Piss Off, Alpha! You Lost Me Forever novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270: Chapter 271 Waiting For Her

Sophia’s POV

The next morning, the first thing I became aware of was warmth.

For a few seconds, I remained half asleep.

I felt a strong arm wrapped around my waist.

My eyes flew open.

I realized I was lying against his chest.

His arm was wrapped tightly around me like he was afraid I would disappear if he let go. Even in sleep, his grip remained possessive and protective.

My wolf stirred inside me “He stayed”.

Slowly, I lifted my head and looked at him.

The morning sunlight shone golden light across his face. He looked exhausted. There were dark circles under his eyes.

For a moment, guilt stabbed through me.

He had donated blood yesterday. He had stayed awake most of the night.

And somehow, despite everything, he had still ended up holding me while I slept.

I carefully tried to move away. The moment I shifted, his arm tightened.

My heart skipped.

"Zade," I whispered.

He didn’t wake up. His face softened in sleep.

My wolf whimpered “He loves us”.

I clenched my jaw.

I wasn’t ready for thoughts like that.

Carefully, I lifted his arm and slid away from him. This time he only frowned slightly before settling back into sleep.

I sat up slowly. My body still felt weak from the recent illness.

I glanced back one last time. Zade looked completely vulnerable while sleeping.

I slowly got out of bed. My legs felt slightly shaky.

After fixing my hair and washing my face, I quietly stepped out of the room.

The hallway was nearly empty. Nurses walked back and forth. Doctors discussed patients.

I froze. Someone was sitting on a bench across the corridor.

Lance.

My eyes widened. He was still wearing yesterday’s clothes. His tie was loose. Most shocking of all, he looked exhausted.

The moment he saw me, he stood.

A small smile appeared on his face.

"You’re awake." He said.

I stared at him "Lance..."

His smile widened "Good morning."

My chest suddenly tightened.

"Have you been here all night?" I asked.

His expression turned awkward. That alone gave me my answer.

"Oh my God." I whispered.

I felt horrible.

"Lance, you didn’t go home?"

He rubbed the back of his neck "I wanted to make sure you were okay."

I could barely speak. The guilt hit me hard. He had already been working nonstop. He had surgeries and research projects. Yet somehow he had spent the entire night sitting outside my hospital room.

My wolf lowered her head sadly.

I swallowed hard "Lance..."

"Don’t look at me like that."

"You should’ve gone home."

"And leave you here? I couldn’t."

My throat tightened. For a moment neither of us spoke.

I noticed something. Lance looked pale.....very pale. His eyes were bloodshot. His movements seemed slower than normal.

I felt concerned.

"Lance, are you okay?" I asked.

He smiled "I’m fine."

"No, you’re not."

He laughed softly "I promise-"

Before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly swayed.

My eyes widened in shock "Lance!"

Everything happened in seconds. His knees buckled and he leaned forward.

Quickly, I rushed toward him. I barely managed to catch him before he hit the floor. His weight crashed into me. The force nearly knocked me down.

Everyone in the hallway gasped. Several nurses immediately rushed over.

"Lance!" I screamed. My voice shook.

His eyes remained closed.

"Call a doctor!" I screamed.

I was so scared. Panic gripped me hard.

Nurses immediately moved into action. One nurse checked his pulse. Another brought a wheelchair.

The entire corridor suddenly became chaotic.

My hands trembled as I held onto him.

"Lance, wake up." I said.

Within moments they placed Lance in a wheelchair and rushed him to the emergency unit. I rushed after them.

I felt guilty. My heart remained unsettled.

He had collapsed because he stayed here....because of me.

The guilt was overwhelming.

We reached the examination area. Doctors immediately began checking him.

I stood nearby watching. Minutes passed.

Finally, a doctor approached.

"Exhaustion." The doctor explained to me “Extreme exhaustion and dehydration”

I released a breath "He’ll be fine after rest."

Thank the goddess it wasn’t something worse.

I turned back toward Lance. I moved to his bed and held his hand.

Lance opened his eyes and smiled at me.

“Sophia” he whispered.

“Hey”

Another voice suddenly echoed through the hallway.

"What the hell is this?"

Every muscle in my body froze.

Zade.

I slowly turned around.

He was standing several feet away. His expression was terrifying.

His eyes locked onto my hand, holding Lance.
