Nora:

“So, what’s going on with her?” Nash asked. I had passed out again after hearing all the commotion. I woke up to a pair of cold hands touching my forehead and arms.

“She’s running a fever, but it should come down soon. Give her this. medicine, and she’ll be fine,” Silas said, his voice coming from close by. He sat right beside me, checking on me.

“What’s that?” Silas asked, touching my ring.

“Her finger’s turning blue. Do you think she’s losing blood in her finger?” Nash asked, and I started to force myself to snap out of it. I didn’t want them to take that ring off

“This ring used to be pretty loose on her finger, right?” Silas inquired.

“Do you think the illness affected her fingers?” Nash continued.

“I don’t know. It doesn’t seem so; they still look pretty slender and sexy to me,” Silas’s comment was met with a scoff from Nash.

“Please, after what happened, just spare such remarks.” Nash grunted

at him.

“What are you two doing?” Ryker’s voice came, and I relaxed as I felt him release my hand from Silas’s grasp.

“I think we should take off her ring, or else she might lose her finger,” Silas suggested.

I wasn’t sure what they were talking about. I didn’t feel any pain in my finger. Was it really turning blue? And if so, why?

“That’s none of our business,” however, Ryker somewhat shocked me with his response, “she’s dating that alpha. Let him deal with her issues. Why should we worry when she doesn’t give a damn about her brothers not liking that asshole?”

I was shocked, and I’m sure his brothers were too because none of them. spoke for a while until Silas spoke up.

“I don’t know about you guys, but I take my patients seriously.”

“She’s not a patient. She’s just stressed,” Ryker scoffed, “I’m sure beating up her boyfriend made her a bit disappointed in him, and the anger reached her head.”

I had to wake up now to glare at him. He was unbelievably arrogant, and finally, I started to open my eyes.

“Okay, she’s waking up. Those who have a problem with her should just leave,” Nash commented, and the moment I opened my eyes, I watched Ryker leave.

“You’re okay now,” Nash leaned over me and smiled, his fingers brushing my cheek as he tried to tuck away bothersome strands of hair. He quickly withdrew his hand at Silas’s remark.

“Someone said not to do anything inappropriate anymore,” he muttered under his breath, filling a spoon with medicine for me. Nash rolled his eyes at the reminder of his earlier joke that Silas had teased him about.

“Come on, big girl, get up!” Silas encouraged, holding the spoon towards me.

I struggled to keep my eyes open, but thanks to Nash who lifted me

slightly and helped me sit up, I managed. Silas leaned over me, and that’s when our eyes met as he offered me the medicine.

His eyes!

They were so beautiful, a stunning shade of gray. In fact, as I kept staring into his eyes, I noticed the gray color seemed to shift. It began to swirl and coalesce, forming what looked like a full moon. No, not a moon, it was actually a crescent moon. But then black started to blend. in with it. The gray was trying to escape from the black, and I was completely absorbed in what was happening. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“Hey!” Suddenly, a sharp noise snapped my attention away from Silas’s eyes. Nash had pushed Silas back and away from me.

“I’ll kill you if you did that again,” Nash’s voice growled beside me.

What did Silas do?

“Fine. I was just trying to make sure she’s okay.” Silas raised his hands in surrender, stepping back while Nash continued to glare at him.

“What happened?” I asked in a timid voice, causing Nash to turn and face me. Silas lowered his hands and glanced at me from behind Nash, a faint smirk appearing on his lips before he slid his hands into his pockets and walked out of the room.

“Look at me. Don’t let him take care of you without my help, okay?” Nash’s tone was serious, but I couldn’t understand why.

“His medicine is already working.” I grinned foolishly, trying to convey to Nash that Silas seemed to know what he was doing.

“No! Listen to me, okay? Don’t let him treat you. Especially after he

gives you medicine, don’t look him in the eye. In fact, after the

medicine, don’t look at him at

medicine, don’t look at him at all,” his warning sent shivers down my

spine.

I couldn’t understand what had upset Nash so much and made Silas leave the room.

“Okay,” I shrugged, not really grasping his point.

“Nora! You might think I’m crazy, but I’m saying this for your own good,” he sat down with me after calming down. He seemed more frightened than I was.

“But Nash! He didn’t do anything. He was just taking care of me,” I smiled at him, letting him know Silas’s medicine worked like a charm.

“I’m sure he was. He’s an excellent doctor. But remember, whenever he gives you medicine, you become his patient. Right after you take the medicine, don’t look him directly in the eye, or just avoid him entirely,” he repeated himself, making me frown.

“He was taking care of me, don’t worry.” I reassured, until he finally explained why he was so concerned for me.

“He was hypnotizing you,” he finished, and my mouth dropped open.

“Huh?”

“I’m sure he was doing it to find out what happened to you. But I’m not sure if you want him to know things about you that even you don’t,” his words scared me.

Silas could hypnotize someone?

“Don’t look too surprised. He’s not the best healer for nothing,” he muttered, then added, “but don’t worry, he doesn’t harm his patients.”

I don’t know why, but suddenly I was afraid of Silas.
