Chapter 169

**Chapter 0169**
**Judy’s POV**

“You’re a miracle worker,” Beta Taylor said, her voice filled with awe. “There’s not even a scar left.”

“I can’t take all the credit,” replied a woman’s voice.

The wolf was strong and had healed most of her injuries. All that was left was to apply some ointment to help with the external wounds.

“Alpha Gavin will be pleased when he sees her,” Taylor said. “When do you think she’ll be ready?”

“Wake up?”

The woman spoke softly, clearly very tired. “I’m exhausted and really thirsty. I might have lost some weight this week, too.” She paused, looking thoughtful. “I can’t imagine what she went through this week. We should let her rest for a bit.”

I groaned as my fingers started to move again, and the voices around me slowly faded away. I managed to open my eyes, but quickly shut them again when I was blinded by the bright light in the room. I could tell I was in bed.

I could hear the soft beeping of the heart monitor next to the bed. I realized I must be in the hospital. My mind flashed back to Beta Taylor carrying me out of the Cash family manor. Then everything went dark as I lost consciousness.

He must have brought me to Silver Crescent Hospital, which was famous for having the best doctors in the world.

“It seems she’s waking up now,” the woman said, sounding pleased.

“Once again, you’re a miracle worker,” she continued.

“Look at this amazing woman,” Taylor said, pride shining in her voice.

She chuckled, and for the first time, her laughter felt almost personal. I furrowed my brows, trying to understand the situation as I moved my head around, getting a sense of my body. Thankfully,

I wasn’t feeling any pain, and I could even move my hand, which meant it was no longer sprained.

“Behave yourself, Taylor,” the woman said.

I heard him kissing her and heard her soft chuckles. When

I opened my eyes for the second time, and it was a bit easier this time. I turned my head and saw Taylor. She was playfully shoving someone away after he kissed her cheek.

“Not while I’m working,” she said softly, smiling as she pushed him away.

“I’ve missed you,” he said. “You’ve been gone too long.”

“It’s my job,” she replied. “There was an emergency in a different pack that I had to handle. But I’m back now.”

“I’m not going anywhere for a while,” she said, smiling at him. “We have time to catch up.”

He pouted and wrapped his arms around her.

“I know,” he sighed. “But it’s not fair. No one else is separated from…”

“Mate?!”

I couldn’t believe it. This woman was Beta Taylor’s mate? I knew Taylor was mated, but I never thought much about it. I had no idea who his mate was.

“It’s been two weeks,” she chuckled.

Neither of them noticed that my eyes were now open. While they chatted easily, I listened in quietly.

As they kept talking, I took a moment to look her over. She was really pretty, with long blond hair pulled back into a neat ponytail. Her large, framed glasses added to her charm. She wore a long white doctor’s coat with a pink shirt underneath.

She wore a collared shirt underneath. She was tall and thin, but not as tall as Taylor. He stood over her by at least a foot, and they looked so comfortable together.

It felt strange to see Taylor like this.

Taylor was the first to see that I was awake, and his eyes went wide with surprise.

“Oh, sorry!” he said, stepping away from his friend. “I didn’t realize you were awake. How are you?”

His sudden attention made my heart melt a little.

The doctor looked at me, her eyes widening in surprise, and her cheeks turned a bright pink. “I’m so sorry,” she said, quickly straightening her coat. “Do you feel any pain? Can you speak?”

I licked my dry lips.

“I think so,” I said hoarsely. “Um… do you have any water?”

“Oh, of course,” she replied quickly, reaching for a water bottle from the mini fridge nearby. She handed it to me, and I took a grateful sip.

She brought it over to me. She opened the top, cracked the seal, and held it to my lips, helping me take a slow and steady sip. The cold water soothed my aching throat and made me feel a million times better.

I couldn’t remember the last time I had a drink of water, but I knew it was exactly what I needed.

“How long have I been here?” I asked, looking between the two of them.

“Only for the night,” one of them replied.

“Taylor said, “You slept all night and into the morning. It’s mid-morning right now.”

I nodded and looked around. I realized I was in a hospital. The Silver Crescent symbol was clearly visible on the walls.

The doctor looked at me and said, “You were very tired and dehydrated. But other than that, you are healthy, and all your injuries have healed.”

I was relieved but still curious. “What about my face?” I asked.

I remembered how Kelsey had scratched my cheek with her Wolfsbane nail polish. I reached up to touch it, but I felt nothing there.

“Your face looks as good as new,” the doctor said with a smile. “Not even a scar.”
