Caroline’s POV
Eleanor and I got into the car after landing at Harbor Bay International. Liam was so tired from the flight that as soon as we got home, we put him to bed.
I had taken almost a week off with Eleanor. During this week, I completely handed my phone to Eleanor and turned it off, cutting off all contact with the outside world. Now that we were back in the city, I had to face reality.
I could already imagine seeing Ella’s post happily announcing her marriage to Draven. Eleanor gave my phone back to me and I started looking through the messages. Suddenly, her expression changed.
"Elle, what’s wrong?" I asked curiously.
Eleanor stared at me. "Carrie, we need to go to Ryan’s house right now. It’s about Alpha Draven."
My heart raced with panic. "What happened? Is Draven in trouble?" I couldn’t deny that I still cared about Draven when hearing his news.
Eleanor said seriously, "It’s a big deal, a really big one. I’ll tell Nate right now and ask them to wait for us at Ryan’s."
Then the two of us rushed to Ryan’s house. All the way there, I was worried that something bad had happened to Draven.
When we arrived at Ryan’s house, I was shocked. Everyone was there, even Clara via video-conference, and it seemed like everyone was crying. My head started spinning. In just a few seconds, I thought of the worst-case scenarios. My knees went weak, and I fainted.
When I came to, I was lying on the couch, and Draven was kneeling beside me, holding my hand with red-rimmed eyes.
"My love, are you okay?" he asked, his voice thick with concern.
"I’m worried. What’s going on? Why is everyone here?" I asked, feeling dazed.
Rory spoke in my mind. "What the hell is happening? I’m so confused."
"Calm down, my love. Everything’s fine. We’ll tell you everything. But first, I want to make sure you’re okay," Draven said while kissing my hand.
"Is it about your parents’ accident?" I asked.
He shook his head no. "About the company?" He denied again.
Just as I was about to ask more questions, Dr. Molina rushed in, heading straight for me.
"Dear, how are you?" he asked kindly. Draven stood up to give him space.
"Fine, I think it was just a drop in blood pressure," I said.
"Lucky I live in the same complex as Ryan and was home," Dr. Molina said. "May I examine you?"
"Of course, doctor."
After the examination, Dr. Molina concluded that it wasn’t anything serious, just a drop in blood pressure due to all the stress I had been going through.
"Caroline, you need peace and quiet, and you know that," he said seriously.
"Yes, but there’s so much going on."
"If you don’t take care of yourself, I’ll call your father to come get you and take you to the country house."
"No way, Dr. Molina. No one’s taking Caroline away from me," Draven rushed to say. "I’ll sort everything out."
"You better, Alpha Draven," the doctor gave him a warning look.
"Doctor, could you stay a bit longer? I have something to tell Caroline, but I’m worried she might feel unwell again," Draven asked, and my anxiety spiked.
"Calm down, friend. Drink this tea," Eleanor put a cup in my hand.
"No problem, I can stay. Would you like me to wait outside?" Dr. Molina asked.
"Not at all, doctor. I think you’ll like what I have to say," Draven smiled.
"Excellent, I love happy endings," Dr. Molina crossed his legs and accepted the coffee Ryan offered him.
"I don’t understand anything anymore. When I arrived, you were all crying. Now it seems like it’s good news. What’s going on?" I asked nervously.
"My love, Alpha Arthur found the woman I’ve been looking for," Draven said, and I caught my breath. I immediately thought it was Liz and felt a pang of jealousy in my heart, but my pride stopped me from asking.
"Breathe, my love. Stay calm."Draven tried to comfort me.
