter 140 – Odette Puts Her Foot Down

Odette

“Dr, will Selene be all right?” I ask worriedly, speaking in hushed tones so as not to be overheard.

“She’s still unconscious.” Dr Kane replies, “She needs rest, and we’re still waiting on her lab work, but she’s young and healthy. As long as she takes care of herself she should be fine.”

“Is there anything we can do to help her?” I press.

“Keep an eye on her, I know she’s very ill, but you’ve got to get as much food and water into her as possible, even when she doesn’t want anything.” He instructs.

“But won’t that make her sick more often?” I fret, wringing my hands.

“I know it sounds terrible, but it’s about net gain. The more she takes in, the more nutrients she retains, even if she’s bringing the majority back up.” Dr Kane explains with an apologetic from.

“Thank you.” I say, pushing the unpleasant images from my mind. What he’s saying makes sense, I just don’t want to picture it. After he moves away I turn on my heel and stomp around the corner to where Aiden and Donavon wait.

Though both men stand at least a head taller than me, in that moment they look positively tiny. Donavon clears his throat. “Bastien told us to shield her from anything she didn’t need to know – so that she wouldn’t be stressed.”

“And you think she didn’t need to know he would fall out of contact?” | scoff. “That you had no plans in place to reconnect with him in the future? You don’t think knowing that in advance and having time to come to terms with that would have helped her?”

“We didn’t think
