Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 293

“What do you think?”

“No Josie, what do you think?”

“Erm..” I pause to think on the next best course of action. My eyes scan the room above, his dark aura causing hospital members to now leave the viewing platform. He hadn’t been there a moment ago, but now he was and his face was thunderous.

“I think…” I try to concentrate back on the room but it was hard knowing Dad was about to tear into me.

“Josie, eyes on me. Forget he is the alpha and your father…it is just me and you right now…we are in control. What do you want to do?” Doctor Abel’s voice calms that rising sense of guilt for letting Dad down.

He’s right I need to get prospective. This patient was who was important at the moment, Dad will understand…he’ll have to.

“I want to wait. I will check on the patient and decide whether to place bandages on him at another time.” I respond confidently.

“Very well. Then he is ready to be escorted back onto our ward.” Doctor Abel orders at the threatre staff that had been montoring the machines and helping us throughout the operation.

As the patient is moved, he removes his medical mask and gloves, placing them into the trash bin.

“Well done Josie, that was excellent.” His hand grips on my shoulder.

“I can’t believe that just happened.” I take in a deep breath before blowing it out through my cheeks. My mind buzzing with what I had just accomplished.

As Doctor Abel leaves the room I glance back up, Dad’s eyes burning into me. His anger radiating off him. Removing the gloves and apron off me, I toss them into the bin before following Doctor Abel.

Dad finds us, back on our ward as we set the patient on new monitors to keep a track of his vitals.

“Josie…a word!” His deep demanding voice orders at me from behind as my eyes look up at Doctor Abel, who was standing by the patient with me.

I move, walking into the privacy of Doctor Abel’s office as Dad follows me, closing the door behind him.

“When I give a clear instruction…”

“I was about to leave, honestly Dad…but then the patient was transferred and I couldn’t leave. You wouldn’t have expected me to leave him like that.”
