Piss Off, Alpha! You Lost Me Forever novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268: Chapter 269 Saving Her

SOPHIA’S POV

I’d barely stepped into my house when exhaustion hit me.

The dinner had lasted far longer than I expected. Between Professor Archer’s praise, discussions about research opportunities, and the constant attention from respected figures in the medical field, my mind felt completely drained.

For the first time in days, I wanted silence. Nothing else. Just silence.

I kicked off my shoes and slowly walked toward the couch.

My wolf stirred inside me. She was tired as well.

"You need rest," she muttered.

"I know."

I closed my eyes and leaned back against the couch. For a brief moment, everything felt peaceful.

Then my phone rang.

I frowned. Who could be calling me at this hour?

I grabbed the phone from my bag. The caller ID showed the hospital.

Immediately, my instincts got sharper.

Doctors never received late-night calls unless something serious had happened.

I answered "Hello?"

The voice on the other end was filled with panic.

"Dr. Sophia, we need you at the emergency department immediately."

"What happened?"

"There’s been a major traffic accident. One of the victims is in critical condition."

I stood up instantly "How critical?"

The nurse sounded stressed "Possible femoral artery rupture. Massive blood loss."

My heart skipped.

That was bad, very bad. A femoral artery injury could kill someone within minutes if it wasn’t controlled.

"I’m on my way."

I ended the call.

Before I could move, my phone rang again. This time it was Lance.

I answered immediately "Lance?"

"I’m already heading to the hospital," he said. "We have a critical trauma case."

"I know. I just got a call about it"

"Meet me there."

"I’m leaving now."

I grabbed my coat. My wolf immediately became alert. Whatever exhaustion I had felt disappeared.

A doctor’s life worked that way. The moment someone needed help, nothing else mattered.

Twenty minutes later, I rushed into the emergency department. The moment the elevator doors opened, I knew the situation was serious.

Doctors and nurses were running everywhere. Medical carts moved rapidly through the corridors.

The emergency room was in chaos.

Lance spotted me immediately.

"Over here." he said.

I hurried toward him "What do we have?"

Before he could answer, a stretcher burst through the emergency entrance. Several paramedics pushed it forward.

Blood covered the sheets. The patient wasn’t moving.

My heart immediately sank. The amount of blood alone was terrifying. Then I saw the face.

I recognized that face through photos, even if I’d never met her before.

Everything around me seemed to stop.

"No." I muttered.

The unconscious woman lying on the stretcher was Leah, Zade’s mother.

My eyes widened. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

For several seconds, I simply stared. I couldn’t believe it.

Just hours ago I’d been having dinner and Zade was there too. Now Leah was fighting for her life.

"What happened?" I asked.

One of the paramedics answered quickly "High-speed collision. Massive blood loss."

Lance pulled back the blanket and his face darkened immediately.

"There." He said.

I followed his gaze and I gasped as soon as I saw it. The wound was severe. The bleeding hadn’t completely stopped.

My stomach tightened "Femoral artery."

Lance nodded "Damn right."

A nurse looked terrified.

"Can we save her?" she asked.

Lance didn’t answer. Neither did I. Because right now we didn’t know.

Then I heard a familiar voice.

"Sophia."

The voice sounded broken.

I turned. My heart clenched instantly.

Zade stood several feet away, looking totally distressed..

I’d never seen him look like that before. Never.

His suit was disheveled. His hair was messy. His eyes were bloodshot.

The confident man who always carried himself with effortless charm looked completely shattered.

His wolf’s emotions practically rolled off him in waves. His wolf’s emotions were filled with fear and pain.

"Sophia." He whispered.

My heart broke at the sight of him.

He walked toward me. His movements looked unsteady. He walked almost like he couldn’t feel his legs.

"Please." He whispered.

My throat tightened "Zade"

"Please save her."

His voice cracked. The sound nearly broke my heart.

For the first time since I’d known him, he looked helpless, completely helpless.

His eyes filled with tears "I can’t lose her. I can’t."

His hand grabbed mine tightly. He held me as if I was the only thing keeping him standing.

My wolf whimpered softly. She felt his pain. She felt how terrified his wolf was.

I squeezed his hand "We’re going to do everything we can."

"Everything?"

"Everything."

His breathing shook. For a second, I thought he might actually collapse.
