Chapter 236
Chapter 236:
She huffed. “I’ll be leaving, then. I’ll come check on you later.” She left with the kids, who had already hugged Jaris when he arrived.
“How is she?” he asked the doctor.
“Better than yesterday, Alpha. A few more days and she’ll be completely fine p>
A few more days. That sounded like days of torture to me.
The doctor finished up and left, leaving me alone with him.
“Is there something you need?” His cold eyes on me gave me goosebumps. I could still see that he was pissed.
“I already ate. Thank you.” There was a slight pause. “But I—I need my phone. Was it on me when you found me p>
He opened the drawer and took it out. “It was in the car p>
Taking the phone from him, I made a mental note to call Jace and have him reach out to Penelope for me since I couldn’t move around for now.
Just as the thought crossed my mind, someone knocked on the door. Jaris answered it and found a guard.
“We have Jace Ashford at the gate, Alpha. He’s been making a scene and insists on coming in. We wanted to know how to proceed. Should we have him locked up and punished p>
My eyes widened in panic. Jace was at the gate p>
“No. He shouldn’t be here when he’s been banished p>
Jaris glanced back at me, seeing the panic on my face. In that moment, I feared what he’d do.
“L-Let me talk to him. Please. I’m sure he’s just worried and here to see me p>
“He is not supposed to be here. Rules are rules p>
“I know! But please!” I tried to leave the bed in a rush and ended up hurting myself. I grunted and hissed as I fell back on the bed.
“Damn it, Lyric! Will you stop moving?” Jaris snapped.

I forced myself to stay still. “I will. But please, don’t hurt him. Just let me talk to him, please p>
Fortunately for me, Jaris listened. I was very surprised he actually did. Minutes later, Jace ran into the room. Jaris wasn’t in anymore, so it was just the two of us.
He was both shocked and pissed at the condition he found me in. He said Kael was the one who told him this morning. He was so worried that he damned all consequences and came to see me.
“This is all fucked up. I mean, why the hell would that bastard attack you simply because you’re Jaris’ mate? If he has a problem with his brother, why doesn’t he go confront him?” Jace didn’t stop grumbling.
It took a lot of time and effort to get him to stop talking about the issue and focus on something else.
I decided I might need help since I wanted to stay back despite the threat on my head. Jace was the only one I could confide in, so I told him about the whole Executioner incident from yesterday.
