The Abused Luna's Comeback-Chapter 169 - The Pack Doctor Who Came from Afar

Five days later.

[Rose’s P.O.V.]

When Edward told me that he would leave for the pack soon but did not give me a specific time when he would come back, I was very sad. I was hoping he would be able to stay here with me until I gave birth to our child.

“Babe, you know that I want to be with you more than anyone. I promise I’ll be back soon. I will be there with you when you give birth.”

There was nothing I could say to change his mind and I felt helpless. I was reluctant to part with him, but I knew he was the Alpha of the largest wolf pack in America. I might be the most important person to him, but I wasn’t the only one in his life. He had his family, friends, and the rest of the entire pack.

Before Edward left, I had asked Alonso to get me a local cell phone so that I could get in touch with Edward more easily. Edward didn’t like that idea, though, believing that cell phones emitted radioactive waves that were dangerous for pregnant women and children.

Still, I was glad I got the phone because after Edward left, he would still take the time to text or call me no matter how busy he was. Unfortunately, we could never chat for too long because the little wolf in my belly would kick and thrash, probably excited at the presence – though virtual – of the father.

This evening, Alonso cooked dinner. He had quit his job at the restaurant, claiming the need for him to be around and on standby in case the baby was due before Edward got back. I was touched, but I also found it funny because, despite his Nobel Prize nomination, he wouldn’t be able to pick up a scalpel to save my life if I do go into labor.

When dinner was about to end, the doorbell rang and it almost made me jump out of my chair.

I quickly ran to open the door despite my big belly, but I quickly realized that the person on the other side of the door was not Edward because I did not feel any of the familiar sparks or feelings our bond usually created whenever we were near each other.

“Who is it?” asked I through the door.

“It’s me, Dr. Baldwin.”

I quickly opened the door and found Dr. Baldwin standing in front of me with a box in his hand.

I couldn’t believe my eyes. This was the first time I have seen someone from the pack other than Alpha after I had left. I had mixed feelings about this.

“Luna?”

Dr. Baldwin called out curiously. Only then did I remember that Susanna had re-disguised me after Edward had left. I no longer looked like Rose for the time being.

“Dr. Baldwin, I’m sorry for this appearance. Please come in. Have you had dinner? Did Edward ask you to come?”

“Yes, Luna. I’m very happy to see you again. I had dinner on the plane. Alpha sent me to see you and your child.” After knowing that I was Rose, the fifty-year-old man slightly bowed to me in respect.

“Dr. Baldwin, I’m also very happy to see you. I’m sorry for having to make you come all the way here.”

“Luna, you don’t have to say that at all. It’s my honor. You’re carrying the future Alpha of our pack in your belly. It’s my duty to take care of you and your child.”

“But if you’re here, what about the medical situation at the pack?”

“There are interns and nurses there. You don’t have to worry at all. Furthermore, my duty here is highly confidential. Alpha has already arranged everything. All you need to do now is to stay healthy and wait for the arrival of your due date in peace, Ms. Mona.”

He knew my alias. Edward must have briefed him beforehand. I smiled and shook my head helplessly.

I led him to the living room. Then, Susanna removed our disguises and Dr. Baldwin gave Alonso and Susanna a hug each. He had always been a kind and good person. No one could dislike him. Moreover, Alonso and Susanna had stayed in Sunset Pack for quite a long time. They must have established quite a friendship among them during their time together at the pack.

“Luna, is it convenient for you to let me see your little wolf now?”

“Of course, Dr. Baldwin.”

Dr. Baldwin and I went into my room. I lay down on the bed and he began to unpack the equipment that he had brought with him.

I was a little nervous because I knew that my little wolf was growing very fast. I didn’t know if his or her spine had gone through any further changes. I simply hoped that Dr. Baldwin wouldn’t tell me any more bad news.𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂
