After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102

You aren’t pushing yourself, are you? I’ve told you to rest.”

“I have been. Just as you told me to.” Ayla reached over to take his hand, interwining her fingers with his as she attempted to sit up.

Lucas helped her, searching her face for any paleness.

“That was out of nowhere,” Alice said. “Are you sure you’re okay, Ayla?”

“Out, both of you,” Lucas snapped, looking over his shoulder at the pair of them. They both straightened up.

Ayla nodded. “It’s alright…go. I should probably rest now…”

Alice and May exchanged another look before getting up and heading to the door. Ayla leaned her head against Lucas’ shoulder.

“Keep me close? Just in case…”

“We should get you to the doctor,” Lucas said as he slid his arm beneath her knees, the other at her back. He lifted her up effortlessly.

Ayla shook her head. “No, it’s okay. They said this would happen. It’s nothing to worry about, just so long as I get some rest.”

“Ayla…”

“It’s alright, truly. I can maybe sit in your office with you, while you work?”

Lucas signed but nodded as he carried Ayla off toward his study. He didn’t like that she seemed to sick, so frail in his arms, yet refused to go see the doctor. He knew she was ill, but still.1

It didn’t matter if he didn’t love her anymore, he still cared. And he hated to see her so weak.

When he arrived in his study, he gently set her down upon one of the chairs before the desk, musing to himself how he might need to get a couch in here. If he was going to be keeping an eye on her more often, it might be helpful.

Ayla settled upon the couch with a thankful nod and a faint smile. “Some water?” she asked.

“Of course.”
