The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 178

Chapter 180

After countless hours of darkness, Alex's eyes finally fluttered open.

A dull ache pulsed through his entire body.

"Alex, you're awake?"

The relief in Kelly's voice practically echoed off the sterile Hospital walls.

Her eyes were brimming with unshed tears, and before he knew what was happening, she latched onto him in a fierce hug.

"You had me scared half to death," she whispered, voice trembling. "Don't ever pull something like that again."

Alex gave a weak chuckle, trying to shift into a more comfortable position.

"I'm fine, Kelly. Quit looking at me like I'm about to keel over any second. Where... where am I?"

Before Kelly could respond, the door swung open with a loud click.

Jasmine glided in, followed by Lyra, each looking polished and stunning in their own right.

"Alex!" Jasmine exclaimed, her tone tinged with urgency. She rushed to his bedside. "Thank God you're alright. We were worried."

Alex offered her a faint smile. "Little banged up, but I'll live."

Jasmine's gaze flickered to Kelly, who was still clinging to Alex like a lifeline.

"Ahem,"

Jasmine began, not even attempting to hide the edge in her voice. "Kelly, don't you think you've squeezed the life out of him enough? He's injured, not a teddy bear."

"Exactly," Lyra chimed in, crossing her arms. "He needs rest. Preferably without someone suffocating him."

Their words immediately elevated the tension in the room-like striking a match near a powder keg.

Kelly whipped her head around, shooting daggers at Lyra. "You got a problem with the way I take care of him?"

"Take care of him? Honey, you're practically crushing him," Lyra retorted, arching a perfectly shaped brow.

A hostile silence stretched thin and taut between the three women.

Jealous sparks ignited in the air, crackling with a challenge that Alex could practically feel rippling across his skin.

Then, in the worst possible timing, the door opened again revealing the hospital doctor.

He took one look at the trio glaring at each other over Alex's wounded body and faltered, clearing his throat. "Um, ladies, if I could just-"
