Chapter 87 Killianâs blank as we rushed Astrid to the hospital. After she fell ground, our Pack warriors arrived to help us, and brought her to the hospital as soon as we could.
held Astridâs hand as comfort, and I never took my eyes off her as we rushed her to the emergency room.
My hands trembled slightly as I gazed upon her still form, her breathing faint and shallow as she lay on the hospital bed.
Her once steady rhythm of pulse now faltered as I pressed my fingers against her wrist, filling me with a growing sense of dread.
My eyes dart nervously to her abdomen. The swell is a stark reminder of the precious life growing inside of her.
The precious life that could also be mine.
I was taken aback when a nurse blocked me from my path, separating me from Astrid. I held my arm out to Astrid as the nurses continued to push her away from me and entered the emergency room.
âSir, you need to wait outside. No one is allowed inside the emergency room,â the nurse explained to me when he saw my expression.
My shoulders slumped, and I opened my mouth to protest, but I stopped myself, knowing that they just wanted what was best for Astrid. Itâs best for Astrid if I do as they say.
I could only watch as the nurse turned away, disappearing Through the swinging doors 4 just stood there dreadfally, with a sinking feeling settling in The pit of my stomach e âAcridi What happened to her where is she?!â Drysta shruned filling the hallways with his loud voice.
He held me by my collar as he forced me to face him.
âSheâs inside the emergency room,â I spoke lifelessly.
Drystanâs face ran cold, and his hold on my shirt loosened. He took a step back and stared at the emergency room, fear clouding his face.
4âhow is she?â Drystan asked me. His Adamâs apple bobbed as he swallowed hard.
The heavy silence that hung between us only heightened the sense of dread coiling in the pit of his stomach.
âSheâs in critical condition,â I answered him, unable to look at his face.
âIs she going to be okay? What about the child? Is he alright?â Drystan asked with a desperate look his eyes.
I finally lifted my eyes to him when I heard his question. I am surprised by the way he addressed Astridâs child; it seemed like the life inside of her wasnât his at all.
Could it really be possible that-
âThe child has to survive no matter what. Astrid wonât be able to handle it if her unborn child dies,â Drystan adds, oblivious to the shock written all over my face.
I turned around, breaking eye contact with him. Iâm not even sure if Astrid is survive the .
that has poured Drystan sat on the chair nearest him as my silence shattered his resolve.
I shouldnât have brought her your . I should have said no to her. I should have tried my best convince her not to go.â Drystan spoke remorsefully as he burrowed his face into his palms My brows furrowed as I remembered how I found Astrid hanging at the abandoned building, begging for her life.
Someone had to put Astrid there. Itâs impossible that she hanged herself there. Someone is trying to kill Astrid.
I glanced at Drystan, watching as he blamed himself for what happened to Astrid.
I couldnât think of anyone who would want Astrid dead. Nightsong Pack doesnât have any enemies who will take revenge on Astrid.
I wonder who would dare to harm her while sheâs inside my own Pack. Who else would Astrid have offended that they would want to kill her?
My eyebrows shot up when I remembered how suspicious Drystan felt about Giselle.
I remember Drystan telling me that Astrid was supposed to meet with Giselle and then talk to me. However, Giselle insisted that she hadnât seen Giselle.
Was she kidnapped before she met Giselle, or was Giselle lying to us just like Drystan had sensed about her?
âKâKillian, where is Astrid? How is she?
came as soon as heard!: Before I could entertain the Behind , was keeping her .
Giselle?â I her name in surprise, not expecting that I here.
âHow is she?â Giselle asked me worriedly as she looked at the doors of the emergency room with a sad look on her face.
Even though Astrid had tried to harm her many times before, she still hadnât grown any resentment towards Astrid. How could I accuse Giselle of trying to harm Astrid?
âIs she alright?â Giselle asked once again when no one answered her.
She will be okay,â I assured her.
Giselle heaved a sigh of relief when she heard my answer. The Pack Warriors told me everything. I donât think this is an accident. Killian you should investigate this matter further,â Giselle spoke pleadingly as she tugged my arm.
Seeing how worried she was and how much she wanted to help Astrid. I knew she couldnât possibly be the person behind this.
