Chapter 253 - 11: Another side of him
"Are you visiting Shawn’s father?"
"Yup, see you tomorrow," Athan replied to Knox and headed out of the office. Honestly, he already heard from Steve that his brother was now in stable condition and that it would be fine if he didn’t visit since he was busy organizing the upcoming launch of his company.
But when he heard that only Shawn was left there, he finished his work early and decided to accompany him. He bought dinner on the way—pizza and chicken—Shawn’s favorites. He arrived not long after.
Athan frowned when he saw a nurse trying to wake up the poor omega. "Is there something you need?"
The female nurse looked back, guarded, raised her eyebrow at Athan, and was going to ignore him if he hadn’t spoken. "I’m with him. And the patient is my uncle. Don’t wake him up, he’s tired. Just tell me what you need."
"Ah... then, sir, we’re going to move the patient to the private ward now. So, I’m just concerned that he’ll be left here alone," the female nurse politely replied.
"I see. It’s fine. I’ll take him," Athan thanked the nurse before she left. He then approached Shawn and crouched on the floor, leveling his face on the worn-out omega. His eyebrows were furrowed, as though he was having a nightmare, and Athan couldn’t help but touch them.
As if on cue, they relaxed, and Athan smiled. His gaze moved to the blanket and the pillow. They were the same ones in a hospital bed, but new ones. Did Shawn get them to use? When the nurses began transferring Stuart to the private room, Athan stood and lifted Shawn.
However, he paused when he smelled a lingering scent on him. It was the scent of sandalwood, faint but undeniable. It was glued on the pillow and the blanket, so he left them on the bench.
