My Bestfriend's Brother Shouldn't Know How I Taste free chapter novel Chapter 86

Bailey's pov

The doctor kept my mom updated and said I was okay and they have ensured that the wound will not be infected and cause any future issues. However, they wanted to keep me here for another hour for observation.

As he left to tend to the other patients, Dad arrived a few minutes later with Grandma Ryn and Grandpa Ace in tow.

I internally winced.

Dad rushed over to my side, his face etched with concern as he took my hand in his, squeezing. "Bailey, are you okay?" he asked, his voice filled with worry as his eyes snap to my my injured foot. He glared at it.

I nodded. "I'm okay dad, it looks worse than it actually is."

As we all engaged in a conversation, Grandma Ryn decided to tense the atmosphere with her next question directed at Kaleb who still had not shifted away from my side.

"Young man. Can you give us a list of all the girls who could potentially be a threat to my granddaughter's life?"

I stiffened, staring at her awkwardly while Kaleb looks flushed. "Are you talking about my exes? I've never had an ex. Bailey is my first girlfriend."

Grandma Ryn's eyes narrowed. "Are there not girls who admire you and you've been with in the past?"

Kaleb's flushed reddened and he awkwardly cleared his throat, the blush reaching all to the tips of his ears. "Uhm, I may need a sheet of paper and a pen."

Grandma Ryn raised a brow, amusement flashing in her eyes and I clenched my eyes closed tightly. This is embarrassing.

"Oh? Is this list going to be long?" She questioned.

Kaleb let out an embarrassed cough. "I am afraid it will ma'am."

Exactly an hour later I was discharged. Kaleb asked my parents if he could be allowed to spend the rest of the day with me seeing as I won't be returning to the school but they voiced out that he should return to the school and come to check up on me afterward.

I knew he was displeased about it but they were right. He didn't have to miss more school time because of me. I'd rather him go to school.

He helped me in my dad's car and bent over to give me a soft kiss before leaning toward my ear and whispering how much he loved me and how he'd try his best to protect me better.

I knew he was taking it hard with what happened and reached out to grasp his hand, squeezing it before he left. "I love you, Kaleb. Nothing will change that." I promised him and pulled him for another kiss before Dad said we should get home so I could take a good needed nap.

As we zoomed away, I turn to look back at Kaleb who had his hands in his pockets and a small sad frown on his face. I bit my lip, sighing as I turned back around, leaning my head on the window.

I can't help but give in to my thoughts, wondering if there will be more attacks on me. Those glass shards in the field could be a coincidence however my gut told me it wasn't.

As I turn to look once more at Kaleb's figure which got smaller the further away we are, my heart squeezes.

What if Kaleb leaves me thinking he will be saving me from future attacks? What if I....lose him?

I swallowed, my eyes stinging and I quickly rip my eyes away, clenching my eyes tightly as I let out a shaky breath. The thought of losing him pushed in fear that gnawed on my insides.
