Piss Off, Alpha! You Lost Me Forever novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104: Chapter 104 Dont Leave Mummy

SOPHIA’S POV

By evening, I was sitting with my family around the dinner table, trying to pretend everything was fine. My mother had cooked, and Klara was telling everyone about her day at school, proudly mentioning how she’d introduced me to all her friends.

"She was showing off," Patricia said with a fond smile. "Telling everyone her aunt is a famous doctor."

"Not famous," I protested.

"Famous to me," Klara said and Marco ruffled her hair.

For just a moment, surrounded by my family’s love, I felt like I could breathe again, like maybe I wasn’t a complete failure as a person, even if I was failing as Ashley’s mother.

Then my phone rang.

Damien’s name flashed on the screen, and my wolf immediately went on alert. He never called at night unless something was wrong.

"Hello?" I answered.

"You need to come to the villa now." His voice was filled with panic and I could hear crying in the background.

I was already standing up "What happened?"

"Ashley’s sick. She has bad stomach pain and she’s been vomiting. I don’t know what’s wrong with her-"

"I’m on my way. Have you taken her temperature?"

"Yes, it’s slightly elevated. 99.8."

"Keep her hydrated, small sips of water. I’ll be there in ten minutes." I was already running for the door.

"Sophia, hurry. She’s asking for you." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The words both warmed and broke my heart. She’s asking for me, not Tiffany...Me.

I drove to Stone Villa faster than I should have. My wolf kept pushing me to get to our pup. When I got there, I found Damien in the living room, pacing with Ashley in his arms. She was crying and clutching her stomach.

"Mommy," she whimpered when she saw me, reaching out her arms.

I took her from Damien immediately, feeling her forehead. "Hey baby, I’m here. Can you tell me where it hurts?"

"My tummy," she sobbed. "It hurts so much,"

"Okay, we’re going to the hospital right now” I looked at Damien. "Let’s go. You drive, I’ll hold her."

The drive to the hospital was tense. Ashley cried the whole way, and every whimper from her made my wolf howl. This was my pup in pain, and I couldn’t fix it with just a hug and a kiss.

At the emergency room, I used my hospital credentials to get Ashley seen immediately. The pediatrician on duty examined her thoroughly while I held her hand. Damien stood by looking helpless.

"It’s indigestion combined with abdominal lymphadenopathy," the doctor finally said. "Her lymph nodes are swollen, which is causing the pain. Has she been under stress lately?"

I thought about Ashley crying at the kindergarten, about her screaming that she didn’t want me as her mother. "Yes. Quite a bit of stress."

"That can trigger it. We’ll need to keep her overnight for observation and IV fluids. The good news is it’s not serious, but it will be uncomfortable for a few days."

They moved Ashley to a pediatric room, got her hooked up to an IV, and gave her something for the pain. Within an hour, she was drowsy but no longer crying.

"Mommy?" she said sleepily. "Don’t leave."

"I’m not going anywhere, baby." I pulled a chair up to her bedside and took her small hand in mine. "I’ll be right here all night."

Ashley’s eyes drifted closed, and within minutes she was asleep. Her breathing was deep and even. The pain medication had finally kicked in.

Damien had been standing by the window, watching us. He moved closer to the bed.

"I should go," he said. "Make sure everything’s handled at the office for tomorrow. I had a lot of important meetings today"

"You’re leaving?" I finally looked at him. "She’s in the hospital."

"You’re here with her. She’ll be fine."
