Chapter 82: A date with you
"Is it planned?" Kayden asked as he pulled upward the knot of the stitch with the tweezers. He cut the tread and carefully pulled the broken stitch away from the skin. Once again, he was the one treating his cousin because his cranky behavior was scaring away the nurses.
"What do you mean?" Azrael asked, feigning ignorance. Knox excused himself saying he’d visit a friend, so Azrael agreed.
Now, inside Kayden’s office was only him and the doctor. Kayden crumpled his face at the fake innocence. He cut a strip of medical tape and put it over the wound before wrapping Azrael’s palm in gauze again. "You know damn well what I’m talking about. Your phone kept ringing but you never answered. You didn’t even let Diva enter even when she visited you. You’re acted as if you know who we’ll turn to if you keep your stint. Gosh, Azrael, you’re so childish. You could have called Knox directly, why pretend like you’re dying over some cuts?"
Kayden put a bit of strength in the final wrap which made Azrael winced and glared at him. The doctor quickly apologized, albeit insincerely, "Sorry, sorry. It’s done. Keep it wrapped and dry. After the first day, rinse the area with clean water and avoid putting pressure or pouring alcohol on it. If it reopened, come back. And burn this to that thick head of yours, Azi, stop acting recklessly. You’re not some invincible thug."
"Tsk. I know. Enough of the nagging. Diva already kicked me after I went to their house and talked with her parents," Azrael stood.
Kayden tidied the medical kit while asking, "So, is it official, then?"
From the triumphant smile crossing Azrael’s face, Kayden could already tell the answer. He shook his head and stood, taking the kit to his assistant nurse’s desk. "I’m surprised Uncle Rage just let it happen."
"I don’t think he’d stop just like that," Azrael answered with displeasure. "That old man will pull some strings to put me back on acting his play."
"Then, make sure you’re protecting Knox, Azi. Getting involved with you is already troublesome. If your father knows about him, he might be in danger," Kayden replied, giving his cousin a serious look. He was worried that the poor omega would be dragged into Rage and Azrael’s dispute. If Azrael was already scary, then the older alpha was more frightening.
