"Who did this?" was the first thing that came to my mind, running my eyes over his wounded face.
"Eve, please, just forget it."
"What takes so long for a damn blood test to come back?" Nick said quietly and then stood up to scout around.
"You shouldn't even be here," Lilly said bitterly.
It was like the more she saw him, the more she hated him. The look she’d revealed seconds earlier, seeing his face so busted up had disappeared.
Nick looked at her, trying to hide the wound she'd just created with her words.
"Lilly," I urged for her not to start here.
"No. It's preciselythisthat the nurse said you need to get away from. This stress, it's making you ill."
"We don't know that—"
"They waltz in here battered up like a damn wounded army and god knows where they've been.You don't need this." Lilly pointed and waved her hands a lot to get her point across.
"Do you know she's been bleeding?" she then asked, directly to Kit.
"Lilly, please!"
She'd spoken quietly and directed her question fully at Kit. I still didn't want her to discuss this here, and I could see she was only getting more and more riled.
"No, Eves," she started to well up.
"I love you, and I'll fucking die before I let you cave in because of this bullshit. You have to think about the baby. They're supposed to be protecting you—shit job at that!"
We all stared in awe at her as she took a deep breath.
"I'm gonna leave… I'll be outside getting some fresh air. Get someone to text me when they have your results."
I nodded and tried to hold back the tears as Lilly left the waiting room.
Jason let out a breath. "She's a fucking ankle biter," he said and Nick nodded in agreement whilst staring at the door that she'd just left through, before following after her.
"We'll leave you alone," Eric said then.
"Yeah," Jax nodded, "we'll be in the canteen."
I nodded and watched as Jason, Jax and Eric left me alone with Kit.
"You have to tell me something. Where did you go?"
"Eves, forget about it right now, what matters is—"
"Eve, Hunny." Leanne, the nurse called for me and I got up and headed with her, not checking if Kit was following or not.
"Is this—"
"I'm Eve’s partner," Kit said, offering her his hand.
Shaking it, Leanne stared at his battered face.
"Do you need a nurse to see to your face?"
"No, thanks... I'm a boxer, I get worse than this all the time. I really just want to know what's going on."
