h4Chapter 173: Caught?/h4

    Kaito sighed and rubbed his face with both hands. He leaned back in his seat and gave it a deep thought. They had been fools to believe no one was watching them. He wondered for how long it had been going on. The man knew every single move they made. He could even be watching them right now.

    "We think Dr. Dn is Mr. de," Hailey said, her eyes on Kaito.

    Ang frowned in confusion. Each passing minute only added to the weight pressing down on her chest. "How is that possible? I know a hospital was built in my town. It started working not long before I got admitted into the academy."

    "So have you ever seen this Dr. Dn before?" Beta de asked, studying her.

    Ang shook her head. She was hardly ever sick, and when she was, the hospital gave her a different doctor. She was too broke to ever see the great Dr. Dn.

    "He doesn’t attend to everyone," Renn said in a low tone. "You have to book an appointment and pay a lot of money to see him." He looked up at the ceiling and froze when he saw the cameras. He did not even know if they belonged to the academy or to Dr. Dn himself.

    At that moment the red light on the camera flickered wildly. A strange glow filled the room and a sharp high sound pierced the air, growing louder and sharper. Ang pressed her palms against her ears, her heart racing, until her eyes moved to Kaito.

    He sat still with his face buried in his palms, not disturbed by the noise. She walked to him andid a hand on his shoulder. He was using his powers to blow out the cameras.

    "It’s okay, Kaito," she whispered, rubbing his back gently. "You will scare the patients."

    The door opened and Kaito jumped to his feet. The others turned as the doctor came out with Taros.

    "The blood transfusion is ongoing," the doctor said. "We managed to calm the fever, but we still need to run all the tests. The results will be out tomorrow. I will let your brother exin more, I have another patient to attend to."

    "Thank you, doc," Renn said, shaking his hand with relief. "Please, can we keep this between us? We don’t want the school management to find out."

    "Even Principal Valois?" the doctor asked, his eyes narrowing.

    "Especially her and de," Renn replied firmly. He had known the doctor for years and trusted him to keep it secret if he gave his word.

    The doctor breathed deeply and gave a slow nod. "I won’t say anything. But if the results show that his condition is critical, I am sorry..."

    "We understand," Kaito cut in, blinking his tired eyes.

    The doctor gave them a faint smile and walked away.

    "Can we see Kael now?" Kaito asked, his voice low but heavy.

    "Yes," Taros said as he opened the door for them. They all went inside, but Ang stayed back in the hallway.

    "Are you noting in?" he asked.

    "Not yet. I want us to talk," she replied and moved to the other side. Taros closed the door and walked to meet her.

    "Have you been crying?" he asked softly, cupping her face in his hands. His deep blue eyes searched hers, and for a moment she wanted to get lost in them.

    "No, I haven’t," Ang whispered, lying as she tried to avoid his gaze. She wanted to look at him, she always did, but not now. She did not want him to worry.

    "Your eyes tell a different story. Did I make you cry?" Taros asked, letting go of her face with care. He stepped back, guilt heavy in his voice. "I didn’t want to hit him, but I lost control. My jealousy got the best of me. I messed everything up."

    "I didn’t cry because of you," Ang said as she walked toward him. Her voice trembled. "I just don’t want you all to keep hurting each other because of me. We can face this path together. Somehow, we will find a way through."

    "A way through..." he repeated, his eyes dark with pain. "Do you mean you will reject three of us and choose the one you want?"

    "No. Why would you even think that, Taros?" she asked, her voice breaking.

    "I don’t know," he admitted. "You have been with Hiro a lottely. I can’t help but think you like him more."

    Ang sighed and crossed her arms over her chest. His jealousy was clear, and part of her wanted to smile at it, but it was not something to y with. "I was paired with him, that’s all. Later I went to his ce because I couldn’t sleep. He did nothing wrong. If anyone should be med, it’s me and the moon goddess."

    "Alright then," Taros said, his voice soft, already surrendering because he did not want to argue or hurt her more. He pulled her into his arms. "I’m sorry. I won’t behave like that again."

    "You said the same thing after you punched Renn," Ang reminded him, her face pressed against his chest.

    "You won’t ever forget, will you?" Taros chuckled as he held her tighter. "I love talking to you, I love being with you, and I love the fact that I am your mate. I want to stay by your side every hour of the day, and when I cannot, I lose my mind."

    Ang smiled as his words sank into her. They brought calm to her troubled heart. Did he truly love her that much?

    "Time is up. We are having an important discussion inside," Alex’s voice broke in, cutting through the moment. He stood by the door, holding it open, waiting for them toe in. Taros and Ang had no choice but to listen. As she walked past him, Alex bent his head and whispered, "I am only the messenger."

    Ang rolled her eyes and stepped inside. Kael was lying on the bed, pale but awake. A stand beside him held a blood bag, the tube running into his arm through a needle. It was the first time Ang had ever seen a blood transfusion, and the sight made her chest tighten.

    "Hello, Kael," she said softly. He turned his head toward her and managed a weak smile.

    "I am fine, strong even, but these people would not let me be. They insisted on a blood transfusion and a list of tests," he said, his voice too faint for someone usually so full of life. "How are you?"

    His words made everyoneugh in relief. Ang went closer and said gently, "I will be fine when you finally get out of this bed."

    "Then tell Taros to take this needle out," Kael joked, trying to sound brave.

    "I will do it," Hiro said quickly, moving toward him, but Kaito caught his arm before he got close.

    "I thought he wanted it out," Hiro protested, frowning.

    Kaitoughed and gave his arm a yful p. "The both of you joke a lot. Look how serious your face is, old man."

    Hiroughed too as he leaned back. He turned to Kael with a grin. "You better get well soon, buddy. Since Renn has dumped me for Kaito, I have no one but you."

    "Hey, why would you say that?" Renn looked surprised.

    "It’s obvious. Don’t deny it, bro," Hiro said with a teasing smile.

    "No way, my brother," Renn walked over to him and pulled him into a hug. "I will die for you and no one else."

    "See what lies he is spilling," Hiroughed, and the others joined in. Ang looked at Kael, who was smiling. This was what he needed, the warmth of his friends around him. She hoped these moments would heal him and give him strength.

    But just when she thought the happiness wouldst, the door opened and Miss Valois walked in. Behind her was Mr. de, wearing a brown shirt and ck trousers, a white cap sitting on his head.

    Ang’s heart skipped a beat. Trouble hade. The room fell silent at once. She could not understand how Miss Valois had found them here.

    "If Mr. de had not told me about this, I would never have known," the principal said, her sharp eyes sweeping over each of them. She looked sterner than ever. "Each of you will report to the board."

    "Why?" Renn asked.

    "Because you have been keeping secrets from me, and in doing so you put the lives of the students at risk," she said firmly.

    Ang felt dread coil in her chest. Were they caught? Did their secret n leak? She scanned every face in the room. Could someone have betrayed them and gone to Mr. de? And if so, who among them was the mole?
