**Chapter 47**

“You really should stay here,” Jake urged, his voice a blend of firmness and concern, each word carefully chosen. “We can manage this without you.”

The mere thought of being left behind sent a shiver of anxiety coursing through me. The idea of sitting in solitude while everyone else rallied together felt like a weight pressing down on my chest. I craved connection, a sense of belonging, especially in the midst of this turmoil.

“I’d really prefer to come along, if that’s alright,” I responded, striving to maintain a calm demeanor, even as the knot of apprehension tightened in my stomach.

Martin, ever the voice of reason, interjected with a soothing tone, “It wouldn’t hurt to have her checked out too, just in case.” His words hung in the air, a gentle reminder that I wasn’t alone in my worries.

Jake nodded in agreement, a silent understanding passing between us. Without further hesitation, we climbed into Jake’s car, the engine roaring to life as he accelerated toward the hospital. The city lights blurred past us, a kaleidoscope of colors that mirrored the chaos swirling in my mind. When we finally arrived, Lillian was already there, her anxious figure waiting in the lobby, her eyes red-rimmed and glistening from tears.

“They took her into the back,” she said, her voice trembling with emotion. Despite the tragedy that had unfolded, her devotion as a mother shone through, revealing a woman deeply invested in her daughter’s well-being.

Jake and Martin, seemingly lost in their own thoughts, had fallen silent, the air thick with unspoken worries. I could feel the tension radiating from both father and son, an invisible weight that hung heavily in the atmosphere.

Jake gently took my arm, guiding me toward the nurses’ station. “Excuse me,” he addressed the nurse, his tone authoritative yet respectful, as if he were trying to command the very air around us. “We also need this woman looked at. There’s a possibility she was poisoned too.”

The nurse at the desk regarded me with a mixture of concern and skepticism. “I’ll see if I can find a test,” she replied, her brow furrowing slightly, as if my presence was an inconvenience.

“Where are the healers?” Jake pressed, his impatience evident, the urgency of our situation coloring his voice.

“I’m sorry, Alpha,” she responded, her tone apologetic but firm. “There’s only Healer Eve on staff today. We do have some assistants, but… Sienna is one of them, I’m afraid.”

“Is it always this understaffed?” I inquired, my curiosity piqued as I took in the nurse’s weary appearance. She looked as though she had been running on fumes for far too long, her shoulders slumping under the weight of her responsibilities.

“It’s been like this for a while now, miss,” she replied, her voice tinged with exhaustion. “If you could please sit, I can bring a kit out for you.”

“Wait,” I interjected, my urgency bubbling to the surface before she could retreat into the emergency room.

She paused, casting me an impatient glance, while Jake regarded me with a mix of curiosity and concern.
