Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers-Chapter 171: Jeffery Yates
Chapter 171: Jeffery Yates
(Author’s POV)
"Master, Dr. Hayden, please come inside," Mary stepped aside and gestured for them to enter Yelena’s apartment.
"Dr. Hayden, finally you are~," Yelena stopped mid sentence when she saw her father alongside Dr. Hayden. She looked at him with an intense glare, boring her eyes at him. She then looked at Jeffery and asked matter of factly, "Dad, what brings you here?"
Jeffery, as cool as calm he is, said in a stern tone, "Dr. Hayden rang my number. He told me you asked him to come to your apartment." He looked at his daughter from head to toe, making sure there was nothing serious.
Yelena was pissed with Dr. Hayden, ’This guy can’t even keep his mouth shut. No, no, I am the stupid to think he would.’ She released a heavy breath and said, her hand on her forehead, "It’s not for me."
Jeffery didn’t say much after that and just made his way towards Myra’s room. He knocked at her door, thinking it must be Yelena’s boyfriend, that’s why she was being so secretive. But when he heard a girl’s voice, it surprised him. But he didn’t let it show on his face.
Yelena followed behind quietly though she was still was glaring daggers at Dr. Hayden. That guy didn’t look at Yelena and just asked, "Where is the patient, Ms. Yates?"
Jeffery entered the room quietly and when he saw Myra, his face turned gloomy, "Myra?"
Myra who was contemplating how to tell her parents about the flight delay heard Jeffery’s voice and looked at him with a guilty expression. She gulped hard and bit her tongue, greeting him, "Mr. Yates, good evening."
"William told me you went to Kimberg? What happened to you?" Jeffery asked, his voice gentle but stern. "Are you alright?"
William and Jeffery were good friends. So, it wasn’t surprising for Myra to know that Yelena’s father knew about her trip to Kimberg.
Before Myra could say anything, Yelena jumped in, "Uhhhh~ .... Dad, she came early and Uncle William doesn’t know about it? Can you keep it a secret for the time being, hmmm?"
Yelena stepped closer to him and started acting cutely, "Please, hmmmm?"
Jeffery arched his eyebrow and said, "Did you both do something? Why do you want to keep it from William? Did something happen to her?"
This time Myra spoke, "Mr. Yates, actually, while my stay in Kimberg. I fell from the staircase and sustained an injury. Though it is not bad but if they see me like that they will freak out. So, can you, please keep this a secret?"
With one hand on his waist and another pinching his nose bridge, Jeffery sighed, "Let Dr. Hayden check your injury first. Then we can decide."
Dr. Hayden stepped forward as Jeffery reprimanded Yelena, "You are getting out of hand, Yel. You didn’t even tell me nor your mother about any of this, very good. You are getting no allowance for next three months."
Yelena remained silent, though she wanted to beg not to do it. But she knew she was wrong and had to bear punishment.
Myra tried to defend Yelena, "Mr. Yates, I asked Yelena not to tell you or Mrs. Yates."
"But it is still not ok to lie, Myra. You should also come clean with Sandra and William," Jeffery suggested.
Myra didn’t reply, just kept her head lowered.
Dr. Hayden examined her cast covered ankle, asked Myra basic questions regarding it which she answered honestly. Myra showed him the medicine she had been prescribed and Dr. Hayden nodded in understanding.
He said in a professional tone, "Ms. Miracle, though your ankle will take time to heal but after a week you can take off this cast. But you need to be extremely careful with your wound. Don’t put pressure on it or it will slower the process."
Myra nodded, "I understand but about this cast, can’t you cut it off in the next two days? It is uncomfortable."
"No, you have to keep it. At least for next four days," Dr. Hayden declined sternly.
Myra tried to complain but when she saw Jeffery with his arms crossed, she sealed her mouth and only uttered, "Okay, I get it."
"Good, as for the medicines. The one prescribed to you are good enough. So, there won’t be any need to change it," Dr. Hayden added.
After that, Dr. Hayden gave Yelena some instruction and made his way out of her apartment.
For a while, there was complete silence in the room. Myra asked, her voice gentle, "How is you back, Mr. Yates?"
"It is much better than before," he replied. "Apart from Yelena, who knows about you?"
"Apart from Yelena, Wendy and now you. Just the three of you," Myra uttered
He then asked about Nora’s well being and made some other small talks. Yelena brought him a chilled glass of water and tried to sweet talk him which Jeffery brushed off.
Myra looked at the father daughter duo and smiled as soon Jeffery departed.
Before walking out, he said, "I won’t tell William for the time being. But if anything happens, tell me. Otherwise, I will have to contact him."
Yelena and Myra promised him and he made his way out.
As soon as Jeffery exited, Myra made up her mind to call her father. She excused herself to her room and called William. After two rings he picked up, "Myra? Have you arrived already?" There was a zing in his voice. freewebnσvel.cѳm
"Uhhh~ ...... dad. Actually, my flight has been cancelled. The weather here, it is downpouring due to which several flights has been cancelled. It will take a day or two here. I am sorry dad," Myra conveyed to him.
When William heard Myra’s words, his excitement deflated, "Ohhh~ It is okay. It is fine. Are you alright?"
Myra could feel a lump in her throat. She cleared it and said, trying to sound enthusiastic, "Oh, I am having a blast here. Nora and I went shopping today. I even bought you and mom souvenirs."
"Really, ohhhh, what did you buy, hmmm?" he asked playfully.
"That’s a secret. I will give to you in person," she chimed in reply.
"I have got something for you as well," William said with a hint of pride.
"Ummhmm~ dad ..... a gift for me. What is it?" she asked though she already knew the answer to it.
"I won’t tell. I will give you when you come back," he uttered with a puffed-up expression. He then asked, "By the way, where is Nora? I haven’t had any chance to talk to her ever since she shifted to Kimberg. Give her the phone, I want to talk to her."
Myra clicked her tongue and fumbled with her words, "Nora ..... ummm ..... she .... she isn’t here right now. I will tell her you were asking for her .... coming ... Ohh dad, Nora’s mum is calling for me. I will talk to you later, okay, bye, love you."
"Bye and take care," William replied and the called ended there.
Myra exhaled and inhaled sharply. A burden was lifted off her shoulders.

In Kimberg, the weather was gloomy as dark clouds were lingering in the sky. It really has been raining cats and dogs there.
Ever since Eleanor Moore saw Myra’s picture, she was stunned by her familiar appearance.
Earlier during the meeting, she somehow managed to compose herself but now that she was all alone, the uncanny similarity between Myra and ’that person’ was inevitable to look over.
"Maybe she just looks like that person. After all, also Sara said she is just a human and nothing more," she tried to convince herself. But in heart, she knew something definitely was amiss.
’What if? What if that girl and ...., what if they have a connection? I need to find out before anyone could track that down,’ she thought while biting her fingernails nervously. ’If she is the one then it’s going to create havoc in upcoming days. No one will be spared."
A knock on her door interrupted her thought process as Sara’s voice came in, "Elder Moore?"
Eleanor cleared of her head and made her way towards the door. "Luna Sara, do you need something?"
"I was just checking up on you. Can I come inside for a few seconds?" Sara asked with a smile.
Eleanor stepped aside and called her in, "Of course, come in." as she locked the door.
"Are you alright, Elder Moore? Ever since the meeting you seem a little absent minded. Is there something I can help you with?" Sara inquired.
"I guess the weather in this region isn’t suitable for an old wolf like me. So, how are things within your pack?" Eleanor shifted the topic swiftly.
"I can’t say things have been smooth. There are challenges and a lot of hidden spies. But it is still better than before," Sara told her truthfully.
"About the increasing rogue attacks, did you find any mole?" Eleanor questioned.
