Rejected and Pregnant: Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince-Chapter 221: Dig into that matter

Everyone had gathered outside the VIP hospital room, anxiety thick in the air. Inside, a team of doctors and elite healers were examining Gabriel.

Amelie stood closest to the door, her eyes fixed on it with desperate intensity, her body practically trembling. She looked as though she might burst through at any second.

"You should sit down," Katelyn said gently, holding her arm in support.

"No, I’m fine," Amelie murmured.

"You’ll only wear yourself out standing like this," Mabel said, turning toward her. Her expression was calm but firm. "Gabriel will wake up soon. There’s no need to worry."

Amelie, sensing the subtle command in Mabel’s tone, finally nodded and took a seat nearby, though her gaze never left the door.

"What could have gone wrong?" Raidan muttered under his breath. "They removed the toxins from his body yesterday."

Before anyone could respond, the door finally opened. Two doctors stepped out, followed by the healers—Jace and Niamh.

Amelie was quick to arise from her seat and stepped up. "How is Prince Gabriel?" she asked promptly.

"The toxins had remained in his system in trace amounts," Jace explained solemnly. "They were too minute to be detected in standard tests."

Niamh stepped forward next. "Your Majesty, we’ve now purged them completely from Prince Gabriel’s body. He’s out of danger."

Mabel’s eyes narrowed. "Yesterday, we were told he was perfectly fine," she said sharply, her voice laced with fury. "And now this? How can we trust that something like this won’t happen again?"

The hospital director and several staff members lowered their heads, too ashamed to meet her gaze.

"Your Majesty," Jace continued, "Prince Gabriel needs complete rest. He must not exert himself or move around for at least the next two days. Niamh and I will personally check on him every three hours to ensure there are no complications."

Mabel’s lips remained pressed in a thin line, but she gave a curt nod.

"Can we see Gabriel now?" Raidan asked.

"Of course, Your Majesty," Jace replied with a respectful nod.

The door was held open, and the entire family quietly stepped inside the room.

Gabriel sat half-upright on the reclining hospital bed, his head turning slightly as they entered. His eyes immediately found Amelie.

Without hesitation, Amelie rushed to his side and climbed onto the edge of the bed. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, burying her face into his shoulder. For a moment, she forgot the presence of the Alpha King and Queen, forgot everything except the overwhelming relief of seeing him awake.

Gabriel’s arms came around her, his hand gently resting on her back as he held her in return.

After a few seconds, Amelie slowly pulled away, eyes glistening with tears. Though her heart filled with words, the presence of the King and Queen silenced her lips. She glanced at them, then rose to her feet, standing to the side.

"What were you thinking, stepping out of the palace at night?" Mabel scolded. "Your body was still recovering, Gabriel. You knew that. And yet you went out alone, in the middle of the night."

Amelie opened her mouth to speak, to explain that she had asked Gabriel to check on his brother, but he didn’t let her.

"I didn’t know the toxins were still in my system," Gabriel replied. "I felt completely fine. Besides, there’s no need for Mother to concern herself over me," he added in a cold and indifferent tone.

Mabel’s brows furrowed, but she said nothing further.

Amelie glanced between Gabriel and the Queen, a knot forming in her chest.

"Gabriel, we are your parents. We will be worried for you no matter what. You are supposed to rest for whole two days. You can’t step out of the palace anymore in these two days," Raidan strictly instructed him.

Gabriel didn’t respond right away. His gaze shifted to the healers standing nearby.

"Can I go home?" he asked. "Hospitals... they make me uncomfortable."

Jace exchanged a glance with Niamh before replying. "You may return to the palace, Your Highness. However, Niamh and I will accompany you. We’ll need to monitor your vitals every three hours."

Gabriel gave a small nod, but his eyes soon moved to Amelie, she looked paler than usual, exhausted. She needed rest far more than he did.

"I’ll stay here," Gabriel decided.

Everyone turned to him, surprised.

"You just said—" Raidan began, but Casaio stepped forward.

"Nick and I will stay with him, Dad," Casaio assured their parents, placing a hand on Gabriel’s shoulder. "He won’t be alone."

Then, turning to Amelie, he added, "Kate, please stay close to Amelie tonight."

"I will," Katelyn responded gently. She then turned to Amelie and touched her arm. "Let’s go back to the palace. You need rest too."

Amelie hesitated, her eyes locked on Gabriel’s. But seeing his smile and nod, she finally agreed and allowed Katelyn to lead her out.

Raidan and Mabel followed them out too. As they settled inside the car, the driver drove it back to the palace.

Meanwhile, in the wardroom, Gabriel adjusted his position slightly on the bed and looked at his brothers. "Did you two find out anything more about him?" he asked.

Casaio exhaled. "Just rest, Gabriel. This isn’t the time to dig into that matter."

"I am resting," Gabriel replied, clearly unconvinced. "And answering my question won’t worsen my condition. It might even help me relax."

Nick chuckled faintly at that while Casaio gave in with a reluctant nod.

"His name is Luke Hunter, or at least, that’s the name he gave at the hotel."

"But we aren’t convinced it’s his real name," Casaio added.

Gabriel’s eyes narrowed slightly as he processed the information. freewebnøvel_com

"Also, you were right. He can teleport like us," said Dominick with a worried gaze. "Another footage was captured in which Luke was seen vanishing in the thin air."

"So, we shouldn’t take our opponent lightly," Gabriel stated.

"Yes. I rechecked the CCTVs of the supermarket from where Zilia shopped. Luke does want something from her. As far as I know, he wants to end her," Casaio said with a frown.

"And you’ll protect her, won’t you?" Gabriel questioned.

"I hate to admit this, but yes," Casaio answered.
