Chapter 17- Dropped
Aurora:
(One month later)
"Hey, Phoenix. We have been looking for you," Doctor Jai started shaking his head once he spotted me in the cafeteria. He dumped his coffee cup on the table and pulled a chair for himself.
I was here watching a boring program on TV. My face was still covered with bandages, and they were planning to remove them today.
Doctor Jai was a sweetheart. He was the elder son of the pack’s former beta, but gave up his position to pursue his passion for treating others.
His Beta position was passed on to his younger brother, Brian, one of the two men who brought me to the pack hospital.
I stayed unconscious for one week, and after that, when they asked my name, I suddenly came up with the name Phoenix.
Delis was right. They believed my story when I told them I was the only one who survived the fire in my pack.
Jai was the most competitive doctor among all the packs in the North. According to him, the salve he put on my face before bandaging was so effective that I would be amazed once I looked in the mirror after getting rid of this tight thing wrapped around my face.
It only let me speak a few words, and I always took advantage of it whenever they asked me something that I couldn’t answer.
"Hungry?" he looked into my eyes and offered me his coffee cup, but I declined it with a shake of my head.
He knew I couldn’t take a sip or bite of food without using that tube that was specifically designed for cases like mine.
