I hated seeing the blood and swelling on her beautiful face.
“He said someone on my task force sold me out.”
Now my fury turned cold. “All right, we’ll sort that out later. Just relax now. We need to get you checked out.”
“Kavner.” Max reappeared. “The ambulance is here.”
I nodded. “We need to get you to the hospital.”
“No—”
“Yes, London. I know you don’t like them, but you’re hurt. They need to check for internal bleeding—” I dragged in a deep breath.
She bit her lip. “You’ll stay with me?”
“For every second.”
She nodded, and I lifted her into my arms. My employees were watching me carry her out. There’d be talk, but I didn’t give a shit.
I stepped outside my building and saw the paramedics pulling a gurney out of their rig.
“Kavner.” She gripped my shoulders.
“I’m not leaving you. I promise.”
I sat in an uncomfortable chair beside the hospital bed. London was asleep.
The doctors had assessed her, cleaned her up, and iced her face. We were just waiting for scan results to check for a concussion. Thankfully, she didn’t have any internal bleeding.
But I’d caught a glimpse of the bruises on her stomach. My hands dug into my thighs. The asshole had beaten her badly.
He was a dead man walking.
She stirred.
“Hey.” I reached over and took her hand.
Her eyes fluttered open. Her mouth tightened. “I want to get out of here.”
She’d said that a lot.
“Once we have your scan results.”
“I’m fine.”
“Since I don’t see doctor in your title, that’s not your decision.”
She got a stubborn look on her face, but my gaze was too busy taking in the scrapes, swelling, and bruises. I hated seeing them. I smoothed back her hair, and her eyes closed for a second.
“Kav, please get me out of here,” she whispered.
My damn heart squeezed. “I will, my darling agent. I promise. Once the doctor gives you the okay.”
She released a massive sigh.
“Rest now.” I kissed the top of her head.
Thankfully, she dozed off again. I kept holding her hand, stroking her wrist. Reassuring myself with the steady beat of her pulse. But something dark twisted inside me.
