I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It

Chapter 228

Lila’s POV
“Hey, Lila Bean. How are you feeling?”
“Dad!” I said happily as my father walked into the hospital room. I wasn’t expecting him to be here, but I
was so glad he was.
He came over to my bedside and wrapped his arms around me, holding me in a tight embrace.
“I’m okay. Still feel a little weak from the wolfsbane and my wolf is still sleeping. But I feel her there, so
she’s not completely gone,” I told him. “I’m hoping she will wake with due time like Dr. Ryan said.”
“I’m glad to hear that. Why didn’t you tell us you were having issues with your professor?” My father
asked, sitting down beside me.
I could see the concern in his eyes, and it tugged at my heart.
“I wanted to handle things on my own. I didn’t want to worry anyone. But how did you know I was
having issues before tonight?”
He sighed and took my hands in his.
“Enzo told me about the wolfbane they found in your mix,” my father went on to explain. “Dr. Ryan
finished telling me that you had some pretty bad and old bruises all over your body that haven’t healed
yet because of the wolfbane. It’s to be assumed that this has been an ongoing issue.”
My father knew me so well and I felt tears prickling at the corner of my eyes.
“I just didn’t want to worry anyone,” I said again in a much softer tone. “I’m sorry for not telling you
sooner.”
“You could have been seriously hurt if Enzo hadn’t found you when he did. Things could have gotten
worse,” he said, keeping his tone calm.
“I’m sorry,” I said to him, burying my face in the side of his body and feeling the warmth of my father
blanketing around me. I didn’t realize I was cold until this moment; until I felt his warmth soothing me
and my entire body stopped trembling and calmed.

“I know you are,” he said, holding me tightly. “I’m just glad you are safe now. I just got word from Enzo
that he has Xander in custody and is heading back here soon.”
“What’s going to happen to him?” I found myself asking, peering up at my father’s stern face.
“We are going to question him and find out who he’s working for. It’s clear he’s after you because
you’re a Volana, but the game he’s been playing with you seems strange. There has to be a reason
behind it.”
“And if he doesn’t tell you anything?” I asked, worry evident in my voice.

My father sighed and tried to give me a reassuring smile.
“That’s not an option,” he told me. “We are just going to take it one step at a time for right now.”
I nodded, burying my face back in the side of his body.
“How’s mom doing?” I asked, remembering that she was last seen in Enzo’s mother’s village and
keeping them protected while Hazel recovered here in the hospital. As far as I knew, Hazel was still in
the hospital.
“She’s still helping Diana and the others fix and protect the village,” he said, a worried look in his eyes.
“And are you okay?” I asked, a frown decorating my lips.
He sighed but he nodded.
“I just miss her; I don’t like being away from her for this long, but I have my duties to take care of and I
won’t be much help to them,” he answered, shaking his head sadly.
“Once Hazel is healed, she will be able to return to the village and then mom can return home to you,” I
assured him, putting my hand on top of his and giving him a reassuring smile.
He returned the smile and then nodded.
“I’m going to check on Hazel later to see how she’s doing,” my dad said. “I’m going to be sticking
around this pack for a bit because I’d like to question Xander for myself.”
“How long is a bit?’” I asked, raising my brows.
“I’m not sure yet. As long as it takes to get the answers we need,” he explained. “Aiden is in charge of
the Nova pack during my absence, but Enzo told me I can stay in one of the guest rooms.”
Before I could say anything more, the door of the room opened, and Dr. Ryan entered. He paused when
he saw my father but then he smiled and bowed his head in respect.
“Hello, Alpha,” Dr. Ryan said politely. “I’m sorry to interrupt. I was just coming here to say that the
wolfbane seems it be making its way out of Lila’s body on its own and no further measurements will be
needed, thankfully.”
“That’s great news,” my father said with a large smile. “Will she be able to return home soon?”
“Yes, that’s also what I was coming here to say. I was going to suggest to her waiting for Alpha Enzo’s
return, but seeming you are you, I supposed you can take her home,” Dr. Ryan said.
My father nodded.
“Absolutely,” he said. “Thank you, doctor.”
Dr. Ryan nodded and then turned his attention to me.
“Drink plenty of water and get some rest,” he ordered me.
I nodded.
“Thank you,” I said to him.
Once he was gone, my father grabbed the clothes the nurses had washed for me and brought them to
me. I was currently wearing a hospital gown that I couldn’t wait to get out of.
“Are you going to see Hazel before we leave?” I asked him.
He nodded.
“Yes,” he answered out loud. “I think it’s the right thing to do.”
“I agree,” I said in return. “I’d like to see her as well.”
My father turned away so I could finish getting dressed and once I was done, I wobbly stood to my feet.
Thankfully, he was there to catch me as I tipped over. I was much weaker than I thought I was.
“Hold on,” my father said, helping me sit down in one of the chairs and as he left the room for only a
moment. He returned with a wheelchair.
“Dad…” I complained.
“Just until we get to my car,” he said, giving me a stern and fatherly look.
I stifled a groan and allowed him to help me into the chair. Once I was seated, he wheeled me into the
hallway and toward Hazel’s room.
She was only a few doors away and when we got to her door, my father knocked until he heard her
faint voice permitting him to enter.
Hazel sat up in her bed, staring at the doorway as entered with a polite and yet worried smile on her
face.
I was astonished by the bruising on her face and the paleness of her features, but I wasn’t going to say
anything about it.
“I can see from your aura that you are a powerful Alpha,” Hazel said, looking up at my father through
her swollen eyes.
“I am Alpha Bastien,” he said, bowing his head politely to her. “I’m sorry I haven’t come to see you
sooner.”
