Chapter 133: Oh, He Will Suffer
(MILES)
When we get to Gaffney’s Memorial Hospital, I hurry out of the SUV and carefully get Arlo out of the car. I’m not patient enough to wait for the driver to go inside to get somebody to help him. That will take forever and I am chomping at the bit as it is. Sasha helping me to carry Arlo to the ER catches me off guard. I’d like to think that he changed his attitude towards Arlo, but I know that at this point, he is just trying to score some brownie points with me.
Or maybe he is just worried that I’ll let Tyler know how callous he was with Arlo.
Whatever his reason for helping me, I’m glad that he does because the nurses inside know him. In a few minutes, they have already scrambled and found a doctor. The doctor is an older alpha with red hair. He takes his time to observe Arlo’s stomach keenly.
"He got into a car accident," I say.
"Yeah, I have been informed so." The doctor sits up, looking grim. "I suspect that something ruptured inside of him. We need to find that out. We will need to operate."
"Will he be okay?" I ask, concerned. His diagnosis doesn’t come as much of a surprise though.
The doctor grimaces at my question. "that’s hard to say, we can’t tell what we are dealing with yet, we can only be sure if we open him up."
"He has to be okay." Sasha steps forward.
"He... he will be. I’ll operate on him myself and make sure that he is well taken care of." The doctor says, glancing at Sasha uneasily.
"That’s all I ask." He says, tugging a smile that doesn’t reach his eyes.
