Always Together✔️

Chapter: 62

Making me sit in the car, Alec stands in front of me carefully holding my hand which is now covered in blood that is seeping from the gash. The sight makes me a bit woozy. While now when the adrenaline wears off, the pain and sting cause me to hold my breath.

 He loosely wraps a handkerchief around my hand, the gash burns when the cloth touches it even though he is being careful. He notices the change in my expression, he doesn't say anything he just runs his finger on the back of my hand in soothing circles like he is trying to ease the pain.

Honestly, it didn't help in minimizing the sting in my hand, however, his gesture causes me to smile a little.

"Thank you." I smile, "It's better now." I lie, but I don't care but the pain now, there is nothing that he can do for it until and unless he is a doctor which I know he is not. So, I have to bear the pain until I see a doctor.

He raises his eyes from my hand and glances at my face, then leaves my hand. Stepping back he closes the door, then after a few moments, he comes and sits on the driving seat and starts driving without saying anything.

Leaning my head against the window, I close my eyes. 

After a while, I feel someone lightly shaking my shoulder, which irritates me. Groggily, opening my eyes, it takes a moment for me to clear my mind as I woke up in my mid-sleep. Sitting up straight I find myself on the familiar leather couch which is at Alec's house.

Immediately, I look for Alec and sigh in relief when I find him standing a little away from me cautiously watching my reaction. 

"Hello, I am Dr.Green." The middle-aged man says, making me turn my attention to him, "I need to check your wound."

"You woke me up?" I can't hide the annoyance from my voice, as I hate when someone wakes me up from my sleep when I am not ready to wake up.

"Can't you see I was sleeping?" I glare at him, my eyes burning from sleep more than the gash on my hand.

"I am sorry, but I need to check your hand." He points at my hand, looking apologetic, making me feel bad for my behavior. 

Only a little bit bad.

Quietly, I bring my hand forward so that he can treat my wound. He unwraps the bloodied handkerchief and starts cleaning my wound taking out supplies from his bag.

Alec's eyes are fixed on my hand while mine on him. 

The doctor applies something which causes me to hiss in pain and as out of instinct I pull my hand back but he tightens his hold on my hand.

"Careful." Alec's stoical voice makes the doctor freeze in his spot. 

"The wound needed to be cleaned so it will hurt a little," Dr.Green says, nervously.

"Careful." Alec again repeats this word, but now it sounds more like a warning.

"I will apply some numbing gel, it will take some time after that you will not feel a thing." Dr. Green applies some gel around the area of the gash.

Okay, now I don't feel bad for my earlier behavior, as he could have applied this numbing gel before so it would have not hurt.

Again I take comfort in watching Alec as the doctor starts to put stitches. Alec clenched jaws are ticking with each tug I feel at my skin. His eyes not once waver from hand. Only when the doctor has wrapped a bandage on my hand, then he tears his gaze away.

I haven't even noticed there was another person in this room other than three of us until he leads the doctor outside the house.

Alec doesn't move from his spot neither he glances in my direction. Even the hard look doesn't leave his face, however, behind his hard look I can sense his worry.
