A Frail Omega Resurgence

Chapter 5 Chapter Five

The doctor arrived and immediately asked Derrick to leave the room. "Why? I want to be here when she is up." He said slowly.

"I know how you feel Derrick but now is not the time for that. Please let me try and see what is going on with her. I will call you once I know what happened." Doctor Jayden said with a look that meant he should leave right now.

Derrick walked out of the room giving Jayden the space he needed. He stood at the entrance pacing up and down like he was an expectant father. He looked at the door each time to know when Jayden was going to come out.

He and Jayden had been best friends and he had always treated him when he was not feeling fine. Jayden was surprised to hear Derrick was getting better and wondered how possible.

He looked at Annie on the bed and wondered how she looked so much like Shila. He gently opened her eyes and peeped into them. " uhmm...she looks pale."

Jayden administered some injections and gave her an IV. He was about to leave when he felt a warm hand on his wrist. " Please don't say a word to anybody about this," Annie said with a weak voice

Jayden was taken back, and looked at Annie "About what Shila?" but before he could continue the conversation with her, her hand dropped from his wrist

He looked at her and wondered what she was hiding. "How is she? Is she getting better? When will she be awake?" Derrick kept asking Jayden a lot of questions giving him no chance to reply to any of them.

"Can you just calm down for a second?" He says looking at the worried young prince,

"She is calm and stable for now but I will advise you to keep a close eye on her. I don't know what is going on with her blood system but she looked pale. I will have to run a few tests to know what is going on with her." Jayden reassured Derrick he would do everything in his power to make her feel alright

Derrick rushed into the room and looked at Annie as she slept peacefully. He slowly brushed a strand of hair that fell out of place to its rightful place. " I am sorry. I think I am the cause of this. I shouldn't have shouted." he said slowly regretting his anger took the best of him once again.

Annie slowly opened her eyes to see where she was. She was used to the small apartment where she and her mother lived. Living in luxury was still something she was finding it hard to live with. She felt sore and looked at the end of the bed. Derrick sat down with his head against the foot of the bed.

Annie tried to stand up but she fell, waking Derrick up. " Hey! Hey!! Slow down, will you? Just lie down. I can get you whatever you need." Derrick said with a sweet voice

The fact that Anie had always had to take care of her mother who was a drunkard and an addict gambler was something she did alone. She had no one to look out for her or fend for her when she was sick. She looked at Derrick and smiled " This is not your fault okay? You can stop blaming yourself." She said walking back to her bed.

"Shila, can you tell me what is going on? You look pale and I don't remember you were sick," he said, grabbing a cup of water for her on the table.

Annie remembered Elder Thomas's words, she knew she just had to make sure Derrick was properly fine before she left the Astral pack. She was going to do her best to make it feel better without getting in love with him. Annie wished he was her mate and not Grey who was a Casanova.

She remembered she had to play her part well as Sheila if she was going to get the $10,000 for her treatment. Part of her wish she could tell Derrick the truth but the other part of her was scared of the unknown. " what if he runs mentally again? What if he decides to have her killed for impersonating someone she shouldn't have or she's not? What if..?"

"Sheila! Sheila!!." Derrick's voice sent a shock wave down her spine as she looked at him. "You were lost in your thoughts. Is it that bad? You know you can tell me anything." Derrick said reassuringly

Annie wanted so badly to tell him but she said "she just needed some days to sleep and she'll be as good as new. Thanks." she collected the glass of water from him

Derrick looked at her and knew she was hiding something. The Sheila he knew was someone who would never hide things from him but Annie was. " Well, let me know if you need anything. I will leave a maid at the door. You can call on her when you need anything. Her name is Marie." He said walking out of the door. He stood again and looked at Annie who smiled back at him "I love you." she whispered

"I love you more." He closed the door behind her.

Derrick went into his room and brought out some pictures of him and Sheila. He glanced through them and the resemblance was striking. The girl on the bed looked exactly like Sheila but was the opposite of her at the same time. " Am I going nuts again? Is that Sheila?" Derrick kept saying himself when he heard a knock at the door

He stood up and walked up to the door. " Who is that?" he asked with anger. He hated to be disturbed when he was alone in his room. He opened the door and was surprised to see Elder Thomas.
