Treyton had never driven so fast in his life; Maeve's cries echoed in his car as Laoise was still unconscious in the back of his car. Patrisha sat in front, trying to calm Maeve down while trying to remain calm. "Does Laoise have a certain hospital that she goes to!?"
"She goes to Kraiser Hospital! Please hurry Treyton!"
Patrisha gave Treyton the directions and, after driving past many red lights, got to Kraiser Hospital. He immediately parked in the nearest parking lot, where he carried Laoiseinto the emergency room. There was a long line, but the group cut in line. The security guard got in front of them, telling them to go to the back of the line.
"S-Sir, my Mother has fainted and she's not waking up! Please, she has to see a doctor!"
The security guard was about to argue, but Treyton stepped forward, and his eyes widened. "Don't make a scene, boy. I can easily gather your information and bring a lawsuit against you. If something happens to my...girlfriend's Mother, I will sue you for endangering a person. No matter what lawyer you have, I can afford something better."
The security guard was about to talk back, but he noticed Treyton's eyes change; his eyes frightened him. The group was let inside. Once inside, they went to the front desk, where the nurses saw Laoise unconscious. They were instructed to go to one of the rooms where Laoise was put on a bed. "Okay, you all need to go to the waiting, and we will come by and inform you all of our findings."
"How long will it take?" asked Maeve as she tried to refrain from crying.
"We don't know. If she had insurance through us, it might take less than an hour. If she doesn't it can take hours."
Treyton wrapped his arms around his mate; it hurt his heart that Maeve was hurting for her Mother. He motioned her out of the room as the door was closed behind them. Patrisha walked beside them and couldn't help but notice how supportive Treyton was. "I think Maeve will be alright." However, she was still worried for Laoise and hoped whatever caused her to faint wasn't too serious. "Hey you guys, I will bring us something to drink. Maeve, you will need to drink something to soothe your nerves. Would you like some tea?"
Maeve didn't have the energy to drink or eat anything, but knowing Patrisha, her friend, wouldn't let it go. "Th-That would be fine."
Patrisha nodded and went on her way while the couple walked back to the waiting room. More people were entering the emergency room but were fortunate to find some seats on the back. Maeve was motioned to sit, and as Treyton was about to do the same thing, his phone rang; it was Aidoneus. "Maeve, my son is calling me. I'll be back." The Alpha walked away as he answered.
"Hey Pops! Sorry for calling you early! I don't know if you're home or not, but I was wondering how it went with your mate. Also, my plan worked and-!"
"Son." Aidoneus was silent on the other end as he noted his Father's tone. SometFather's wrong. "Maeve and I are at the hospital."
"What!? Are you and Maeve okay!?"
Treyton glanced at Maeve, who sat silently on the floor. "Don't worry, son. Maeve and I aren't hurt. When I took Maeve back home, she invited me in. However her friend and Mother were there, but then her Mother fainted. She's getting checked."
"I see; which hospital are you both at?" Treyton was about to refute his son, but Aidoneus knew what his Father was about to FatherPops, please tell me. It would be an excellent opportunity for me to get to know her. I know it's not the greatest place, but Maeve will need support."
Treyton was proud of his son; he was taking the initiative to get to know Maeve. He eventually told his son the hospital address, and both hung up. Once done with the call. Treyton went back to Maeve and sat beside her. Patrisha eventually arrived with the drinks on hand. She gave the couple their cups while she kept one for herself. Maeve took sips of the tea but put the cup on the floor beside her. "How are you holding up, Maeve?"
"I'm trying to hang in there, Trish. I'm worried about my Mom."
"I know, hun. Just have faith that everything will turn out to be okay."
The trio sat together and waited. Forty-five minutes later, Treyton noticed his son but wasn't alone. "Is that his mate?" The Alpha stood up from his seat. "Son, you arrived."
"Hey Pops." Father and son hugged and then separated. "Sorry I was late, but I thought it would be best that I bring my mate, Persefone." Persefone was silent since she was still processing everything that was happening. She was shocked that Laoise was in the hospital. The young woman became worried for Maeve. Not only that, but the man before her was Aidoneus's Father. Persefone never imagined meeting her mate's Father so soon, but there was no other choice since Maeve was in a dire situation regarding her Mother.
WheFathering at Treyton, Persefone was amazed at how handsome the older man was. "H-Hello, sir."
"Hello there, Persefone. I know it is too soon for us to meet, but I'm glad you came for Maeve." Treyton motioned out his hand, which Persefone held; they shook hands. Then, Aidoneus and Persefone were motioned to Maeve where was. "Maeve, Persefone, and my son are here."
Maeve slowly looked up and saw the couple; she slowly stood up. Persefone immediately went to Maeve and hugged her. Maeve did the same; the friends separated. "I didn't expect for you to come by."
"I was brought here by Aidoneus, who told me everything." Persefone motioned her hand to Aidoneus, who stood by his Father; Maeve's eyes widened when she saw the young man. It amazed her how much Aidoneus looked like Treyton.
Aidoneus stood motionless as he focused on Maeve. "She is beautiful," he thought. The werewolf went forward and motioned out his right hand. "Hello Maeve, I'm Aidoneus. I'm sorry we had to meet this way."
"It's nice to meet you too, Aidoneus. Your Father told me so much about you." Maeve took his hand and shook it. "I-I appreciate you coming here. You shouldn't have. I-" Tears slowly formed in Maeve's eyes; she let go of his hand. Worry overwhelmed the young woman, and she felt she would break down.
Aidoneus noticed, and he gently motioned her back to the chair. "It's no trouble at all. We were going to have to meet anyway. Besides, I was always curious meeting my Father's mate."
Treyton cleared his throat as he nudged his son. He got close to his son's ear. "Maeve's other friend is here; she doesn't know that we're werewolves. Careful what you say."
The young man nodded as he noticed Patrisha looking confused but didn't say anything.
"Family of Laoise Connor?" announced a nurse.
Maeve immediately stood up while trembling. She went to the nurse who stood by the door to the emergency room. "Y-Yes, I am her daughter."
"Alright, the doctor is in your Mother's room. He wishes to speak with you."
"May I come along?" asked Treyton as he approached Maeve.
The nurse was about to interject, but Maeve said, "Please, he is my boyfriend. I would be comfortable with him by my side."
"Alright, just you two. Please follow me." The duo followed the nurse to the hallways, where they passed many rooms full of ill and injured people—seeing them made Maeve nervous. Treyton gently wrapped an arm around her, trying to comfort her. His touch made Maeve calm down, but the anxiety lingered; she had to know what her Mother had.
They eventually arrived at the place where her Mother was being kept. Laoise was in bed, connected to IV administration sets. It hurt Maeve to see her Mother in such a condition. The doctor stood before Laoise's bed, reading some documents. "Doctor, I brought the patient's family."
The doctor looked up. "Thank you, you two. Please enter." Maeve and Treyton did what they were told. Treyton, however, smelled the potent scent from Laoise again, which almost gave him a headache.
"S-So, did you find out what my Mother has, doctor?"
"Yes, her condition was already on file. I assume, your Mother never told you of her condition."
Maeve shook her head. "What is it? Please tell me."
The doctor's expression was nonchalant, but there was a slight hesitation. "I'm so sorry that I have to tell you this, but your Mother has stage four breast cancer."
