Chapter 118 Hidden Wounds

Worried about both of them, Sophia drove with unusual steadiness and speed, getting them to the Kingsley family’s private hospital quickly. She had already called ahead, and a medical tea was waiting outside the emergency entrance.

The moment the car stopped, a gurney was rushed forward.

“Sir,” the hospital director greeted, sweat visible on his forehead as he urged Alexander to lie down.

Alexander motioned toward Elena. “Treat her first. I’m fine.”

The director stared at his pale complexion.

Fine?

“Didn’t you hear me?” Alexander said evenly.

The director did not dare argue. He immediately ordered the staff to transfer Elena onto the gurney and wheel her inside.

Only after she disappeared through the doors did Alexander allow Sophia to escort him to hav his wounds examined.

“There’s about a two–and–a–half–inch laceration,” the doctor said after examining the back of h head. “You’ll need stitches. You were lucky it didn’t hit lower. If it had reached the base of your skull, we’d be dealing with something a lot worse.”

Sophia swallowed hard, the delayed fear finally hitting her.

“Alexander, what exactly happened? You were just picking us up from work. How did both you and Elena end up injured? I also saw Nathan and Camille walking out of there.”

Something was clearly being kept from her, though she could not piece it together.

All she knew was that if either Alexander or Elena had been seriously hurt, she would not escape blame,

“Nathan and Camille were there?” Alexander asked, his face pale but his voice controlled.

At the mention of their names, a chill settled over his expression, his eyes turning sharp and unreadable.

“Yeah,” Sophia replied. “Camille looked like she had some burns too. I even asked her if she’d seen Elena. She ignored me.”

The temperature in the room seemed to drop.

Even the doctor stitching his wound sensed the shift and worked more carefully. When Elena woke, she was already in a hospital room.

Her first instinct was to reach for her phone. She pushed herself upright, only to fall back against the pillows as pain shot through her leg.

This was not the first time she had been injured on the job.

Four years ago, during a hurricane broadcast assignment, flying debris had struck her head while she was reporting live. She had been rushed to the hospital then as well.

After that incident, she had made a habit of texting Nathan whenever she was out on assignment, just to let him know she was safe.

She had never imagined that one day, Nathan himself would be the reason she nearly lost her life.

After a moment to steady herself, she sat up carefully and grabbed the phone from the bedside table. Remembering how Alexander had shielded her, she immediately dialed his number.

She called several times.

Each attempt went straight to voicemail. A mechanical voice informed her that the call could not be connected.

What if something happened to him?

Panic surged.

Ignoring the bandages wrapped around her leg, she swung her feet over the side of the bed and limped toward the door.

She had barely taken a few steps when she saw Sophia walking toward her.

“Elena!”

Sophia rushed forward to support her.

Elena gripped Sophia’s arm tightly, urgency overtaking her. “Where is Alexander? Is he okay? He was hurt, wasn’t he?”

The worry in her voice was unmistakable.

Sophia opened her mouth, intending to reassure her, but then hesitated when she noticed

something behind Elena and sighed softly.

“He is injured,” Sophia admitted. “It’s not minor. He took a hit to the head. It looked pretty bad.”

Elena had not noticed anyone approaching from behind her.

Sophia’s words drained the color from her face. “Which room is he in?”
