All Chapters of Not bound by honey: Chapter 131 - Chapter 137

Jocelyn’s POVThe moment the helicopter touched down, everything outside it turned into movement and noise.Floodlights cut through the rain. Hospital staff were already waiting on the roof with a stretcher, and as soon as the doors opened, cold air hit us hard.Allison was taken first.“Severe blood loss,” one of the medics called out as they lifted her out. “Blood pressure unstable, possible internal hemorrhage.”Devin was right behind them before anyone could stop him.A nurse stepped into his path. “Sir, you need to stay back—”“I’m not leaving her,” he said, not even looking at her properly, already walking.For a second there was hesitation, like no one wanted to escalate it in the middle of an emergency.Then Allison made a faint sound, barely more than a breath, and that was enough to break him completely. He reached for her hand and kept walking beside the stretcher anyway, refusing to let go even when they pushed through the hospital doors.And then she was gone into surgery

Devin’s POVI stayed by her hospital room for three straight days and barely left her side.Which, honestly, made me feel like the world’s biggest simp.I barely knew this woman.One night in the woods and suddenly I was sleeping in uncomfortable hospital chairs, surviving off vending machine coffee, and timing my bathroom breaks around nurse check-ins.It was ridiculous.But something in me needed her to wake up and know she had not been abandoned.That I had not just left her there after everything that happened.People came and went constantly.Even Jackson and my mother stopped by once together.But the person I hated seeing most was Mary.Goodness, I hated when Mary showed up.She always walked into the room like she owned the place, immediately scanning for me like I was an infection she needed to clear out.Yesterday she came in, tapped me once on the shoulder, and pointed toward the door.“Out.”I stared at her. “Excuse me?”“You knew her for two hours,” she said bluntly. “Sto

The following weeks went by fast. Ally stayed in the hospital for two more days after she woke up. Mary insisted she stay with her afterward too, doting over her for what felt like forever. We never really crossed paths after that. I suspected it was because she was trying to avoid staff gossip. Our family had forbidden anyone from talking about the situation in front of the Jackson staff, but there was no way people were not whispering about it anyway. Especially the students. The women around campus definitely treated me differently afterward. Some looked at me like I was some kind of axe murderer. Others acted like I was some sort of sex god. And I was a little obsessed with seeing Alison again. Just to make sure she was okay. I could not imagine becoming the center of gossip like that. If people were talking this much around me, what the hell was she dealing with? I was finding fewer and fewer reasons to keep visiting my brother by the day. Until one afternoon, I spotted her.
