Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 426

426–Like A Broken Record.

Madeline:

I kept walking down the path, turning my head in every direction while trying to shield my daughter from the rain. Still, my legs were soaked.

She was burning with fever. Every so often, she let out weak cries that shook me.

After a while, I started to run. I ran as fast as I could, even though my wolf remained silent.

Every time I tried to reach her, pain spread through my body, as if she were resisting.

She had stopped responding to me, and I did not know why. I felt like I had lost something inside myself.

At last, I reached the motel. There was a phone booth outside, and I still had some money left, thanks to

what Yuvonne had given me.

I stepped into the booth, and for the first time, I felt a little warmth. My daughter was too weak to notice.

The cold and rain had made her worse. I felt like a mother who was failing to protect her child, but I forced myself to stay focused.

I took a deep breath and dialed the number.

“Hello?” he answered, sounding half asleep.

“Your daughter has a high fever, Elgin. I need you to come and take her to the hospital,” I said quietly, biting my tongue.

The drive would take him about an hour if he hurried, but I did not know if he would come. I knew he had not cared before, but I had to try.

“What?” Elgin muttered.

“She has a high fever. Elgin, you need to come and help her. Please.” 1

I expected him to argue, but his response surprised me. “I’ll be there. Where are you calling from? The motel?” 1

“Yes,” I said, standing straight.

“All right. I will call the motel manager and ask him to give you a room until I arrive. Keep her warm,” As he spoke, I pushed aside my anger toward him. Right then, all that mattered was my daughter.

I ended the call and went to the motel manager’s office. He came out, sleepy but alert after hearing Elgin’s instructions. He quickly opened a room for us and let me in.

Inside, I laid my daughter near the fireplace.

“Don’t worry. You will be fine. Daddy is coming,” I said, forcing the words out.

“Yes, Daddy is coming, but I thought he was in the hospital,” she murmured weakly.

I gave a small, helpless smile. Even with a high fever, the only person she called Daddy was Baxter. 1

After a few minutes, there was a knock on the door. I opened it and found Elgin standing outside.

He must have driven fast to get here because he arrived in less than an hour. He rushed past me to check on his daughter and lifted her into his arms.

“We need to take her to the hospital. Her fever is high,” he said without looking at me.

It was not easy for me to stand so close to him, and it felt worse walking beside him.

When we reached the car, he placed Elara in the back seat and had me sit beside her. He started driving, and the silence between us felt heavy.

That night, I realized how far a mother is willing to go. So much so, that she is willing to sit right next to her harasser and abuser.

After a short distance, he suddenly stopped the car.

“Is everything okay? Why did you stop? Is the car broken?” I asked, turning to check on my daughter.

He stayed quiet, his hands resting on the steering wheel.

“Elgin, what is it?”

He turned sharply toward me. “You hate me, don’t you?”

“This is not the time for that. My daughter needs help. Please drive,” I said, sitting up straight and avoiding

his eyes.

“No. I want to know. You hate me. You cannot even look at me,” he said, and I clenched my fists.

I took a breath and answered. “Do you think I shouldn’t hate you?”

“I know I made mistakes, Madeline, but you have always ignored my feelings,” he said loudly.

I turned to face him.

“Is that what you think happened? You broke my daughter’s heart when you rejected her. You left me alone. You mocked me with your wife. When someone else tried to help me, you got angry at him too. And then you and Graham…” I stopped and covered my face with my hands.

“Forget him. Graham is an idiot. But look at me. I regret everything. I should never have rejected you or her. I still want to help you. I want to support you,” he said more softly and disgust spread through my body like

fire.

I hated every time these two spoke about wanting me. 1

They had a chance and they blew it bad, now they wanted to force themselves on me and it felt worse.

“You brought condoms,” I muttered through my clenched jaw as I reminded him of his intentions from that night. 1
