Chapter 105
Eric was a doctor. He could tell at a glance whether the patient was lying or not. And this woman was lying.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
He glanced at Taya's legs. They were swollen, and she'd said she had a heart issue...it was mostly likely a sign that she was in the end stages of heart failure. More interesting was that she was human... Why did an Alpha like Jackson care to have a doctor rush over in the middle of the night to care for a dying human? Since the patient didn't want him to treat her, he wouldn't force her. He put away the stethoscope.
"Why was she glancing at Jackson and clearly afraid of him?
Eric gave Taya a slight nod and tried to convey to her that he knew what was going on.
"Jackson, she won't even let me check her. What on earth did you do to her?" Eric took a step back and grinned at Jackson. "Or do you mean to tell me that you've gone so Alpha on her that she can't bear to have another man touch her?"
He wouldn't expose Taya. It wasn't his place to do so.
But she wouldn't be able to hide her condition for long.
Eric walked over to the gloomy-looking Jackson, covered his mouth, and whispered, "Who is she?"
"A friend," Jackson said in his growly voice that indicated he wasn't going to say anything more about the situation.
Eric didn't believe him. Jackson never had any females around him, human or she-wolf. And Jackson certainly didn't have any friends other than Eric. Jackson wasn't someone who was concerned with "making friends".
"There's nothing else for you to do here. You can leave," Jackson commanded with a dismissive wave of his hand.
"I see how it is." Eric picked up his medical bag. "Call me out of bed in the middle of the night, and then just dismiss me without a word of thanks. I forgot...you're the big Alpha and everyone only exists to serve you."
Shaking his head, he walked to the door. When he reached it, he looked back again.
Seeing Jackson standing before the bed with his hands in his pockets and looking at the woman on the bed with a worried expression, Eric quickly took a photo with his phone.
He sent the photo to his brothers' group chat and added, "Seems I found the reason Jackson's been MIA lately..."
The group chat immediately burst into an uproar, just like a bunch of gossipy she-wolves.
It didn't take long for the news to spread to Preston.
