The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 233

Chapter 0233 I dont know if Im serious about anything , he blurted , and I could see the panic in his eyes .

I havent even thought about this long enough to know what I actually want .

I never thought Id find my mate , Judy .

I never thought I even wanted a mate in the first place .

Wait … what ? I asked , my eyes narrowed .

Are you thinking about rejecting her ? He bit his lip , refusing to meet my eyes .

That was all the answer I needed ; my heart hurts for Nan .

Well then if you have to reject her , then I would do it sooner than later , I told him , almost bitterly .

I wasnt hungry anymore , so I pushed my plate away and stood to my feet .

Put the poor girl out of her misery .

Without another word , I left the kitchen , leaving him alone with these thoughts .

Gavins POV So , I know that Irene is claiming her leg hurts… but Ive done 3 different X rays , Alpha and theres nothing physically wrong with her , Elizabeth Pierce said .

I sighed and leaned against the wall ; we stood in the hallway , and we had been in the hospital since yesterday .

Irene kept crying that her leg hurt and wouldnt let me leave .

I ran my fingers through my hair , feeling exhausted .

I hadnt been able to sleep ; I tried to get a few hours in the Hospital chair , but I was uncomfortable , and Irene was whimpering for most of the night .

I asked Elizbeth to do numerous tests to find out what was wrong with her leg , but shes been coming up blank .

I trusted her judgment because she was the best doctor in the world after all .

I nodded Thank you , I told her .

So , I can take her home ? Elizabeth nodded .

Yes , she replied .

Im sure she could use some rest and her own bed .

Ill prescribe some sugar pills … we can tell her its pain medication .

It seems her pain is strictly mental and doesnt actually exist .

If she thinks shes taking medication to help with her pain , then her pain will go away .

I nodded .

I appreciate that , I told her .

Ill get that right away , she said as she retreated from the area .

With a sigh , I walked back into the hospital room .

Irene was scrolling through her phone , her brows pinched together .

Everything okay ? I asked .

She froze when she saw me walking into the room ; she put her phone on the bed beside her and grabbed at her leg , tears filling her eyes .

Yes … my leg , just hurt , and Ethan hadnt come to see me once , she whimpered .

I sighed again and sat at the edge of her bed , taking her hands in mine .
