Ch 41: One complication after another

Emily rushed Rika to the hospital as soon as she could. She had left Damian behind to clean up the mess they had caused.

Emily, with a flicker of confidence, believed that her boyfriend, Damian, was more than capable of handling the aftermath. And if he faltered, Alpha Goodwill would be their steadfast pillar of support.

Emily, torn between her disdain for Rika's family and her need for assistance, reluctantly exploits them for her own purposes.

She had chosen a general hospital rather than one associated with their family or business. That way, the chances of Rika being recognised and having a repeat of what happened were slim.

But the doctor, seemingly taking an eternity to emerge from Rika's room, was causing a knot of worry to tighten in Emily's stomach.

The examination should have taken at most fifteen minutes, but it was already half an hour.
