My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 148 – Connie’s accident

Lila's POV

I didn't like Connie, but I never wanted something terrible to happen to her. Not like this.

There was a void in Enzo’s eyes, and I knew something was seriously wrong; he had just gotten terrible news and my heart ached for him. I stared at him for a moment, wondering what could be wrong.

Connie was missing; I wanted to go and find her, but he told me that his Beta was dealing with it. I hated that. Why wouldn't he let me go out and look for her myself?

I was infuriated that he was trying to protect me from all things danger.

“Enzo...? I asked once it was clear he wasn't going to say anything.

He finally looked at me, meeting my eyes.

“Connie is in the hospital.”

"What?" I gasped. "Why? What happened.”

“She got into an accident.”

"Oh, my goddess. We have to go to her,” I said, rushing toward the door.

Enzo followed closely behind me, not even daring to argue.

It didn't take us long to get to the hospital. We took the rental car except I was the one who drove. Enzo was in no shape to drive at this moment.

Once we were at the hospital, Enzo finally snapped back into reality and rushed toward the first doctor he saw.

“I would like that. Thank you so much.”

“Of course.”

We hugged out in her hospital room for a little while longer before heard Connie's stomach growling. Come to think of it, I was quite hungry as well.

“Is there anything to eat?” I asked Enzo who was working on some business objectives via his phone in the chair across the phone.

He looked at the clock across the hallway.

"We can check out the cafeteria,” he suggested. “Or did you want to go out to eat?”

I think going out to eat would be a little weird, but I don't say that to him. Before I could answer, Connie spoke first.

“I'm starving. Maybe we can go to the cafeteria?” She suggests. “I can walk just fine. A little sore, but I can make it to the cafeteria.”

“I can bring food back to you,” Enzo offered as he stood at his feet.

She shook her head quickly.

“I need to stretch my legs. I think it would be good if I went with you.”

Enzo looked uncertain, but he didn't argue.

He nodded and we helped her out of bed before the three of us left the room to head to the cafeteria.

“They have pretty good food,” Connie shrugged. “It's not elegant stuff, but it'll do for tonight.” “I'm sure it tastes fine,” I said with a shrug of my own. “Once you are out of the hospital, you can get something better for food.”

“That sounds amazing,” she breathed.

We continued walking until we reached the stairway. Then, we had to help Connie take the stairs. She suggested the stairs because they'll aid in her physical therapy. Once we were downstairs, I could already smell the food from the cafeteria.

Either it smelled majorly delicious, or I was just really hungry.

We didn't get far to the cafeteria when Connie froze completely. She looked like she had seen a ghost and her entire body trembled for a moment until she cowered away.

"What's wrong?” Enzo finally asked, trying to figure out what was go her so distraught.

She could hardly speak; her eyes were locked on someone across the hallway.

I followed her gaze to see a cute-looking guy standing in the distance, also looking at her with a look I didn't quite understand. But I did know that he was incredibly handsome. He wore scrubs indicating that he was either a doctor or a nurse at the hospital.

He was breathing heavily as he stared at Connie; neither of them saying anything for a long while. I finally pulled my eyes away from him long enough to look at Connie.

"What is it?” I finally asked, eyeing her carefully.

“That man...” she finally said after a long pause. “He's my mate.”
