Chapter 45. Brand New Chick

Adeline POV

Beep. Beep. Beep.

A loud annoying noise pierced my ears, closely reminding me of an alarm clock. Feeling like I was waking up from the worst hangover I had ever experienced; I struggled to open my eyes and decided to shift to move onto my side instead. Five more minutes, I thought to myself as my head pounded hard. I felt a tug come from my arm in surprise and I mustered the strength to finally open my eyes. I could feel my eyes widening as I stared at the IV needle hooked into my arm, as a short breath left my chest. I glared around the room still processing where I was and what was happening, locking eyes with an older man predictably in his 50’s, standing over me with tousled black hair and wearing a white overcoat.

“Addy!”, my panicked voice shrieked and I bolted my head to the other side of the bed that I was laying on. “I’m so happy you’re okay, you gave us such a scare!”, Sophia said, almost throwing her body onto mine in a hug.
