The Love of a Lycan Chapter 431 – EIGHT YEARS OLD (2)

There were three nurses that came toward Kace and asked what they could do to help him, even asked if he was hurt somewhere.

Lana shook the remaining snow on her body and scoffed loudly, didn’t even bother to hide the disgust on her face, when she heard that. From their eyes, she knew what the things that had drawn them toward Kace. 

Good look was really an asset…

Lana then helped Kace to unwrap Hope from behind his back and as the other people watched them, they were gasping loudly when they saw a little girl from behind him, wearing thick jacket and blanket. 

Immediately, one of the nurse took stretcher with her and let Kace put Hope on it, at this time, the little girl clutched onto him tightly. 

She didn’t want to be far from him. 

“Kace…” She whined unconsciously, her brows furrowed as her eyes shut, her expression showed how much pain that she was enduring now.

This sight made the beast whimpered. 

“I am here baby. I am here…” Kace put her down, but Hope grabbed his sleeves and curled her body while hugging her hands.

Together with the three nurses, Kace followed inside the emergency room with Lana followed closely behind them. 

============== 

It took less than two hours to give Hope a thorough check. 

After some injection, they put IV drips on her and wore an identity bracelet on her other hands, for now they let her stay inside a personal ward. 

Kace was sitting on the chair beside Hope’s bed, staring at his mate pale complexion with concern was written all over his face.

A nurse just came a while ago to take a sample of Hope’s blood and left afterward. 

“Kace, you need to take a rest.” Lana tried to pull him from his reverie. “I am sorry that I didn’t take look after her well and cause this.”

There was remorse in her voice and to hear Lana apologize was a very rare occasion. This girl was very stubborn and cold- hearted, yet the way she took care of Hope was beyond Kace’s expectation. 

Who knows, someone like Lana could be so gentle to the little girl? Maybe because she had a bad experience as a child, thus she didn’t want the same thing happened to Hope, who didn’t have parents just like her. 

After the examination and injection, Hope’s breaths turned even, though she looked still weak, but at least she didn’t cry in pain anymore. 

“No, it’s not your fault.” Kace shook his head and let out a deep sigh. He then stood up and faced Lana. 

The little girl that he met eight years ago had grown up into a beautiful woman without him knowing it, because most of the time that Kace visited Hope, he would put all of his attention on his little mate, forgetting all the things around him. 

Furthermore, Lana would be absent, going somewhere to leave Kace and Hope alone. 

Therefore, only now that Kace realized that Lana had become taller than the last time he remembered. 

Kace put his hand on top of Lana’s head and tousled her hair. The stubborn and brazen little girl from years ago had turned out to be like this. The thing that Kace like the most from her was the fierceness in those brown eyes.

“You have grown up.” Kace said as he put down his hand and walked toward the door. “I will buy something for us, there is something that you want?”

“Huh?” Lana stuttered and whipped her head toward Kace. “I… no. I don’t need anything. Thanks.” For some reason, she became nervous.

Lana wanted to curse at herself for her stupid reaction, she thought Kace would laugh at her or became suspicious, yet he just waved his hand and walked out of the room while saying; he would be back in ten minutes. 

Once the door was closed, Lana clutched the front of her shirt, where her thumping heart was beating loudly. 

She could feel the heat that crept on her face and her neck, it was so lucky of her that Kace didn’t see her in this kind of state or else…

Or else…

Lana bit her bottom lips nervously and touched her head where Kace had tousled her before…

This is not good…

=============== 

“Don’t give me that look.” Kace groaned as he raised his head from Hope’s bed.

He was tired and his aching head didn’t help his case, but he refused to leave Hope’s bedside and chose to sleep there, which definitely wasn’t the best sleep that he ever had.

His large body bent in strange way.

Actually, he had smelled him when she was still walking outside the corridor and had guessed this would be the scene that would be unfolded the moment the witch was here.

“Why did you bring her here?” Serefina cold voice travelled to Kace’s ears when he rubbed the tiredness from his eyes.

“Don’t you see? She is sick!” Kace hissed menacingly at the witch. What kind of question that she spewed?

“That wasn’t the point!” Serefina shook her head in frustration, her lime green eyes skimmed the room briefly. 

Hope was still sleeping after a doctor change her IV drips and injected sedative into it, so she could take a rest while Lana curled her body on the sofa with a covered her body. 

“Wake up!” Serefina flicked her fingers to wake her up. 

As if electrocuted, Lana immediately opened her eyes and looked at her surrounding in alert. 

“You don’t have to do that.” Kace frowned. 

However, Serefina ignored him as she talked hastily. “Stay awake when we leave.” Afterward, she ushered Kace out of the ward. 

Lana blinked her eyes in confusion when they caught a sight of the blanket on her body. She didn’t remember wear one before.

“What is it?!” Kace swatted Serefina’s hand on him irritably. 

“Did you let them to take her blood?” Serefina didn’t stop as she walked along the corridor hastily. 

Kace’s eyes flickered with surprise. “Yes.”
