Piss Off, Alpha! You Lost Me Forever novel Chapter 232

Chapter 232: Chapter 232 Good Husband

SOPHIA’S POV

The hospital shift that evening completely drained me.

By the time I finally stepped out of the operating wing, my shoulders ached badly and my head felt heavy from exhaustion. The emergency cases had been nonstop since morning, and several surgeries lasted much longer than expected.

Even my wolf felt tired.

I removed my gloves while walking through the corridor toward the staff elevator. My hair was slightly messy now from the long shift, and my eyes burned from lack of rest.

Honestly... I just wanted sleep. But the moment I reached the hospital lobby, I froze slightly.

Lance stood there waiting.

He leaned casually beside the front desk while holding his phone in one hand.

The moment he saw me, his expression softened immediately.

“You look exhausted,” he said quietly.

I sighed tiredly. “I feel exhausted.”

His eyes moved over my face. Concern slowly appeared in his expression when he noticed how pale I still looked.

“You should be resting more.” He said.

I sighed “My patients won’t allow that.”

Lance’s presence always comforted me lately.

“I haven’t eaten yet,” Lance said after a moment. “Come have dinner with me.”

I hesitated briefly.

Part of me genuinely wanted returning to Bianca’s apartment immediately, but another part of me didn’t want sitting alone with my thoughts tonight either.....especially not after everything happening lately.

“Fine,” I agreed softly.

Lance opened the hospital door for me with a smile.

“Good.”

The cold evening air hit my skin the moment we stepped outside. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

For a few seconds, I simply breathed quietly.

And strangely enough...being beside Lance felt peaceful. There was no emotional pressure around him, no confusion and no painful memories constantly in my mind.

My wolf relaxed slightly too.

Lance noticed my silence while walking beside me toward the parking area.

“Tough day?” he asked.

I laughed weakly “You have no idea.”

About forty minutes later, we arrived at one of the most luxurious restaurants downtown.

The place overlooked the river beautifully through massive glass walls while soft piano music played quietly in the background.

Lance pulled my chair out gently before sitting across from me.

The waiter arrived shortly after. We ordered dinner quietly, then we started talking.

Lance mostly asked about work while listening to every answer I gave. Unlike Damien, he actually paid attention when people spoke.

At some point during dinner, I even found myself relaxing slightly, actually relaxing.

My wolf softened too. Then suddenly, she became alert.....very alert.

My entire body stiffened instantly. It was because I smelled him before I even saw him.

Zade.

The scent hit my senses hard from across the restaurant the moment he entered. My wolf reacted immediately inside me.

I froze completely while staring toward the entrance.

And there he was. Zade walked into the restaurant wearing black from head to toe. His dark coat hung perfectly against his broad frame. Several people instantly turned to stare at him the moment he entered.

But he wasn’t alone. A woman walked beside him. She was beautiful and familiar. I recognized her immediately - Celeste Laurent.

She was one of the biggest actresses in the country. She had long dark hair and an elegant figure. She was the type of woman magazines constantly praised for her beauty.

She held Zade’s arm naturally while smiling up at him.

And worst of all... Zade looked relaxed beside her.

My chest tightened at the sight of them. My wolf instantly became distressed.

Lance noticed my expression immediately.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

I forced a smile “Nothing.”
