Chapter 145: Chapter 146

Chapter 0146 Chapter 0146 Ella POV I arrived at the doctor’s office in the capital early Monday morning, feeling far more nervous than I should have. It was just a physical–simple, routine. But the fact that I was meeting with one of Alexander’s doctors to double- check my own physician’s work made the whole experience feel unsettling I didn’t really expect her to find anything. Yet if Dr. Bowman, my doctor since birth, had betrayed me, I wasn’t sure how I’d react. I couldn’t imagine him intentionally harning me.

I was still a few steps from the reception desk when a side coor opened abruptly, and a firm female voice called out, “Ella Rowan. The doctor will see you now.”

I walked toward the door, offering a tentative smile at the nurse, who was still focused on her clipboard. “Down this hallway, last room on the left,” she instructed, barely looking up. “The doctor will join you shortly. Please change into the gown in the room.”

I listened to her directions, thanking her as we walked “Of course,” she responded, with a polite but professional smile. “The wait won’t be long I nodded, determined to keep my stride steady until I reached the door. There, my steps faltered as nerves hit me with renewed force. Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door open and stepped inside.

The room was stark white, with medical charts on the walls and a metal–topped counter across from the examination table. A plain white hospital gown lay on the table, waiting. Quickly, I stripped off my clothes, folded them neatly, and put on the gown, tying it closed at the back.

Just as I finished, the door opened, and a woman in a long white lab coat entered. She was tall and slim, with sharp, intelligent eyes behind horn–rimmed glasses. She gave a nod of acknowledgment. “Miss Rowan. Thank you for being so prompt.”

“I don’t like to keep people waiting,” I said, feeling a bit self–conscious as I sat on the edge of the table. “And I appreciate you doing this ”

“Of course,” she replied briskly. “I’ll listen to your heart and check a few vitals, then we can discuss my recommendations.”

I perched stiffly on the table’s edge, trying to focus on her instructions as she moved around me, adjusting my arm, tilting my chin. Yet my mind kept drifting. What if she did find something wrong? What if I was sicker than I realized? What if it was already too late?

“Miss Rowan?” The doctor’s voice jolted me back. “How long has your wolf been dormant?”

I blinked, pulling myself together. “It’s been about two years,” I replied.

“That’s a substantial amount of time,” she said thoughtfully. “But not too long. I believe I agree with your doctor’s assessment–it may be possible for you to recover your wolf, as you seem to be in good health. Alpha Black tells me that you’ve eliminated the source of the poisoning that was keeping it dormant. Is that true?” “Yes, that’s true,” I replied, surprised by how much Alexander had shared with her. But I supposed it made sense; she could only help me if she understood the full extent of the situation.

She pressed a cold stethoscope to my back, taking a quiet moment to listen to my lungs before stepping back with a thoughtful expression. “Your doctor suggested occupational therapy. Is that correct?”

“That’s right,” I said. “He seemed to believe it could help.

Chapter 0146 “It can in some cases,” she agreed, “but I’d like to recor “What is it?” I asked eagerly. “I’m willing to do anything She nodded. “I suggest that you start exercising regularly I stared at her in confusion. I had been an athlete in schoo seemed odd–it wasn’t as though I needed to lose weight.

Chapter 0146 “It can in some cases,” she agreed, “but I’d like to recommend something in addition to the therapy.”

“What is it?” I asked eagerly. “I’m willing to do anything to get my wolf bank She nodded. “I suggest that you start exercising regularly.
