Ran Away Pregnant Came Back Alpha Heiress (Amelia and Damien) novel Chapter 119

**Night Whispers Forgotten Names – Colin Shah**

**Chapter 119**

**Amelia’s POV**

A heavy silence enveloped the room, stretching on for what felt like an eternity. It was as if the very air had thickened, and every person present was holding their breath, caught in a moment suspended in time. The tension was palpable; one could almost hear the faintest sound of a pin dropping, it was that quiet.

As that moment dragged on, the confidence I had initially felt about the cure began to slip away like sand through my fingers. Doubts crept into my mind, gnawing at the edges of my resolve. Had we truly conducted enough testing? Was it possible that this cure, despite all our hopes, wouldn’t be enough to save Ethan? His condition was so dire, his life hanging by a thread. I had acted in desperation, with him teetering on the brink of death on the exam table, but now I couldn’t shake the feeling that I could have done more, that I should have done more.

What if he died here, in this sterile room, surrounded by the very people who were supposed to save him?

Just as despair threatened to consume me, Ethan suddenly lurched forward, gasping for air, his body instinctively fighting for life. The heart monitor, which had been ominously silent, sprang back to life, its rhythmic beeping echoing the newfound strength of his heartbeat.

For a fleeting moment, disbelief washed over me. I couldn’t help but wonder if I was dreaming, caught in a surreal moment where reality felt too good to be true.

Then, Eve’s gentle touch on my arm broke through my reverie. “It worked,” she said, her smile radiating warmth and relief.

The spark of hope ignited within me once more, and I surged forward alongside the medical team, our collective focus shifting to Ethan. We moved swiftly, removing the needle and doing everything in our power to stabilize him. Though he remained unconscious, the strength of his heartbeat was steadily increasing, his vitals inching back toward normalcy.

Once we had cleaned up and stabilized him, a miracle unfolded before our eyes; Ethan’s eyelids fluttered open, revealing confusion as he scanned the room. “What happened?” he croaked, his voice barely above a whisper.

Eve began to explain the situation, but I felt the urge to step outside, not wanting my presence to further agitate him. After all, it had been a long time since he had seen me, especially since I had fled from everything. I didn’t want to complicate his recovery with my sudden appearance.

Later, when he had a better grasp on what had transpired, we could discuss my role in all of this. For now, I found solace in the hallway, standing beside Dr. Wyatt and a few nurses, including the one who had initially taken the cure.

As I took a moment to breathe, I recognized her as one of the nurses who had bullied me in the past. Her demeanor had shifted; she looked somber, her head bowed and her gaze averted.

Dr. Wyatt was already in conversation with her when I approached.

“Your actions could have cost the pack Beta his life. What was the purpose of that? To showcase your disdain for our former Luna? She was merely trying to save a life,” Dr. Wyatt admonished, her voice firm.

“I’m sorry, Dr. Wyatt,” the nurse replied, her voice trembling.

“Tell me what you were thinking,” Dr. Wyatt pressed, her tone unyielding.

“I thought… I honestly didn’t believe the cure would work. The former Luna is from the human realm. None of their methods are effective with werewolves. I thought she was wasting everyone’s time,” the nurse admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.

“So, you believed you knew better than Healer Eve, a specialist in cardiology, and me, a senior healer at this hospital?” Dr. Wyatt challenged.

The nurse’s head drooped further, her chin nearly touching her chest. “I thought she had tricked you or manipulated you somehow, just as she seemed to have done with our Alpha…”

“Our Alpha was not deceived,” Dr. Wyatt retorted. “Hopefully, what transpired here today will help you realize that. Perhaps, in the future, you will treat those from the human realm with more kindness. But it will not be here, in this hospital.”

“But, Doctor,” the nurse protested, her eyes wide with panic.

“I’m sorry,” Dr. Wyatt interjected. “But I cannot keep someone on staff who would endanger a patient for such senseless reasons. Now, go on. Clean out your locker.”

The nurse’s expression crumpled, but she nodded, turning away and hastily retreating.

As she left, I stepped closer to Dr. Wyatt. “You didn’t have to do that,” I said softly. “She did eventually return the potion.”

“Only when Ethan was on the brink of death,” Dr. Wyatt replied, her usually gentle features hardened by resolve. “We cannot have anyone on staff who would jeopardize our patients’ health, especially not due to their own biases.”
