My Professor Is My Alpha Mate (Lila) novel Chapter 147

Lila’s POV

I didn’t like Connie, but I never wanted something terrible to happen to her. Not like this.

There was a void in Enzo’s eyes, and I knew something was seriously wrong; he had just gotten terrible news and my heart ached for him. I stared at him for a moment, wondering what could be wrong.

Connie was missing; I wanted to go and find her, but he told me that his Beta was dealing with it. I hated that. Why wouldn’t he let me go out and look for her myself?

I was infuriated that he was trying to protect me from all things danger.

“Enzo…? I asked once it was clear he wasn’t going to say anything.

He finally looked at me, meeting my eyes.

“Connie is in the hospital.”

“What?” I gasped. “Why? What happened.”

“She got into an accident.”

“Oh, my goddess. We have to go to her,” I said, rushing toward the door.

Enzo followed closely behind me, not even daring to argue.

It didn’t take us long to get to the hospital. We took the rental car except I was the one who drove. Enzo was in no shape to drive at this moment.

Once we were at the hospital, Enzo finally snapped back into reality and rushed toward the first doctor he saw.

He gave Connie’s full name, and the doctor looked her up in the system before finding her room number.

We thanked him and then went toward the rooms until we found her room number.

Connie lay in bed, she wore a hospital gown, and I could see that she was wrapped in bandages underneath the gown. Her hair was left down and very mingled; she looked much paler than I had last seen her and much thinner. Not to mention she had some bruising around her jawbone and cuts on her cheeks and temples.

Connie wore no makeup which made her appear to be a completely different person.

Most importantly, she was awake with a ton of IV bags in her body.

“Connie…” Enzo breathed as he rushed toward her bedside.

She looked surprised to see either of us. Her eyes flickered between him and then me.

“Enzo?” She breathed. “How did you know that I was here?”

“I had Beta Ethan look into It,” he explained. “Connie, what happened to you?”

“I was in the cab, and we got into a huge accident I was told…” she breathed. “I’m not entirely sure what happened. My memory is very foggy. One minute I was in the back seat of the cab and heading to the airport and the next thing I knew I was flipping upside down and then everything went black. When I woke up, I was here.”

“I’m so sorry this happened to you. This is my fault for making you leave. If I hadn’t…”

“Enzo, it isn’t your fault,” she said quickly, reaching her hand out to touch Enzo. “It’s mine. Almost dying made me realize that I don’t want to lose you as a friend and I’m so sorry that I hurt you. I should have never done what I did, and I will never forgive myself. I hope that maybe one day you can forgive me…”

He was hesitant for a moment; I knew there was still a lot for them to talk about, but I also knew that he was majorly relieved that she was okay.

He glanced at me briefly and then back at her.

“Let’s just focus on getting you better,” he said softly.

She released a few tears before nodding her head.

“That sounds like a good plan,” she said in return. “I’m already feeling better, honestly.”

“That’s great to hear,” he said to her.

Soon, the nurse came into the room to give her some antibiotics and other medications.
