Chapter 40


    *** Smith Bridget P.O.V ***


    I tried to think of Deli as I saw her in the dream. I tried to think of the beautiful white wolf I saw in


    my dream. I tried shifting. But I just couldn’t. The pain that followed my stubborn choice was


    unbearable.


    I screamed out in pain and held my head. I could hear someone saying something faintly but didn’t


    hear what he or she was saying. The next thing I saw was darkness. Did I pass out?


    *** William P.O.V ***


    I rushed to Bridget as soon as she passed out on the bed. Why is she doing this to herself? She


    shouldn’t try to force things. I held her hand and winced in pain. Her body is burning up with a fever.


    Her body even felt too hot to touch. I released her hand and rushed out. On my way out, I bumped


    into Stephanie. I held her hands and said, “Call the doctor. Something is wrong with Bridget.”


    Stephanie looked worried as she brought out her phone to call the doctor. As soon as she finished


    informing the doctor toe over quickly and check on Bridget, she turned to me.


    “William, what’s wrong with Bridget? She was fine yesterday. How did she suddenly be ill?”


    she asked me. I paced up and down the hallway worriedly.


    My fingers drove into my hair, scattering the soft strands roughly. “She was fine. I woke her up


    cause I was scared she is spending too much time sleeping. That was when she burst into tearsN?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    and began to tell me about the wolves she saw in her dream. She ims to have seen her wolf and


    Mark against night,” I answered.


    She nodded and gave me a look that urged me to speak further, “She said something about her


    wolf wanting toe out. Then the next thing I knew, she closed her eyes. If I am not wrong, she


    must have tried shifting. She suddenly screamed and then passed out. It was only when I moved


    closer to touch her that I found out that she was burning up with fever.”


    Stephanie looked somehow perplexed. She asked with a very confused look, “Why would she


    pass out and start burning up with fever? Is it normal? Does this always happen whenever she tries


    to shift?”


    When she asked me these questions, I remembered that she doesn’t know about Bridget’s


    condition or her past. I frowned and quietly replied, “Bridget can’t shift.”


    Stephanie gasped and looked at me in disbelief. “What!? Isn’t she a wolf? Why can’t she shift?”


    I sighed and mumbled, “It is a long story. I can’t start exining. How long will it take for the doctor


    to get here?”


    She smiled sadly at me and said, “He will be here in a few minutes. He wasn’t far from here when I


    called him so he should be here anytime soon.”


    I nodded and took in deep breaths. I tried to calm myself down. I waited for like five minutes but


    the doctor still hasn’t arrived. I looked at Stephanie and told her, “I am going back to the room. I


    don’t want to leave her alone for so long. Call the doctor and ask him to hurry up. Send him to the


    room when he gets here.”


    She nodded at my instructions and I walked back to the room just in time to hear Bridget moan in


    pain. I rushed back to her and tried to touch her hand but I immediately withdrew my hand from


    hers. It feels like I touched a burning furnace.


    I couldn’t do anything except stand there and watch her moan in pain. I have never felt so helpless


    in my life. I hate feeling this way.


    I can’t bear to see her in pain. I can’t bear to watch her in pain like this, yet do nothing. I don’t


    know for how long I have been standing there with my heart clenching in pain with every pain-filled


    moan she makes.


    The door opened and everyone trooped in. Danie was the first to inquire about what was wrong


    with Bridget. I told all of them everything I told Stephanie earlier.


    Only Danie and Liam understood since they already know about her condition. Todd looked


    extremely confused but that doesn’t matter right now. Before Todd could ask me any questions, I


    faced the doctor and asked him in a hurry, “What is wrong with her? Why does she suddenly have a


    fever?”


    “Hold on for a minute sir. Let me examine her,” the doctor replied making me frown. Why is he so


    slow? He was slow in getting here and now treating her is a problem. Why is the damn doctor slow?


    Even if I wanted to say something, I kept it in. Her health matters first. I will wait for him to examine


    her and then ask him what is wrong with my mate.


    He finished examining her and faced me. His next words shocked me greatly. I watched him in


    disbelief when he said, “Sir, there is nothing wrong with her. She is perfectly fine.”


    I looked at him like he was crazy. What is he saying? Someone is burning up like this and he is


    saying she is perfectly fine. Wherever he learnt this medical practice, he clearly didn’tplete his


    training. That’s why he has the guts to tell me nonsense.


    “What are you saying, Jack? Did you check her properly? He said she is burning up with fever,”


    Stephanie told him when she saw how angry I look. When she saw the way I looked at him like I


    wanted to strangle him.


    “Yes, Luna. She is fine. I already examined her carefully. She is just sleeping. She needs rest,” he


    repeated the nonsense I didn’t want to hear him say.


    I walked to Bridget and held her hand. I was just gonna yell at him that can’t feel how high her


    temperature is!? Can’t he feel the way she is burning up!?


    I was just about to yell at him when I noticed something. I looked at him in surprise and he smiled


    at me.
