Chapter 319
No, you didn't suddenly get heart failure.
Everything still pointed to a scheme.
Taya had lied to Griffon several times before, so this type of treachery wasn't beyond the scope of her character.
He tried to comfort himself by telling himself this, but the uneasiness wouldn't go away, and he could make himself fully believe in the story he was trying to spin in his head.
He put down his phone, walked to the door, and opened it.
Andre was worried about his Alpha, so he hadn't left, had stayed outside the door.
When he saw how Griffon looked when he opened the door, he couldn't help but gasp.
"Alpha Knight, what's wrong?"
Griffon narrowed his blood-red eyes and ordered, "Call Stella."
He wanted to ask her what was happening, but he couldn't
bring himself to make the call. It was as if somewhere, deep inside, he knew what she was going to say. His wolf's intuition was rarely wrong, and there was definitely a reason why his wolf was so upset.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Andre quickly took out his phone and called Stella on speaker. She picked up after only one ring.
"Andre. Have you told Griffon?"
Without waiting for Andre to reply, Griffon said, "The medical report you gave me regarding Taya. There was nothing on there other than a minor heart attack. Why would she suddenly have congestive heart failure?"
Stella began to panic a bit. She wasn't prepared for Griffon's line of questioning. "At that time, Taya did not give me permission to release her medical records to you, or the results of my tests. You were insistent, but I cannot break privacy laws, so I made a fake report for you-"
Griffon flew into a rage.
"I am your Alpha! My wishes and commands supersede all others! Especially those of a human," he roared. "Human laws do NOT take precedence over pack law when it comes to these issues."
It was the first time that Stella had heard Griffon so angry.
She lowered her voice and said calmly, "I was going to go against the patient's wishes, but when I asked if you cared about Ms. Palmer, you said..."
Stella paused and admitted her mistake, addressing him
formally now. "Alpha Knight, I'm sorry. I made the wrong
decision."
A deep sense of powerlessness hit him.
"Stella, I expect that others don't know the real me and how I feel, but you? Couldn't you see my true feelings?"
The mere fact that he'd had his pack doctor work on a HUMAN should have said it all.
How could he show that he cared?
Was he supposed to go around voicing his emotions? No. That absolutely wouldn't do for an Alpha.
And it absolutely wouldn't do for him.
When he loved someone, they were used against him as leverage.
He'd showed love openly to someone once, but they tortured her to death...
Now, he hid his true feelings so well that even the people
closest to him couldn't figure out his thoughts. How could he
blame them?
He could only blame himself for this prison he was in, had always been in...
He clenched his jaw and hung up the phone, turning his gaze
on Andre.
"Prepare the plane."
He needed to return home immediately and see Taya with his own eyes. Otherwise, he would never believe that she had passed away.
