Sold To The Alphas I Hate novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197: In The Hospital

Kael’s POV

I turned to him, wanting to ask more questions, but seeing him so quiet and trying to hide his fear, I decided to give him time. For now, he didn’t need to be bombarded with questions he feared; he needed coaxing.

The answers—I would get them anyway.

"You don’t need to be scared of anyone now," I told him as I held his hand in mine. "You are safe with us."

I happened to look at Eira, who surprisingly looked back at me. We said no words, but it was clear enough—we were together, at least in matters related to Raven.

There was silence inside the car for the rest of the journey, all of us lost in the shocking discovery we had just made. Every so often, we glanced at Raven, who was quietly snuggling against Eira as she held him close in a protective embrace.

When we reached the hospital, before stepping out, I told Raven, "We are at the hospital to have some important check-ups done on you. But there’s nothing to be scared about."

I had to tell him, as I was sure he didn’t have a good opinion of hospitals, given how often he was taken to one in RavenClaw.

He didn’t respond, as usual, choosing to let things happen.

"And you aren’t the only patient today," I told him. "Eira and Rafe, they are going to have some tests done as well. Just good ones to check if they are healthy and same ones for you."

Eira and Rafe looked at me, their gazes not so pleased. I looked back at them. "I’m sure you two don’t have an issue accompanying our little guy."

The two stayed quiet, thinking I was just making it up for Raven’s sake. But I wasn’t lying.

Not just one, but I had three kids to take care of today.

I opened the door and stepped out. "Come with me," I told Raven.

The little guy, his face down, moved toward me in his seat. Instead of letting him walk, I lifted him in my arms like any father carries their child. In response, he turned his head to my shoulder and rested on it as if trying to hide, his hand circling my neck to hold on to me.

For the first time, I could feel the fear in him since the moment he came to us. Those bastards truly did cruel things to him.

I caressed his back gently. "Raven, daddy’s with you. I won’t let anyone hurt you."

The boy continued to cling to me. It showed his trust in me.

Others had stepped out of the car as well. They silently followed me, Eira by my side. Clearly, it was because she wanted to be close to Raven.

The part of the hospital where we were heading today was booked only for us, and we entered through the VIP entry reserved for the Alpha and his family.

Liam and his assistants were already present. We headed inside his office, Raven still clinging to me.

"Raven," I called him. "This is my friend, Dr. Liam."

He slowly turned his head to look at him, with a wary gaze, his head still resting against my shoulder, his hands refusing to let me go.

Liam offered him a gentle smile. "Hey Raven, I was waiting to meet you after Alpha Kael told me about a sweet little guy."

Raven didn’t respond. Liam’s doctor’s white coat must have been enough to scare him.

"He doesn’t like doctors much," I told Liam, and I had already informed him about how Raven doesn’t talk.
