Tasting Nora-Pleasing Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 238

238–They Love Me Again 

Nora: 

I was rushed to the hospital where the doctors were instructed to prioritize my care. Naturally, Natalya was also receiving medical attention. The doctor gave me some pills and then induced vomiting to expel whatever I had ingested. 

It was odd because I didn’t really feel any pain. Maybe my instincts. saved me by not drinking the whole thing. That’s what had panicked. them. 

Since I was so scared and had exhausted myself, the nurse gave me a sleeping pill to help me rest. I fell asleep with Silas standing beside me, gently patting my forehead. I knew they felt guilty because I had repeatedly warned them not to trust those women. 

I didn’t understand how those women had managed to fool everyone, but I couldn’t entirely blame my stepbrothers. I had kept things from them, and the way those women had planned everything, leaving no traces of their deception, made it all seem like my fault whenever something went wrong. 

When I started to wake up, I realized my brothers had stayed by my side the whole time. At least one of them was always in the room, and Lord Atwood hadn’t left even for a minute. He was sitting on the sofa with his head in his hands. 

“Dad, she’s fine,” Ryker reassured his father. 

They didn’t know I had woken up.

“She’s told us so many times that those girls were after her,” hearing Lord Atwood sound so defeated was painful. 

“Nora might be a timid little girl, but Dad, she survived. She ran past the crowd, fighting and making sure she reached us before it was too late. I think you shouldn’t worry too much. From now on, we’ll take extra care of her,” Ryker continued, standing up from his chair but pausing when his father suddenly raised his head and held his hand, motioning for him to sit down again. 

“Why did you have to date April Watts?” his father asked, his tone simple but firm. I was certain he wouldn’t receive a straightforward 

answer. 

Ryker wouldn’t admit he did it to punish me, probably even to teach me a lesson. 

“Are you still going to see her after what she’s done?” his father pressed. 

“She’s in the custody of warriors right now. So let’s not talk about this,” Ryker replied. I expected him to be clear about his intentions. with April at this point, but his lack of anger towards her for almost killing me dampened my hopes. 

Just then, Lord Atwood rose from his seat, his eyes locking onto me. 

“She’s woken up!” he exclaimed, rushing over to hold my hand. 

“I’m fine,” I assured him, slowly sitting upright. 

“We’re glad you are,” Ryker commented quietly, avoiding eye contact. with me. I bet he knew I had overheard his conversation with his 

father.

“I’ll go bring the others. They’ve been so worried about you,” Ryker quickly escaped my judgmental stares as he hurried out of the room to fetch the others. 

“I’m sorry for not dealing with those girls sooner,” Lord Atwood said, not wasting a moment before taking my hand and rubbing it gently between his. 

“It’s not your fault, really. The way they planned and executed everything, it would leave anyone doubting if they could even harm a fly,” I replied, relieved that they had been caught. 

“The council must be very upset with how the funeral was interrupted,” I murmured under my breath. feeling bad about the situation. 

I was honestly just minding my own business when they arrived and cornered me. 

“You don’t need to worry about that. They know you were the victim, so they’re more angry at those girls,” Lord Atwood gently ran his hand through my hair, trying to calm me down. 

“What happened to Natalya?” I asked, glancing at Ryker before turning my attention to Cain. 

“She’s still in surgery. Since she’s just human, she couldn’t heal on her own,” he replied, aware that others might wonder how they knew she was their mate if she didn’t have her wolf. But everyone seemed so focused on me that they avoided that question. 

‘You’ll be coming home with us today. Alpha Brody had to leave to attend to his pack’s matters, but he insisted that when he returns, he’ll take you to his apartment. However, I told him no!” Lord Atwood smiled as he gestured with his hand, indicating that he wouldn’t let me go anywhere again.

It was such a relief to see them treat me well again and not look at me like I was some evil person trying to steal something from someone. 

“I’ll be happy to stay home again,” I said, giving them all a smile. Just then, a knock on the door turned everyone’s attention. 

A doctor walked in, noticing me sitting and smiling with my family. He looked to be in his mid–thirties and appeared very decent. 

“I see, she’s already awake,” he commented, holding a file in his hand.
