Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha novel Chapter 13

Rowena must have tendered her resignation letter, but due to her position, it was not easy for her to leave just like that, especially when she planned on returning to Canada very soon. Aside from being known as the best doctor, she was also addressed as the most beautiful doctor they had ever met, both in manners and facial features.

After discussing with Jason and both coming to terms and an agreement, Rowena and Gracie took the next step in their decision by submitting their resignation letters to the hospital where they worked. Jason was saddened, but since it involved his sister, he encouraged Rowena to hasten things. However, Rowena’s immediate boss was the one most affected by the news.

“Resignation letter? Why, Miss Rowena Stone?” Her boss asked, feeling deflated. He knew that good opportunities knocked on doors, but with the benefit packages they gave Rowena, it was unexpected. Rowena was slightly guilty because of how good this man had been to her, even in the beginning when she was not so good. He was her greatest mentor throughout all her attachment programs.

“I have to travel to a far place. To my mother. She needs me,” Rowena gulped and said in a thin voice. She feared that, with how Jason was mounting pressure on her, something might happen to her mother if she did not arrive on time. She had not sent a response to her mother to inform her of her coming since the woman might insist on Jaxon coming to get her at the airport. Rowena knew it without asking because of the constant mention of that name in every letter.

“Have her come over. Management will take care of all the expenses,” her boss promised her, and Rowena was greatly moved; her eyes were moist. Before now, only her mother and uncle cared, but since she moved to Canada, she had felt love from so many people. She would not have left if her mother was not sick. That woman gave her everything, and she loved her with every breath.

“I tried, but she refused to leave her hometown. I haven’t seen her in eight years, and she’s sick,” Rowena explained in plain terms, seeing how much the man cared. Hearing that her mother was sick, even her boss held back the next package he wanted to use to plead with her to stay. At first, he thought it was because she had an opportunity in a different hospital and was just creating an excuse like most people did, but hearing the details of the matter, he bit back the urge to talk about the incentive package.

“Awww, Miss Stone, you are one of our best doctors. I’m so sorry for your mother,” he managed to say before adding, “but since you are there, I believe that she will recover soon.”

“I know, which is why I’m sorry,” Rowena said seriously.

“Is that the reason why Gracie resigned too?” Her boss asked. Gracie was also a very good doctor, but Rowena could be marked as excellent.

“I’m sorry, but yes. She wants to be with me,” Rowena said honestly.

“Is there a chance that you will be back?” Her boss asked with hope. He was a man in his early forties. Rowena smiled, being certain that she would return as soon as her mother got better. She would just spend some extra days to convince her to come with her.

“Yes. As soon as my mother gets better, I shall return, but I don’t want to give false hopes since I don’t know how long it’s going to take. It’s also the reason why I tendered a resignation instead of a long leave,” Rowena thoughtfully explained.

Her boss sighed. In the end, he extended his hand to her and said, “There will always be a place for you here at Eastern Hospital. Thanks to you, our hospital is ranked as number one in Canada.”

Rowena shook his hand and responded, “And it will remain that way. I am very grateful for all the love and support you have shown me.”

“Have a fruitful break, Miss Stone; you shall be greatly missed.”

“Thank you.”

Later that day, they had a send-off party for Rowena and Gracie. The friends had already booked their flights and left the hospital for the airport. No matter how Rowena tried, the pain from the past just wouldn’t go away.

She breathed in and out, assuring herself that as soon as her mother was fine, she would leave together with her to Canada, never to return to the pack again. “Are you sure you want to do this?” Gracie asked for the last time. Rowena sighed before she responded, “It’s the right thing to do.”
