Preston's handsome face darkened. "Excuse me?"
Harper glared at him, turned around, and ran away withoutNôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
saying anything.
When Preston came to his senses, she had already left.
His wolf rose to the surface, and he had to tamp it down so as to not start partially shifting and further damaging his wrist.
Preston stormed into the emergency room.
When she heard from the nurse that Taya had woken up, Stella immediately came to the VIP ward to check on Taya's condition. When she found no sign of infection on the back of
her head, Stella breathed a sigh of relief.
"We took care of your head wound, and it appears to look okay. No signs of infection, but..." Stella paused for a moment and looked at Taya regretfully. "Your heart is getting worse. I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on for much longer. Taya had long known about her physical condition, so she didn't care. "How long... can I hold on?"
Stella put her hands into her pockets and stared at Taya's pale face. "A week or so."
If Taya hadn't suffered such a severe injury, she could live
another two months.
"Ms. Palmer, who injured your head?"
Griffon only sent a message to Stella telling her that Shelly,
Tara, and he had taken action against Taya and asked Stella to save Taya as soon as possible.
But he didn't say who caused Taya's injuries.
Stella guessed it might have been caused by a group fight, but she didn't believe Griffon would participate. As Alpha, he had pack guards to take care of minor problems. He only made a show of force against other wolves.
There was a trace of loneliness in Taya's eyes. She lowered her long eyelashes to hide them.
Taya was silent and seemed unwilling to speak, so Stella did not mention it again. She turned around, picked up a paper
bag, and handed it to Taya.
"This is what you left in the mall. A nurse brought it back for
you."
Stella put the paper bag on the bedside table, then said softly, "Just rest. If you feel uncomfortable, ring the bell." She turned around and was about to leave, but Taya stopped
her. "Stella..."
Stella turned around to look at her. "Yes?"
Frowning, Taya looked at the paper bag on the bedside table and said, "There's a bottle of perfume...for you."
Stella was taken aback. She followed Taya's line of sight and Mooked at the paper bag. Then, she looked back at her and asked, "You...went to the mall to bu, he perfume?"
Taya nodded. "You gave me so much medicine. I want to thank you..."
The shock in Stella's eyes gradually turned into gratitude.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she was at a loss.
Stella stood rooted to the spot for a few minutes before walking up to Taya again. She touched Taya's pale face.
"I'm so sorry. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have met Shelly. It's all my fault."
Taya couldn't see Stella's expression clearly but could feel her apology. She smiled. "It has nothing to do with you..."
She had overestimated herself and wanted to punish Shelly.
She should have known better than to offend a she-wolf that she wasn't as strong as.
It was just another stupid decision in a long line of stupid decisions.
Like falling in love with someone she could never have.
