Stella thought for a moment and tried to persuade Harper. “Ms. Duke, Ms. Leiner is used to being cruel.
You are no match for her, and she has many packs guards, being immediate family of the Alpha. If something happens to you, who will care for Ms.
Palmer?”
The doctor had a point, and Harper’s wolf’s rage dimmed a little at the prospect of Taya being left completely alone.
“But how can I just let it go like this?”
“Oh, you can’t just let it go.”
Harper looked at Stella in surprise, not understanding what she meant.
There was a hint of indifference in Stella’s beautiful eyes. “It’s not enough to deal with people who rely on their power to do whatever they want. Not only will it not hurt them, but it will also harm you. If you want to deal with them, you must plan slowly…”
Impulsiveness could not solve any problems. Only by strengthening oneself first can be the person can take revenge.
Similar to when dealing with Eric, she didn’t feel it was slow, even if she had to spend 10 years because she had to escape unscathed if she wanted revenge.
Stella’s indifferent look made Harper feel that she seemed to have hidden a lot of hatred in her heart.
But Stella was already in a high position and so capable. Was there anyone she couldn’t deal with or take revenge for?
Stella patted Harper on the shoulder. “Taya was injured because of me. Leave the matter of dealing with Ms. Leiner to me.”
Harper and Taya had poor backgrounds, so they shouldn’t bear it.
Although Stella’s family background was not much better than theirs, she now had some ability to protect herself, so she was not afraid.
Harper still wanted to say something, but Stella interrupted her. “Your task is to take good care of Taya.”
After saying that, Stella gave Harper a gentle smile, telling her not to dwell on this matter for now and turning to look at Taya.
She was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat, so Harper felt distressed and quickly took out a towel to wipe her sweat.
After cleaning up, Harper asked Stella nervously, “How is Taya’s heart?”
Harper was worried that Taya’s heart would be damaged as her body weakened.
Stella glanced at Harper and didn’t know what to say.
Without the patient’s consent, she couldn’t reveal any of Taya’s medical issues to Harper.
In addition, Harper’s face was full of worry, so Stella was afraid that she was unable to bear hearing the truth.
After pondering momentarily, Stella said, “I still need to run more tests, and I intend to do those when she wakes up.”
Stella’s white lie temporarily appeased the worried Harper. “Thank you, Stella.”
“I have some things to take care of, so I’ll leave Taya with you for now. I’ll be back in a bit to check on her.”
Harper nodded. After Stella left, she tucked Taya in.
Then she sat in front of the hospital bed and held Taya’s hand. Her eyes were full of pity as she stared at her pale face.
“I don’t know what I’ll do if I lose you…
Taya seemed to have heard someone whispering in her ear.
It sounded hazy. She wanted to know what they were saying, but everything felt so far away.
After a while, the voice in her ear gradually became clearer…
“Taya, you’ve been in a coma for three days. When will you wake up?”
This time, she heard it clearly. It was Harper’s voice.
When she opened her eyes, she found that her vision was blurred.
She could only vaguely see Harper’s outline, but not her facial features.
She wanted to touch her friend’s cheek but was too weak to raise her hand.
Only then did she realize what kind of situation she was in. She probably wouldn’t live for long…
“Harper!”
When Harper heard Taya’s weak voice, she quickly put down the towel and grabbed her hand.
“Taya! You’re finally awake! How do you feel?!”
Taya shook her head gently and couldn’t say anything else. She could only hold on to Harper’s hand.
Taya’s silent action made Harper’s frightened heart slowly calm down.
Harper had been terrified that Taya would never wake up.
Harper raised her red and swollen eyes and stared at Taya’s face. “What’s wrong with you?”
Taya’s slender and straight legs had become very swollen over the past three days.
Harper had asked Stella for a reason, but she was unwilling to tell her, so she had to search online.
It said it was a terminal heart failure symptom, but Harper refused to believe it. She wanted to hear it from Taya herself.
Hearing her question, Taya knew that Harper had already guessed it.
She wanted to find the right time to tell Harper, but things didn’t go as she’d planned, thanks to Griffon.
When she thought of him, she felt pain all over her body.
Taya never expected he would hit her the way he did.
That slap directly took away her last bit of good time with Harper.
At this point, it was useless for her to hide it anymore.
She looked toward Harper in a daze.
“Harper, I’ll be your sister in the next life, okay…”
As soon as she said that, Harper burst into tears.
“What nonsense are you talking about? If you want to be my sister, do it this life. What afterlife?”
“Harper, I… have advanced heart failure. I don’t have much time left…”
It took her a lot of effort to squeeze her palm as if she wanted to comfort her.
However, Harper was on the verge of collapse. Hot tears fell on the back of her hand, and she couldn’t bear to speak again.
Harper choked with sobs and coughed again and again. Taya wanted to help her ma*sage her back, but she had no strength and could only look at her.
“Harper … don’t cry. How can I leave with peace of mind when you are like this…”
“Then don’t go!”
Harper grabbed her hand and said stubbornly, “I’ll go find Stella. Her medical skills are so excellent that she will definitely save you!”
Taya gently touched her palm with her thumb and said, “There’s nothing Stella can do about it. Let’s not make things difficult for her, okay?”
Harper cried and shook her head. “No, there must be a way. We need to get you a new heart!”
Taya smiled and said, “Harper, it’s too late… We always knew this day would come, that you would outlive me.”
Harper stood up and started pacing and wringing.
