Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 734

Chapter 734: Never had the chance

Jeniva sat propped up against the hospital bed, listening quietly as the doctor reviewed the results of her examinations. The faint smell of antiseptic lingered in the room, and the steady beeping of the monitor beside her reminded her that she was still in the hospital.

"The tests look normal," the doctor said reassuringly as he checked the chart in his hands. "Your vital signs are stable, and there are no internal injuries."

Jeniva nodded faintly, though the soreness in her body made every small movement noticeable.

"You only need a few days of proper rest," the doctor continued. "The bruises will fade on their own. Once the swelling reduces, you should feel much better."

Jeniva remained silent for a moment before asking the question that had been troubling her.

"Doctor... how’s my friend?"

"She’s asking about AJ," Evan added from where he stood nearby.

The doctor glanced up from the chart.

"I’m afraid I can’t give you an update on him," he replied. "He’s under the care of a different doctor."

He closed the file gently.

"I’ll leave the two of you to talk."

With that, the doctor stepped out of the room, the nurse following behind him. The door closed softly, leaving the room quiet again.

Evan walked closer to the bed.

"AJ was taken into surgery," he explained. "But the operation was successful."

Jeniva looked relieved, though concern still lingered in her eyes.

"He’s still unconscious right now," Evan added. "The anesthesia hasn’t worn off yet."

He picked up a glass from the nearby table, filled it with water, and handed it to her.

"Here. Drink this."

Jeniva took the glass from Evan and brought it to her lips.

"Thank you," she said softly.

As she drank, her thoughts drifted for a moment. She had expected Dominick to appear the moment she regained consciousness. Yet he hadn’t come.

But just then, a familiar scent reached her senses. It was of Dominick’s pheromones.

The moment it touched her senses, a strange warmth spread through her chest. The lingering weakness she had been feeling seemed to fade slightly, replaced by an odd sense of comfort she couldn’t quite explain.

Then his voice broke through the silence.

"Jeniva!"

Dominick stood at the doorway, his expression tense with worry. But the moment he saw her awake and sitting up, the anxiety on his face melted into visible relief.

Evan noticed the moment as well.

"I’ll go check on AJ," he said quickly, already stepping toward the door.

Within seconds he slipped out of the room, leaving them alone.

As the door closed behind him, Dominick walked toward the bed.

He stopped beside her, studying her face carefully. "You did well," he said finally. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

But his tone shifted slightly. "Still... you should have listened to me."

Jeniva tilted her head at him.

"Your Highness," she said, raising an eyebrow faintly, "are you planning to scold me while I’m lying in a hospital bed? Shouldn’t you be patting my back with pride instead? The mission was successful. Even though AJ was injured... he’ll recover."

"Worry about yourself," Dominick said. "AJ is a beta. His body will recover in two or three days."
