Chapter 245

**Chapter 0245**
**Judy’s POV**

Thanks to Taylor’s help, the ambulance arrived quickly. I went with Nan to the hospital and sat in the waiting room while Taylor made some phone calls. I felt anxious as I waited, unsure of what would happen next.

My body shook, and tears streamed down my face. I wished I had come to check on her sooner. I didn’t see any visible injuries on her, but she looked so pale, and dark circles were under her eyes. There was a feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach as I realized how much I had delayed.

There weren’t any drug bottles, just beer bottles and different kinds of liquor. I felt uneasy and didn’t know what was wrong, but it terrified me.

When we arrived, I was relieved to see Elizabeth. She quickly reassured me that she would take care of everything.

My friend Taylor gave me a quick kiss before she left to talk to the EMTs who had brought my grandmother into the emergency room. I’m not sure how long we waited in the waiting room, but soon Taylor came back to join me again.

“You don’t have to worry,” she said, trying to comfort me.

“Stay,” I told him. “I know you’re busy.”

He shrugged one shoulder and leaned back in his seat.

“Well,” he said, “part of my job right now is to look after you. So, that’s what I plan to do.”

“Why do you have to look after me?” I asked him, noticing that he was serious.

Gavin is stuck at work right now. He’s been behind on his tasks, and it’s clear he has a lot on his plate.

Taylor explained, “Now that Alpha Levi is part of the pack, he has important matters to handle, especially while caring for his daughter.”

The way he said this made me curious. It made me wonder if he truly understood the situation.

My relationship with Gavin was complicated. I wondered if Gavin had told Taylor that we were sleeping together. Taylor didn’t look at me; instead, he focused on the ground in front of him.

“I wasn’t really expecting Gavin to be here,” I said.

Taylor spoke quietly after a brief pause. “He wanted to be here,” she said to me. “But instead, he asked me to stay with you and to tell him anything I can.”

I nodded, thinking about her words as I chewed my food.

I bit my bottom lip, unsure of what to say. My relationship with Gavin had felt shaky lately since he hardly ever spent time with me anymore. When he was around, he often ignored me, which made it hard to believe he actually cared at all.

Eliza walked into the room through the emergency door. She looked tired and a bit distant. It seemed like she had a lot on her mind, but maybe she was just putting on a show for Taylor or something like that.

As she entered, her eyes scanned the room, taking in what was happening around her. She tried to shake off the weariness and focus on the moment, but it was clear that something was weighing her down.

Taylor saw his mate sitting in the waiting room. Her face softened, and she looked a little more relaxed. Just being near him made her feel better. Without hesitation, Taylor stood up and walked over to her.

I watched as he wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.

It made my heart ache to see them together. That’s what a true partner looks like: someone who cares and loves you no matter what. They stand by you during your toughest times. This is the kind of person you always dream of being with.

Eliza looked at me, and I noticed a hint of sadness in her eyes. It made my stomach feel tight.

“She has alcohol poisoning,” Eliza said. Her words caught me off guard, and I held my breath for a moment.

She took a sharp breath. “One or more of the drinks she had was expired,” the doctor said. “I’ve just booked an operating room, so I’m going to pump her stomach myself. Thankfully, you brought her in when you did. She has a 90% chance of making it.”

I let out a breath of relief.

“Thank Goddess…” I whispered.

“I’m about to start the surgery in a few minutes. I just wanted to update you. I’ll let you know how it goes in a couple of hours.”

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Lily who loved to explore the forest near her home. Every day after school, she would wander among the trees, discovering new paths and hidden spots.

One sunny afternoon, as she walked deeper into the woods, she stumbled upon a sparkling stream. The water danced over the stones, and Lily felt a sense of magic in the air. She decided to follow the stream, curious to see where it would lead.

As she walked, she noticed colorful flowers and heard birds singing. Suddenly, she saw a small, furry creature peeking out from behind a bush. It was a tiny rabbit with big, bright eyes. Lily knelt down and spoke softly, “Hello there, little friend. What are you doing?”

To her surprise, the rabbit twitched its nose and hopped closer. “I’m looking for food,” it replied in a gentle voice. Lily gasped in delight. She had never spoken to a rabbit before!

“Can I help you?” she asked eagerly. The rabbit nodded, and together they searched for tasty snacks. They found clovers, dandelions, and even some sweet berries.

After their little adventure, the rabbit thanked Lily and promised to meet her again. With a smile on her face, Lily headed home, excited to tell her family about her new friend. She couldn’t wait for her next adventure in the magical forest.
