Chapter 97
The infirmary. Ava had missed it. As she slowly blinked the sleep out of her eyes, she heard the beeping of the machines and realised she was hooked up to some IVS.
The curtains were drawn around her bed, so she knew she wasn’t in a private room this time. She could hear faint moaning from one side of her. It made her wonder what had happened to that poor student for them to be in that much pain because all the students healed quickly, and the Infirmary had their fancy potions to help them
She gingerly lifted herself onto her elbows and looked around, trying to judge the time. The dim lights were an, so it was nighttime, but whether it was still the same day was up for debate. She hoped so. This would be a brilliant time to be unconscious for days so she wouldn’t have to participate in the rest of the evaluation
There was a slight commotion somewhere in the ward, and a female voice saying, “We told you to come back during visiting hours. There are too many patients tonight, you can’t disrupt….
And then somebody pulled her curtain open. She wasn’t surprised to see Zeke standing there as a nurse followed behind him. The moment their gazes met, she could see the relief on his face, and she had to admit that a part of her felt more settled when she saw him.
“Just discharge her. You know you need the beds,” Zeke growled at the nurse still whispering behind him.
“The doctors will do the rounds-”
“Whether you discharge her or not, she’s going home now,” he told the nurse as he came forward. He inspected her from head to toe and looked at the machines as if he knew what he was doing. Maybe he did.
“How are you feeling?” he asked.
“Great”
And she was. She felt back to her old self. Whatever potion Mr Patrick gave her must have worked out of her system
He nodded and turned back to the nurse.
“Unhook my Omega from all those machines,” he ordered,
The woman flinched and then started to do as she was told it didn’t take long for the nurse to remove the needles from her arm and apply little dressings to stop the bleeding.
The doctors were not sure what made her react so violently even to their treatment. They want to do more tests the nurse tried again. “She almost died twice.”
What Her eyes widened as she looked at the terrified nurse. Had the potion been that deadly! Had Mr Patrick known she could have died by taking
Either way, she didn’t want the doctors doing more tests on her. The last thing she wanted was for anyone to know she had done this to herself.
“I’m fine,” the said as she stood from the bed. “Go and take care of whoever is in the bed next to mine; they sound like they need you more”
The nurse looked from her to the Alpha next to her before the nodded and left them alone. Zeke then held up his hand, and she saw he had her bug with him.
“They had to throw away everything you wore, but I noticed you packed a change of clothes. It’s almost as if you were expecting this,” he said with a pointed look. “I’ll wait outside”
She ignored his comment as she watched him walk out and then sniffed herself the moment he closed the curtain behind him. She threw her head back at the uell and leaved. It looked like they had cleaned her up as well as they could, but she could still smell the contents of her stomach all over her. Maybe that was why her neighbour was moaning. It was awful.
She quickly took the hospital gown off and dressed in clean clothes before reopening the curtain. Zeke took her bag from her and started walking without a word Was he angry? She couldn’t tell just by looking at him as she followed behind him.
The Infirmary looked busier, but judging by the number of students carried out of the arena on streichers, she supposed that was to be expected. How many more would end up here tomorrow and the day after?

The moment he parked, she let herself out of the car and rushed to enter the house. She was halfway up the stairs when he spoke
