Alpha Dax - My mate has a son!

Chapter 24

Becca's POV

Before I realized I had already gone far into the book as I would take a break to rest my eyes and then have some of snacks and water.

It was a book of a hundred and more pages and I had to read more than one book today because I would not have any other time to read and research till next week. After all, this research was not actually part of my job but I wanted to go the extra mile for everything because I felt they were doing it all wrong and they were not going through the right as to solve this problem and that way they would not get any positive result but I wanted to try because this got a little more personal to me and it was far more than just work because it meant a lot to me that I found a solution to this problem and soon because the pandemic was affecting a lot of people and it had started taking a lot of lives.

I stood up again still on my break and went ahead to pick another book and this wasn't really Medical. 'How to know if your partner wants to have s*x but isn't telling you.' This was such a weird book and I laughed about it but I still took it for a reason even though I didn't understand.

I opened the first page and read through it quickly like a mouse. I didn't want Dax to ever catch me reading this. He is definitely going to have a lot of questions about why I would be reading such a book but even I didn't know as I enjoyed just the first page of the book and I couldn't stop. I didn't want to know if he wanted to be intimate, did I? We had already talked about it and we decided not to rush anything again but still, I wondered if he actually wanted to but just said yes because of me. I wasn't that selfish, was I? no I wasn't. I was so caring.

But maybe it would be okay if we discuss this again because we were closer and I didn't want it to be like I am a selfish person because he might actually need me and I didn't want him to result in doing it with the maids. He can't even do such, he has high standards and is very cold he would probably murder anyone of them who actually tried to seduce him.

Oh God, I was so off course like I was meant to be reading something else entirely not this s*x skills book. I was wasting my time but I was also stuck, I wasn't able to turn a page of the medical book if I hadn't read through the s*x book till the bee's last page. It was very addicting and one would want to know more than they wouldn't want to know more.

Soon it was evening and I was sad to know that I didn't really achieve what I wanted thanks to that s*x book. The funny part was that I didn't even finish the book so I carried it along with me to my room which means I was going to keep on distracting myself for a long time now. I was already tired so I couldn't read anything and I also didn't see Day ever since that time. I think he was angry with me since that morning or he was probably busy. Anyways I was going to go check up on him tomorrow at least to tell him to thank you for allowing me to use his library for a whole day.

I went to bed and saw Kade already sound asleep. He didn't see me throughout the whole day. I patted his head and soon fell asleep.

The next morning.

***

We stopped laughing to answer poor Kade

“A business partner is someone that you work with and own a business together” I answered him and he nodded, “okay,” he said before skipping happily to his chair.

“Have you eaten?” I asked him, “I ate a little with grandma but I’m still hungry” he replied

“Come with me to the visitor's cafeteria to eat” I suggested and he stood up and ran to my side

“Let’s goooo” he screamed out and I burst out laughing

“Okay, we’ll be back mom,” I said to her

“Don’t take too long” she replied and I nodded

“I have another story to tell Kade,” she said and gave a weak wink at Kade, and Kade jumped excitedly, happy to hear that there would be another story waiting for him when he gets back.

We went outside with Lina

“Your son is so cute,” she said to me and I laughed, “he is and I’m lucky to have him” I replied and she squealed

“Awwwnn,” she said and I just looked at her laughing

“Now I want to have a son too,” she said and I laughed

“You should, but it’s not easy being a mother,” I told her and she paused

“How?” She asked and I shook my head, “don’t worry you’ll get there one day” I said to her and she shrugged and continued walking with me and Kade.

We got to the visitor's cafeteria and problem we were there, I was not expecting such a crowd

I went to the counter to order for Kade, I brought him to the front and said he was a patient's son and the patient asked me to take him to the cafeteria to eat.

They didn’t look convinced but when Lina said I was telling the truth they allowed us to order for Kade.

“What do you want to eat,” I asked Kade

“Can I have spaghetti and a juice box?” Kade asked shyly and the lady at the counter nodded.

I collected his food and they gave him a free bar of chocolate because he was a kid. We went to sit at a table and I started feeding Kade since I didn’t want him to stain the shirt he was wearing.

Lina asked if she could feed him and I let her, Kade was hesitant at opening his mouth at first but he later obliged.

I checked the time and it was almost two o’clock

Time passed fast, Lina finished feeding Kade and went back to my mom's room.

I dropped Kade off with my mom, “be good, when I come back we’ll go home” I said and he nodded. I waved goodbye to him and my mom and so did Lina, she also blew a kiss to Kade which made him blush.

Lina chuckled at his reaction before we left, we went back to our office and no one was there. Lina had to see a patient and I continued my research.

I came across a website that explained a similar disease that happened in the 1700s. This one was caused by a virus, it would drain your immune system to the lowest and make you extremely weak. The symptoms were coughing, constant tiredness, fainting, loss of breath for minutes and you would lose your ability to talk and walk for a few hours.

‘Wow that was a very dangerous disease’ I thought to myself but it couldn’t be the same disease we are battling with right now. I didn’t know the full symptoms of this disease we are facing right now but once I know it, I would be able to compare the one from the 1700s to the present virus.

If it was the same disease, that means it came back more than three hundred years later, and there was still no cure.

On that same website, it said that a vaccine was tried which would make the contractor feel better but it was just killing the immune system. The vaccine would try to kill the virus but it would spread instead to different organs and the vaccine wouldn’t be enough for the whole body. And if taken too much it would be an overdose and could lead to death.

If it was the same illness we were dealing with presently that means, the vaccine and d**g my mom was using were trying to kill the virus but it would spread instead. This was just an assumption though, I wasn’t sure if it was the same illness and if it was going to have the same effect.

I could tell the head of the research team about what I just discovered but I think I should do more research and make it a report for him to view instead of just telling him orally.

This information could be really meaningful and helpful, it could even serve as a guide to help us find a cure for this present disease.

There was one thing I was confused about though, I have visited my mom a lot of times but I haven’t contracted the disease, Kade too hadn’t contracted. That means it is not easily contracted.

If it wasn’t easily contracted, it could be by blood. That means there’s a carrier that isn’t at this hospital for my mom to have contracted it.

This was really draining and I was thinking deep. I could ask my mom the last person she came in contact with before she was rushed to the hospital, but I couldn’t know since I wasn’t around.

I was gone for years. If I hadn’t left, would things have been different?

Would I have dug up this information the moment they discovered the illness?

I wondered.
