After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278

Elaine reached up to knock.

The door opened.

“Elaine,” Harriet said, eyes wide as she took in the bruised and worn features of both Elaine and the man she was helping stand upright.

“I need your help…” Elaine said.

Harriet scowled but opened the door. “Get in.”

Elaine helped Slater instead, blood finally dripping between his fingers and too the floor.

“I can’t believe you brought a rogue here, Elaine!” Harriet said, rushing to grab her first–aid kit from the bathroom.

“Where else was I supposed to go?” Elaine asked.

Harriet came back out with the kit. “Oh, I don’t know, the hospital?”

“Can’t go there, officers would be notified. He’d be in cuffs within the hour,” Elaine said, helping Slater down onto the couch.

Harriet growled out in frustration. “Careful of the cushions–! At least use a blanket…”

“Can you pull the car into the garage?” Elaine asked, looking up at Harriet.

“Why, you expecting company?” Harriet asked in disbelief but was already grabbing Elaine’s keys and heading back outside.

Slater coughed raggedly. “Ah, fuck…”

“Easy, don’t move so much,” Elaine said, putting out a needle.

“You know how to stitch up a wound?”

“Let’s just say it’s not my first time,” she replied.

She didn’t like thinking about the first time. Who knew that experience would ever come in handy again?

She began to clean the wound then stitch Slater back up. He grit back against the pain but couldn’t help groaning. Elaine kept apologizing, but it wasn’t like it would help. He hissed out a breath.

“Damnit, woman… didn’t think to use numbing first?”

“I don’t exactly have anything here to numb a wound like this. Stay still!” Elaine managed to pull the wound together. Her hands were shaking by the end of it.

Harriet returned from the garage. “Alright. Cars hidden and I didn’t notice anyone watching. Now, would you mind explaining to me what this rogue is doing, bleeding all over my couch?”

“I didn’t have anywhere else to go. That lead I was following…” Elaine trailed off.

“Selim Richter,” Harriet muttered. “I told you to be careful.”

“We tried to be.”

“Not really,” Slater replied dryly.
