Chapter 59: Chapter 59
“Mr. Buffay really cares about you, Katherine,” Markus said to me, “as our Alpha, it is very risky for him to risk his life like this.”
The doctors had left, but Athan was still resting. The mobilization drug made him extremely uncomfortable, but he smiled at me the whole time during the session. I knew everything Markus said, I felt it, I enjoyed it, but I would soon break his heart.
God, even thinking of it made me suffocating.
I walked in his room, and sat on the side of his bed. His eyes were closed, and there were sweats on his forehead. Even when he was in discomfort, he looked manly and so attractive. I couldn’t help myself but stroke my fingers on his face, his chiseled jaws and great hair. Suddenly, he grabbed my fingers and opened his eyes. His eyes were laughing, with tenderness, and his voice was deep: “hey love.”
His smile made me smile, “how are you feeling now, Athan?”
“Hmm… not the best,” he laughed, and winked his eyes to me: “but if you can stay here tonight, I’m sure I will feel a lot better.”
He opened his arms toward me and tapped the bed, that’s an invitation for me to join. I lied in his arms, closed my eyes, “Athan, thank you. Thank you for… everything.”
He kissed on the back of my head, and rubbed his palm on my shoulders, “just remember that I would do anything for you, Katherine.”
A tear slipped from the corner of my eye and disappeared on the bed sheet, thankfully that I had my back to him so he couldn't see my face.
…
The next morning, the medical team came on time to inject mobilization drugs for Athan. When I walked out of the room, I saw that both sides looked serious, and Markus even said something to Athan angrily.
“What’s wrong? Is everything okay?”I asked.
“Don’t worry, everything is fine.” Athan smiled at me and turned to the doctor: “you may start.”
Just when I was about to ask more, I saw the doctor took out double the amount of drugs from yesterday.
“Wait, why does he need more drugs?” I walked forward and asked in hurry, “Athan, what is happening?”
“Mr. Buffay’s body has been rejecting the mobilization drug,” the doctor sighed and said: “we think it’s because he is a werewolf, so his body is very resistant to injectable drugs…”
I got more confused, they knew Athan’s true identity?
“Oh don’t worry, we have been serving Mr. Buffay for years, and we have all signed nondisclosure agreements.” The doctor explained to me.
“Mr. Buffay, my apologies,” Markus bowed and said seriously, “your health is very important to everyone, please don’t risk it. Please give me a couple of days, and I will find Jack Harden a new donor…”
Athan raised his and stopped Markus from talking: “Markus, I know that you are worried, but I know my body, I will be fine. Besides, we don’t have time to find another person, he needs the transplant as soon as possible.”
My heart clenched with guilt, "Athan..." I looked at him, and I didn’t know what to say. I am literally the worst person in the world, I took advantage of him and lied to him, while he was risking his life for me…
“It’s okay love,” he smiled gently, “come and hold my hands, and I will feel better.”
Athan, I am so, so sorry. I don’t deserve you… I clenched my fist and tried my hardest from bursting tears.
Over the next four days, Athan completed all injections, and on the fifth day doctors collected hematopoietic stem cells from him. I went with his medical team when they delivered the cells, and I met with Dr. Sinn – Jack’s doctor. He was very glad, and chatted with me about the Jack and the coming up transplant surgery.
“Our medical technology is the most advanced in the country, so don't worry, your husband will be fine.” He said that while walking me out, Jack’s ward was not far from his office, and he asked: “Jack should be awake right now, the nurse just took him back from a full body check. You can go see him if you want.”
After I thanked him, I stood at the door of Jack's ward.
He was reading a book, frowning slightly. He was pale, and a long illness had made him very thin and weak. However, his eyes have never changed, always so elegant and clear. But honestly I didn’t know how to face with him at the moment.
I didn’t blame him, love makes people brave, but also makes people cruel. While he was forcing me, he was also pushing himself to the edge. I didn't deserve much love in the first place. I was born alone and abandoned countless times. However, Jack has never abandoned me or despised me. I owe him so much, so if I could save his life, I wouldn't hesitate. Even if that means I have to leave the man that I love.
I quietly left the door of his ward and walked out of the hospital building. My phone rang, picked up the phone, and it was the real estate agent I had contacted.
"Miss Green, I've found the best apartment for you, when are you free to come and see it?"
“I can come over right now,” I said to her, “please prepare the contract, I would like to sign it if it’s suitable, and I will move in as soon as possible.”
