After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54

The smell of antiseptic was the first thing she noticed. The next was the warmth of someone’s hand in hers. Her mind struggled to come out of the haze that had settled over her mind.

Something faintly beeped beside her. Rhythmic. There. She turned her head, eyes fluttering. A heart monitor.

With a groan she turned to her other side, and that hand in here’s tightened.

“Elly.”

She looked at Liam, sitting beside the hospital bed. He stood now, taking her hand in both of his.

“Goddess, Elly, you’re awake…”

Elaine closed her eyes again, feeling a drugged-up pull back to sleep. She fought against it.

“Where…”

“Hospital,” he answered quickly. “You’re in the hospital.”

The last thing she remembered was Harriet’s house. It seemed to be morning now. Afternoon? It was hard to tell. The blinds over the window didn’t allow much light to seep in, but enough came through that she knew it was day.

“What…”

“You were stabbed. The man who did it is…gone.” Liam slowly sat back down, anxious and not knowing what to do with himself. If he could take away her pain, he would.
