Alpha Killian looked at the girl whose gaze was neutral, unwavering, unsympathetic, and more importantly, unloving.
For a second, it was hard for him even to recognise the girl. Was she the sa girl who would jump at any opportunity to be close to him and help him?
It was becoming increasingly clear to him that she wasn’t in love with him anymore, that she wasn’t aiming to beco his wife, and that she no longer craved his love and attention. The realization bit him, hurting him slowly.
He took a deep, shaky breath when he looked at his beta’s pleading eyes.
"What conditions?" He asked.
Alia looked around before pointing to a random woman from his pack.
"Only she will be in the room with when I treat Caroline. I am allowing her because I don’t want you guys to bla if anything happens. She would be my alibi that I did everything with pure intentions of saving her. No one, and I an no one, will be allowed to enter. Is that okay?" She asked.
Alpha Killian humd.
Then Alia stepped ahead and walked to the doctor.
"You should be with so herbs. Please arrange these for as quickly as possible. One mistake and I’ll behead you myself," Alia looked at the man with a stern gaze.
The middle-aged man looked at his alpha, who nodded with gritted teeth.
"Good. I will happily take the case then," Alia said and walked to the hospital room in which Caroline was lying, sweat rolling from the corner of her face as she scread in pain.
Her gaze wavered a little when she saw Caroline hiding her belt protectively as she bled.
If this continued, she would bleed to death.
Alia allowed the woman and then closed the room tentatively.
She asked the woman to make a paste of the herbs as she placed the hot water on the side and wet the towels.
"Here, this will help. Keep chewing them. Don’t swallow them under any circumstances. Do you hear ?" Alia asked.
Caroline nodded her head, looking at Alia as if begging for rcy and help.
"Please save my child even if you can’t save ," She pleaded.
Alia didn’t say anything to her.
She continued her work and then urged Caroline to push.
When she saw Caroline wouldn’t be able to do it, she asked the Gynae and operating doctor to enter.
The operation started, and she kept rubbing those herbs on her wounds so that the healing wouldn’t shift to those wounds and instead focus on the delivery of the baby, along with keeping it safe.
After a rigorous hour of hard work, the baby was finally delivered and put in an incubator cell.
The mother and baby were safe.
She took a deep breath. As a certified healer who knew a few operating techniques, she could have perford the operation herself. Still, she didn’t want to take any chances, as the operation itself was a bit complicated.
Once done, Alia gave Caroline so more herbs.
"For the next eleven days, please chew these herbs when you are feeding the baby. Don’t swallow. We can’t give these herbs to the baby directly. He will feed through you," Alia said, and exited the hospital.
Jonas looked at Alia, and once she confird the baby and the mother were okay, he fell to his knees.
"Thank you. I will forever owe you. After the death of her husband, this baby was all she got, and she is my only family mber," Jonas said.
Alia looked at the man. She rembered how she had been unable to save the baby last ti. It wasn’t her fault, but they blad her for it, and Jonas personally made her life a living hell, aiding Hannah in many sches.
Though his hatred drew him to the evil path, it didn’t an she could forgive him so easily.
Thus, when he showed gratitude in this manner, she just couldn’t bring herself to smile at him.
"Send the money to my account. I am sure you have it," she said to Alpha Killian.
As she was about to leave, she suddenly rembered sothing.
"Was Hannah here earlier?" She asked.
Alpha Killian shook his head.
"She was busy with sothing, and thus, couldn’t co," he said.
A hint of mockery appeared on her face.
"So you did plead with her first," She scoffed and left with Uncle Harrison.
Alpha Killian stood rooted in his place.
His fists were clenched by his side. He was finally starting to realise all the tis he had chosen to trust others over Alia, all the tis he had favoured others and pushed her away.
And maybe all this realization ca all too late. It didn’t matter anymore. He sighed and comforted his beta before entering the hospital to see the blessed baby, who saw a shimr of Alia’s kindness that was forbidden to him.
Alia, on the other hand, furrowed her brows when she sat inside the car.
Hannah didn’t even bother to co here to see how things went, or ruin her plans. Unlike last ti, she wasn’t interested in matters related to Alpha Killian anymore.
Why? Has she realised that she wasn’t going to gain anything by staying by Alpha Killian’s side? That he wasn’t a useful pawn against her anymore?
Alia wondered, feeling troubled.
There was no way she was ready to believe that Hannah let go of her animosity towards her and her plans to snatch everything away from her.
And if she didn’t bother to co and ruin things for her here, it only ant she was aiming for a bigger ga.
This ant that the tiline and events of the past were changing slowly this ti, which ant things would beco increasingly unpredictable.
Alia thinned her lips and looked out of the window towards the passing trees in the night.
As the car moved, she suddenly felt like she saw soone standing in the shadows watching her. What was worse was that it almost seed as though the shadow was driving with their car.
Alia shook her head and turned on her phone, wanting to distract herself.
After a few seconds, she looked out again, and this ti, she didn’t see anything; she breathed in relief.
"I am back," Alia said to Miss Quinn, who was sleeping near the couch, and the head maid imdiately woke up.
She looked at her in concern.
"Are you okay, Princess? That bad alpha didn’t do anything to you, right?" she asked hurriedly, checking for any wounds.
Alia shook her head.
"Don’t worry about it, Miss Quinn. Would he dare to do anything to now after knowing who the king is?" Alia assured the lady before ascending the stairs.
Once inside the room, she threw her cardigan on the bed and was about to take off her dress when she paused.
She looked at the jade bangles in her hand and noticed how they were glowing in the dark.
The glow from the bangles shone even brighter in her eyes.
"Alia," She heard a whisper around herself and turned towards the window, her eyes widening at the sight.
