Chapter 271
Damian had always complained about being poor before Hr. But he had the money to bring his sister to such an
sive private hospital?
arper began to suspect that the $200,000 Damian had
taken was for his sister's treatment.
If she was really his sister, it would be acceptable to spend the
money on her. If she was not...
Harper glared at Damian. Damian's heart trembled, but he didn't show it.
He took the fruit basket from Harper's hand and explained,
"My brother-in-law doesn't lack money, but he is abroad and
can't come back to take care of his mate in time."
The woman also chimed in. "Harper, right? I'm sorry my mate is not by my side. It just so happens that Damian has just returned, and I felt the pup's movement. I had to trouble
him to bring me to a bigger hospital in Arcadia as soon as
possible..."
She glared at Damian and said, "It's all your fault. I asked you
to inform my sister-in-law in advance, but you were so
nervous that you forgot about it."
The first sentence made Harper feel very uncomfortable. The
second sentence, "you were so nervous that you forgot about it," almost made Harper furious. What kind of game was she playing.
Harper said calmly, "It don't matter. Whether he informs me
or not, as your 'sister-in-law,' I will come to visit you."
She emphasized the word "sister-in-law," and the pregnant woman's face darkened.
Taya didn't miss the woman's mood change at.
Seeing that the she-wolf seemed to mind Harper calling herself "sister-in-law" very much, Taya couldn't help but interrupt. "Harper, maybe Damian didn't want you to work too hard, so he didn't tell you. He didn't want you to be coming here to take care of your ill sister-in- law on top of working lateProperty © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
hours."
After saying that, Taya glanced at Damian. "Isn't that right, Damian...?"
Damian could only nod and smile. "Of course, I don't want Harper to be too tired."
Only then did Harper step forward and hold Damian's arm.
"Hubby, you're the best to me. I've been with you for so long, but you've never asked me to do housework..."
Harper deliberately stretched out her slender fingers and waved them. "Look, how tender my hands are..."
The woman's face turned pale again. She wanted to say something, but she obediently shut her mouth when Damian shot her a look, his wolf flashing in his eyes for a second.
Although Harper was pretending to show off, she saw their expressions. Instead of letting her face know how she was feeling, she was remarkably calm.
"Hubby, are you afraid I'll be tired from the journey and won't let me return to your pack lands? I don't even know your family. What's your sister's name? When did she get pregnant? Where did she have her mating ceremony? Why did she feel the pup's movement as soon as you went back? Is it serious enough to be at the pack hospital?"
Faced with Harper's interrogation, Damian's palms were sweaty, but he seemed to have been mentally prepared for it.
He said calmly, "My sister's mate is repairing the road in the village this year. I plan to take you home during the Spring Festival..."
Damian tried to appease Harper's doubts about not bringing
her back to his pack lands.
"As for my sister, her name is Michelle. She mated into the neighboring pack. But before the elders could finalize everything, her mate went to South Africa. I was worried that something would happen between them, so I didn't tell you. I only found out that she was pregnant when I returned to my
pack lands today..."
