HAILEY
Dominic was finally stable enough to be removed from the ICU and was put into a private room.
He was sleeping peacefully, and I had no doubt he was going to wake up soon. And I knew it was time for me to hand him over to another doctor. Because the last thing I wanted was to have him
waking up, and start talking shit again.
“So, are you going to tell him that you saved his life, and was the doctor who stitched him up? Or are you going to just pretend that he’s not a patient and walk away without him ever knowing?” Valerie asked, looking through her charts.
“He will wake up and know that I was the doctor treating him. He’s an Alpha, my scent will literally tell me out. I just don’t want to see his face when he wakes up. I did my job as his doctor to help save his life, now that he’s stable enough, I can easily pass him to another doctor, and he’ll be their problem. I’m a doctor. I can’t leave my patients. Especially a high risk one, and let him die, that would make me a shitty doctor, and no matter what, my morals will always come first. But, I don’t want to have to see his face. I’ll have someone else take over his case.”
Valerie nodded as she looked at him. He was dressed in the hospital’s gown, and had his bandages changed. He looked like every other normal patient, laying there so helplessly and peacefully.
“Your reason is very understandable, Hails. You have every right to not want to see his face. He hurt you. He made you leave your own pack and family. He doesn’t deserve your kindness and care, after everything he has done. So, I totally understand.”
“Thanks, Val.”
“Anytime. I should get going now, and check up on a few of my patients. Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. I just need to draw his blood and run a few tests.”
Valerie left the room as I turned to Dominic and started drawing his blood.
He was so handsome, and so peaceful. His hair was messy and his stubble was slowly growing, making him look younger and innocent.
It was strange seeing him like this.
“You’re going to wake up soon, aren’t you?” I asked, knowing full well that he wouldn’t answer. “You know, I never got the chance to say this five years ago, because I was pathetic and crying over the fact that you wanted a divorce. But, here’s what I have to say. You’re a coward, Dominic. You’re a

coward for cheating on me, for using me and abusing my love and trust. For leaving me without a
second thought, and letting your mistress talk shit about me. For throwing away our marriage, and destroying the love and trust we had. And for allowing her to make me feel like a fucking tool. I hate you for what you did. I hate that you didn’t love me enough, and the fact that I wasted five years of my life, trying to forget about you. You broke me. You destroyed me. You turned me into a person I never wanted to be. You did this. But, guess what, Dominic. It’s your fault that that version of me is gone. Dead. Buried. It’s your fault that I don’t need you anymore. It’s your fault that I have moved on. That I am a completely different person, and I’m not that woman you threw away anymore. But, thanks for letting her go. Because she didn’t deserve any of that, and she wouldn’t have been where she is right now, if it wasn’t for you. Thank you, and good riddance. And, the moment you wake up, I hope you remember that this is the last time, you’ll ever see me again.”
Taking a deep breath, I slowly punctured the needle into his thumb, and collected the blood.
But just as I was about to drop his hand back to his side, a warm hand wrapped around my wrist and squeezed.
My heart stopped, and a chill ran down my spine. My head snapped back to him and was met with
a set of green ones.

DOMINIC
I groaned as I heard a faint sound coming from far away.
Where was I?
Why was it so cold, and why was I in so much pain. Then I heard her, all she had to say to me, all she couldn’t say to my face but had said to the unconscious me.
“It’s your fault that she’s gone. She didn’t deserve any of that. She’s a completely different person, and I’m not the woman you threw away anymore. Thank you, and good riddance.”
She sounded like she was in pain. Like she was trying not to break down. And I felt horrible that I
was the reason behind that.
I opened my eyes and was met with the white walls of the hospital. The IV drip, the bandages, and
the monitors.
My entire body was screaming in agony, and I couldn’t move.
What the hell happened?
I could hear her sniffing, and the sound of her heart beating faster. She was scared.
I immediately wanted to comfort her and tell her that everything was going to be fine. That I would
make sure she would never get hurt again.
I grabbed her wrist and squeezed. I heard her breathe still, as she snapped her head back. Her eyes were wide and her lips were parted.
She was even more beautiful than I remembered.
I gave her a small smile as her mouth opened and closed like a fish. She had a shocked expression
on her face.
“So, you call me a coward yet you couldn’t say all those things to my face. You’re not very brave,
are you, Hailey?” I asked.
Her eyes narrowed, and she pulled her wrist away. “You were awake?”

CHAPTER FORTY TWO 2
“Long enough to hear everything you said. And long enough to hear the pain and sorrow in your voice. I’m so sorry, Hailey. For everything. For what I did, for breaking your heart, for destroying us. I’m sorry. If I could go back, and change everything, I would. I was a fucking idiot. I was an asshole, and you didn’t deserve any of that. I don’t have any excuses, but I’m sorry. I don’t know why I did that, sometimes I wonder why I did it because it was never what I wanted. And I never cheated on you. Never.”
“I can condone your sorry excuse of an apology, Dominic. But, what I will not condone is your lies. Your words mean nothing to me, and they never will. You had every right to cheat on me, because we both know that you never loved me. You wanted someone who would stay at home and pop out babies while you’re out, doing god knows what. So, no, your pathetic excuse of an apology does not mean anything to me, and lying that you never cheated will not help you.”
“It’s not a lie, Hailey. I never cheated. Not once. Ever. Not until after our divorce was finalized. I never did anything with Yasmine, no matter how much she wanted to. Not her, not anyone else.”
She shook her head. “Save it. I don’t care. I honestly don’t. Because the moment you leave this hospital, my life will go back to normal, and we will never have to see each other again. I will have the board directors arrange to get me out of here as soon as my job here is finished, and that will be the last you’ll ever see of me. Because the moment I leave this place, our lives will go back to what they were, and we’ll forget about each other.”
“Hailey, please. Just listen to me-“I tried to grab her, but she moved out of my reach before I
could.
“No. There is nothing else you have to say. It doesn’t matter anymore. It’s the past, and it will never change. You have moved on, Dominic. You chose the future you want and i wasn’t in it. Now, let me go and leave the past where it belongs. Behind us. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a job to do. I have a patient to see. Have a good day, Mr. King.”
And with that, she walked out the door.
I wanted to call her back and force her to hear me out, but this stupid monitor was hooked up to
me, and if I did anything too extreme, it would set the alarms off, and I would never get the chance
to talk to her again.
Fuck.
Why the hell did she think I cheated?
