Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186: Chapter 186 – The DNA results are ready

The second she saw Voren standing there alive, bruised, exhausted, and very much breathing, so much relief crashed into her at once that it almost made her knees give out.

For a second, all she could think about was the terror she had felt while watching that building burn. She thought he was dead.

The fear she had been carrying twisted into relief, then into anger so quickly that she barely had time to stop herself.

She walked straight toward him and punched him hard in the face.

"You know absolutely nothing about teamwork," she snapped before storming past him because if she stayed there any longer, she might have completely fallen apart in front of him.

Corvine stayed behind for a second and looked at Voren, who still seemed too shocked to react.

"You should have told us you survived," Corvine said while shaking his head. "She was trying to run into the fire for you when the building exploded."

Voren froze instantly. For the first time that entire night, something deeper than shock crossed his face. Did she care so much about him? He was so prepared to defend himself when Corvine spoke but after hearing how far Seraphine was willing to go for him, something stirred inside him.

"That must be her," Stanley said while watching Seraphine walk away, his eyes following her retreating figure through the crowded hospital corridor. "I should probably go talk to her. Maybe she would make a great addition to the FBI."

Corvine let out a small laugh, though there was still too much exhaustion sitting inside him for it to sound completely genuine.

"Trust me, she would not," he replied while glancing in Seraphine’s direction. "Besides, she loves being a doctor far too much to leave it behind."

Stanley turned to look at him with clear surprise written across his face because after everything that had happened tonight because of Seraphine, he least expected her inside a hospital saving lives.

"A doctor?" Stanley repeated. "Then how did someone like her end up in Santiago’s world?"

His question lingered in the air for a moment, but when Stanley looked toward Voren, he realized the man was barely paying attention anymore because his focus was fixed entirely on Seraphine.

"I should go check on her," Corvine said after a moment. "She has not rested at all tonight."

Then he left the two men behind and made his way through the crowded hallway until he finally found Seraphine.

By the time he reached her, she had already buried herself completely in work.

She moved from one casualty to another with a focused expression on her face, checking injuries, asking questions, reading reports, and giving instructions to the nurses around her as though the night had not nearly destroyed her.

"Sera, you need to rest," Corvine said as he stepped beside her, concern clear in his voice.

Leon, who had been helping nearby, nodded immediately.

"He’s right," Leon added while crossing his arms. "You need to go home because I can take care of things from here."

Seraphine shook her head without even looking at either of them because she still had too much left to do.

What if somebody made a mistake with the results?

What if somebody overlooked something important?

What if one of the children was hers and she somehow missed it?

She had already spent hours walking through the wards, checking every child who looked close to the age her daughter would be now, but none of them had resembled her enough to make her stop.
