Chapter 48 

Zenovia 

The doctor threw me a wary look and then shot a hesitant look at Callahan. 

He only shrugged, “Well then leave some pain meds for her. If she feels like it, she will have them.” Saying so, he walked out of the room without another word. Meanwhile, Elijah came to sit beside me. “You are going to be fine, you are strong.” 

I nodded my head and he squeezed my hand before muttering, “I will come check on you shortly” 

Matteo gave me a nod and left while dragging Drusilla along with himself. 

The other servants left too leaving just Maria with me. 

“Would you like to eat something?” She asked but I shook my head. 

“No, I would like to rest a little.” Maria cupped my face and replied, “Sure, if you need anything just ring the bell” 

After she walked out, I let out a sigh and decided to calm down. The pain in my body was not that much or maybe my body had developed a certain tolerance after going through so much pain. 

And now that I was alone, my mind kept replaying the whole day of the time spent with Callahan and how he was behaving, 

with me. 

But despite his frustrating behavior, I realized that my wolf was trying to contact me, to help me heal. 

That meant she had not completely abandoned me. 

I just did not know how to reach out to her. I was willing to endure the pain if I would get to meet her. I could not stand being weak and helpless anymore. 

“Please, if you are listening to me…know that I want to meet you as much as you are trying. I promise I will get strong” 

I said to myself and closed my eyes. The silence in the room was deafening and it was unlike the influx of all the smallest noises bombarding my brain 

I wanted to sleep but it was evading me. Not knowing what to do, I picked up my phone and was surprised to see a message waiting for me. 

It was from an unknown number. 

I opened it and checked the text that said- Hey, Ham Harry. Did you reach home safely? 

I immediately replied, Yes, I did. 

The message was sent a few hours ago and I kept staring at the screen hoping to receive a reply. 

When it was close to half an hour that I still did not receive a message. I gave up and put the phone to the side, 

But then I heard a beep. Curious, I quickly pulled it near me and saw another text message. 

Take 

your medicines. 

That’s it. There was no name, no introduction, nothing else. 

Only one person would be so gruff to me. 

I typed ‘Fuck off and make me run for 

I wanted to hit enter but decided against it. If he came thundering inside this room, he could very well life and I was not even in the condition to walk, let alone run to save myself. 

I stared at that stupid message for a while, wondering what to reply. And then I simply decided to not send any at all. He was just being courteous, nothing more. 

At least that is what I told myself. There was another beep and 1 opened my inbox. It was from Harry. 

That is great to hear. So, do you want to meet again? 

I did not take even a second to reply and typed Yes and hit the send button. 

Harry’s reply was instant this time. 

Great. Meet me in an hour at Jack’s Bar. Use the money to hire a cab and get there. It is a famous place. 

I looked at my leg. It was still hurting and I wondered if I could run away without limping or screaming. 

I prayed that my wolf would stop trying to mend me. Now was my chance to run away. I recalled that Cynthia and Callahan were probably going out somewhere tonight. 

He was going to be busy. 

So, I might as well run away. With that thought in mind, I got up and slowly went towards the bathroom, limping towards it. 

The pain had stopped considerably but I did not want to risk it so I took the painkillers just enough to not make me feel drowsy. 

Then I showered and put on loose jeans and a hoodie so that it would give me comfort to run or walk. The painkillers took their effect and my leg did not hurt a lot while moving and I was not limping anymore. 

Maybe the doctor had given me a small but strong dosage. 

While I was getting ready, I received another message. 

Wear something nice for the bar so that you blend in. 

It was Harry’s message. I frowned after reading it. I did not really like wearing sexy or revealing but then I would stick out like a sore thumb if I went to the bar wearing a hoodie and blue jeans. 

I stared at the wardrobe and rummaged through it, wondering what to wear. 

After a few minutes, I found the perfect dress a knee-length A-line silhouette in a beautiful black colored satin fabric. It had a modest boat neckline that showed a hint of my collarbones without being too revealing. The sleeves were three-quarter length, adding an elegant touch to the overall look. 

The black would allow me to blend in the night and not get noticed if I slipped through the shadows. It was definitely not because I had seen Callahan and Cynthia’s exchange where they decided to wear black. 

I decided to cinch the waist gently with a slim black belt, accentuating my figure without going for an overly sensual look. The flowy skirt of the dress allowed for comfortable movement and did not make me look like I wanted to attract attention. 

For jewelry, I chose a pair of small pearl stud earrings that added a touch of elegance to my appearance. 

As for shoes, I slipped on classic black pumps with no heel so that they would allow me to move effortlessly. 

There was an entire section of handbags, purses, and clutches all around and stuffed with things of all possible colors. It made me dizzy just by looking at it so I was glad the dress came with a nice small pocket that I could use to store my phone and the cash. 

For my makeup, I went for a natural and radiant look. I opted for a soft smoky eye with neutral shades, a touch of rosy blush on my checks, and a subtle lip color that enhanced my lips without being too bold. I left my hair open and decided to take a peek outside. The coast was clear and most of the servants had gone to sleep. 

Since Callahan was not home, the rest of the people had decided to go to bed early it seemed. 

“Good for me” I thought and slowly walked out of the mansion, tiptoeing my way through the huge front yard and sprinting out of the gate before the guards would notice me. 

I had to walk a few minutes before I spotted a cab and as Harry had instructed informed the driver of the venue. 

He did not ask further questions which meant that it was indeed a famous place. 

My heart was hammering at the confusing thoughts swirling through my head wondering how to thank Harry for his generosity. 

I took my phone out of my pocket and sent him a message. 

On the way to Jack’s bar. 

His reply was instant. 

Great. Can’t wait to meet you.
