Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238: Chapter 238 Awakening

Caroline’s POV

I sat beside Draven’s hospital bed, my hand tightly gripping his.

Thirty-six hours had passed since his surgery, and he still hadn’t opened his eyes.

The doctor had just assured me he was stable and that we simply needed to wait when I felt the slightest pressure against my fingers.

My head shot up instantly. Those beautiful violet eyes I’d been desperate to see were finally open, bringing light back into my world.

"Draven, my love! Finally..." I couldn’t stop the smile spreading across my face. "Don’t move, don’t touch anything. I’ll get the doctor."

I rushed to the nurses’ station across from the ICU room and quickly informed them that Alpha Draven had regained consciousness. Within seconds, I was back at his side, clutching his hand again.

"My love, I was so scared," I whispered, feeling tears of relief threatening to spill.

Dr. Wright entered with a confident smile. "So our most-visited patient has finally decided to join us. Alpha Draven, I’m Dr. Wright. You’re here because you sustained a gunshot wound. I need to examine you now, so please follow my instructions."

The doctor performed a thorough evaluation, checking Draven’s strength, reflexes, and monitoring his vitals. After completing his assessment, he explained that he would remove the tube, warning Draven that his throat might feel irritated for several days afterward.

"Now tell me, how do you feel?" Dr. Wright asked.

"Alive," Draven answered with a weak smile. "But in a lot of pain."

"That’s to be expected. You underwent a six-hour surgical procedure to remove a bullet and have been unconscious for almost two days." The doctor proceeded to explain Draven’s condition in detail, outlining the recovery process ahead.

Once we were alone, Draven turned his tired eyes to me. "Sweetheart, tell me what happened. Why do I remember seeing you in that office?"

"Because I wasn’t going to hide in a corner knowing you were in danger," I replied firmly, giving him a serious look.

His gaze softened. "How long have you been here at the hospital?"
