Wolves of my pack 88

Chapter 88 Pretending to Be Together Before Ruby's mother could even finish surgery , I suddenly got a call from Raelynn . Her voice was choked with sobs on the other end . " The doctor said my mom is hemorrhaging - she's almost gone ! " " What ?! " The first thought that flashed through my mind was that Andrix had done something . But I quickly realized how absurd that sounded . With everyone else in the hospital at a loss , I had no choice but to go find Andrix myself . " Andrix , can you save Ruby's mom ? " I couldn't hide the pleading in my voice - this was for Ruby's mother .

" I told you before , " Andrix said , leaning forward with a smile , eyes fixed on my face , " I need a reason to save someone . " " What do you want ? Just say it ." Looking at that smug expression of his , I suddenly felt like I didn't know him at all . The Andrix I used to know wasn't like this . He was easygoing and kind . Now , he looked like a sharp , calculating businessman . " I want ... " Andrix sighed deeply . " I want you . " My eyes widened . " Why ? " He gave a sly smile . " I've liked you - probably longer than Aiden has ." " You told me before you didn't have feelings for me .

Wouldn't it make you uncomfortable to be with me ? " I couldn't make sense of this man anymore . He was acting so strangely . He claimed not to like me , yet insisted on claiming something that was never his to begin with . Andrix's gaze turned soft , almost affectionate . " How could I not like you ? That was just an answer to your question . It doesn't mean I don't like you . " " That's not happening . I'll agree to anything else - but not that ." I felt nothing for Andrix . The idea of being with him was impossible . " Anything else , and I'm not interested . " He stretched lazily .

" Think it over . But I should warn you , that girl's mother might not last much longer . You better decide quickly .

" My voice turned icy , my anger surging at the smug look growing on his face . " I'm a person first , then a doctor . People have desires . So do I. " Just then , my phone rang violently . Ruby's name flashed across the screen . I took a deep breath . " Fine . I'll do it .

" " You'd better not go back on your word after the surgery ," he said with a chuckle . " Post - op recovery is going to take at least three months . " " I get it . So hurry up and go already . " " Don't be so fierce . I'm your boyfriend now , remember ? You should be nicer to me . " Andrix stretched again , then stood up . " Alright , I'm going now . Be good and wait for me . " As he walked past , he pinched my cheek and left with a grin . I immediately rubbed my face hard , feeling nothing but disgust . But I needed his help . I couldn't afford to turn him down .

We'd just saved Ruby's mom - I couldn't let her down now . I went to the surgical waiting area . Ruby was crying her heart out , and I reached out to hold her . " My mom won't leave me , right ? " " No. She'll stay by your side . Always . " The surgery lasted nearly ten hours . When Andrix finally walked out , it was already early the next morning . He was still wearing his white coat . Even though he had a mask on , the exhaustion on his face was clear . " The surgery's over . It was a success . You don't need to worry anymore . " He smiled as he broke the news to Ruby .

Seeing her smile with relief , I finally felt the tension ease inside me too . " Raelynn , come with me to the office ," Andrix said , turning his head , his eyes fixed on me . " Alright ." I followed him back to his office . He took off his white coat and changed into his regular clothes , then suddenly reached out and grabbed my hand . I was startled and instinctively tried to pull away . 213 15:53 Wed , Aug 6 Chapter 88 Pretending to Be Together " What are you doing ? " Andrix frowned . " What's wrong ? Aren't we a couple now ? Why can't I hold your hand ? " I clenched my jaw .

" Isn't this a bit too fast ? " " You'll get used to it . It's not a big deal - relax ." 1 held back my frustration and didn't shake him off . He led me by the hand out the door - and the moment we stepped out , we ran straight into Aiden . " You two ? " Aiden's eyes locked onto our intertwined fingers , and his expression instantly darkened . Andrix raised his eyebrows and smiled smugly . " We're grabbing a late - night bite . Want to come ? " Aiden's voice was cold . " What's your relationship ? " Andrix tightened his grip on my hand and waved it in front of him . " What , you can't tell ?
