Chapter 0249 I nibbled on my lower lip and nodded ; I didnt want to lie to him .


    Yes , I admitted .


    Are you okay ? He studied me for a moment , his eyes scanning my face to find out if I truly cared or not if he was okay .


    Once he got the answer he needed , he let out a breath .


    Yeah … shes going to make thingsplicated , he murmured .


    She cant take no as an answer .


    You did right by telling her there wasnt a chance , I told him .


    No good woulde from leading her on .


    He nodded .


    Yeah , I truly dont want to hurt anyone .


    Im always upfront about my intentions .


    I never thought that I would ever find my mate though … truthfully , I didnt think I even wanted a mate .


    And now ? I prodded .


    He was quiet for a moment , his eyes shifting from my face to the ground .


    Im still not sure , he admitted .


    But the second I saw her .


    I knew I needed to see her again .


    I cant let her go without talking to her first .


    Harper was right , I dont know her .


    I havent truly spoken to her .


    If I let her go … it reject her … I would always regret not talking to her first .


    I stared at him for a moment , trying to process his words .


    Then , I nodded .


    Okay … so what do you suggest ? I asked him .


    Do you think you can have here here ? He asked .


    Maybe tonight ? I can talk to her and then we can decide together what to do .


    I think I owe it to her to at least talk to her and include her in this decision after all .


    Rejection could destroy her and her wolf if we arent on the same page about things .


    I bit my lower lip , my heart aching for my best friend .


    I agree that you owe that much to her , I told him .


    But its going to have to wait until shes feeling up for it .


    Shes in the hospital until tomorrow .


    Chesters eyes shot to me and I watched as his face paled .


    W … what ? He asked , straightening his body .


    What are you talking about ? Shes in the hospital , I repeated , folding my arms across my chest .


    She spent thest few days drinking and then one of the beers she had was expired .


    She got alcohol poisoning .


    She had surgery earlier and now shes recovering .


    I swear , Chester stopped breathing as he stared at me .


    After what felt like a long time , I waved my hand in front of his face , he blinked a few times as if he was now just remembering where he was .


    I need to see her , he said as he rushed past me .


    Woah there , I said , grabbing his arm .


    I think shes been through enough , Chester .


    He whipped around to face me , his wolf at the surface and his eyes wild .


    What ? He asked .


    1/2  Chapter 02409 I said , shes been through enough .


    Let her rest , I repeated .


    Ill bring her here tomorrow and then you can talk .


    But for now , just let it go .


    He stared at me for a moment longer and I thought he was poing to resist my request and leave .


    But he surprised me by relenting .


    He sighed and dropped his hands , groaning softly .


    I patted him on the back .


    Get some sleep , I told him .


    Because tomorrow , we are going to get Nan from the hospital .


    And you sir , are : driving .
