Griffon, you…”
Taya wanted to ask him why he had taken her here,
but she didn’t know how to ask him.
She lowered her head and did not dare to look at him.
However, he seemed to have read her mind, glancing at her.
“You can rest here for a few days before I take you back.”
And that was all he said.
When Taya heard that he would take her home, she was no longer so nervous. As for a reason…
Perhaps because of choking her, causing her to almost break, he felt sorry for her.
Although the reason was farfetched, she didn’t dare to think too much about it. Plus, it didn’t matter how much she thought about it, she would never be able to figure out his reasons.
The man was a puzzle wrapped in a mystery.
Griffon helped her lie down on the bed and called the housekeeper in.
“Frank, go and prepare some light food.”
“Got it.” Frank hurried off.
As soon as he left, Griffon called two maids to prepare some female supplies and help Taya wash up.
The wounds on her back and the symptoms of heart failure made it painful for her to move. She had to rely on others’ help if she wanted to wash up.
Anticipated her needs and arranged everything for her.
She was touched and couldn’t help whispering,
“Thank you…”
Griffon didn’t reply. He just glanced at her and turned to leave the room.
After he sat down on the sofa on the second floor, he took out his laptop and began to work.
It was not until Frank, the housekeeper, went upstairs with the food he had prepared that he stopped his work. He looked at Frank and said, “Give it to me.”
Frank was stunned momentarily when he realized that his Alpha was going to take the young lady’s food to her himself.
Now, it made sense why he was working here instead of his office.
He’d been waiting.
Frank quickly handed him the tray. “Alpha, be careful. It’s hot.”
Griffon nodded, got up, and walked towards the second bedroom.
The maid had just finished drying Taya’s hair. When she saw the Alpha coming in, she quickly lowered her head and left quietly.
Both maids had helped Taya bathe, and there was no makeup on her face, which made her look pale and sickly.
Griffon would probably have thought she had an incurable disease if it weren’t for her beautiful features that covered up some signs of illness.
Fortunately, he had read her examination report and found nothing wrong with her except for congenital heart disease, so he didn’t think too much about it.
Sure, humans were weaker…but money could fix anything.
He placed the tray on the bedside table, took the small bowl of soup, stirred it with a spoon to cool it off a bit, and held it out to Taya.
“Open.”
Taya looked at him blankly for a moment, unable to react immediately. Was this the same person?
“You don’t like it?”
Griffon put down the soup in his hand, picked up another bowl from the tray, lifted a spoonful up again, and motioned for her to open her mouth with a look.
Taya finally came to her senses from disbelief when the warm soup touched her lips.
She opened her mouth awkwardly and ate the bite.
“Do you want more?”
After feeding her spoon by spoon, Griffon picked up the other bowl of soup next to him and wanted to continue to feed her.
Taya quickly shook her head. “I’m full.”
Only then did Griffon put down his bowl and wipe the corners of her mouth with a cloth napkin.
Taya had been with him for five years, but he had never cared for her like this, had never even shown her any inkling that he was capable of caring for someone like this.
She opened her eyes and stared blankly at the man before her. Was this really happening right now?
But Griffon didn’t think it was odd or inappropriate at all.
After putting the napkin down, he took out his phone and called Stella, asking her to bring the medical Equipment to the villa.
Hearing this, Taya quickly recovered from her shock.
“I’ll be fine after I rest. There’s no need to trouble Stella.”
Griffon gave her a sidelong glance and used his Alpha voice on her. “It’s up to me to decide if it’s troublesome.”
Taya had no choice but to s h ut her mouth obediently and let him do as he pleased…
Griffon had already left the room when Stella came in with a pile of instruments.
Watching Stella give her medicine and administer IV fluids, Taya felt embarra*used.
Stella gave her a meaningful smile.
“Ms. Palmer, you’re so lucky.”
Stella was probably referring to the fact that Griffon treated her differently.
But this difference was most likely only be due to pity.
After all, they had been together for five years, and even the most indifferent person would show more concern upon suddenly finding out that she had heart disease.
Stella didn’t know what Taya was thinking, though.
She applied some tape to the IV on the back of her hand, took a few boxes of medicine, and handed them to her.
“You are so lucky. I just bought a batch of medicine from a pack abroad. It’s not something we typically need, but since it has a long shelf life, and we see humans at the hospital since they come into town for business, I decided to stock up.
“It should at least relieve some pain…”
Taya’s heart warmed. She’d heard horror stories of other shifter areas never having anything for human medical needs. That it was something Stella thought about showed just what a good person she was.
She reached out to take the medicine, smiling and softly saying, “Thank you.”
After telling her to rest, Stella left.
Griffon was sitting on the sofa outside, dealing with business, using several phones and computers at the He was busy to the point of being overwhelmed, yet he remained at home steadfastly, obviously for the sake of the s ic k beauty in the bedroom.
That sickly beauty must be critical to him, Stella thought.
After Griffon hung up the video conference, she walked over.
“Alpha Knight, Ms. Palmer still needs to rest for some time. I’ll come later to give her another infusion.”
Griffon didn’t even look at her. He just nodded, looking a little tired.
He thought Stella would leave when she finished filling him in, but she stood there.
