Jackson seemed to understand why Taya said what she did.
It turned out that her feelings for him and the way she thought about him never changed. She was
going to die soon, and she was still thinking about him.
But he thought she was cruel to him because she had Fallen in love with Griffon.
A deep sense of guilt swallowed him, and his wolf Pawed at him.
Sensing his helplessness, Taya squeezed his hand again. “Silas, can you go back?”
Jackson touched her pale face and said softly, “No Matter what you say this time, I won’t leave. I want to stay by your side forever…”
The word “forever” was too heavy for her to bear, but she didn’t want to hurt him.
She took a deep breath of oxygen to ease the oppressive feeling. “I don’t have the strength to speak. Can I sleep for a while?”
Jackson’s heart ached. He nodded. “Okay, go to sleep. I’ll stay by your side, okay?”
She nodded in response and closed her eyes.
Jackson sat motionlessly by the bed, staring at her pale face.
After she had fallen asleep completely, he took out his phone and called Eric.
Eric, entangled with Stella in the office, was stunned when he saw Jackson’s call.
After sending Jackson a message last time to explain, Jackson hasn’t spoken to him again. Now that Jackson had taken the initiative to approach him, Eric was a little happy.
Eric immediately let go of Stella and picked up the call. “Hello, Jackson. What can I do for you?”
“Can you cure heart failure?”.
When Eric heard his question, he knew who he was referring to. “Do you have a donor?”
Feeling powerless, Jackson loosened his clenched fists. “No…”
Eric pondered momentarily before replying solemnly, “Without a donor, even if an immortal were to come, they wouldn’t be able to save her. The only answer would be to try to turn her, and that’s never worked for others. Forgive me for being powerless.”
Jackson replied in a resigned tone. “I understand.” He hung up the phone and looked back at the bed.
He’d heard rumors of shifters being able to turn humans. But they were just that. Rumors and legends, likely made up by desperate humans.
He heaved a sigh and sunk back into his chair, watching Taya sleep.
Harper had found a cool washcloth, but she was not rushing to return to Taya since she knew Jackson was there.
She leaned against the wall in a daze. Her phone vibrated several times, but she ignored the calls and wouldn’t answer.
It wasn’t until she received a text message that she took it out to look.
It was from Damian. He sent a message when he saw that she didn’t answer the phone.
He asked her when she would return tonight.
If he cared about her, he should have asked her why she went to the hospital instead of asking when she would return tonight.
He was obviously going to do something with Michelle-likely in Harper’s own bed-but was worried that Harper would suddenly come back.
Harper was disgusted with him from the bottom of her heart.
Thinking of the possible situations in the future, she resisted the urge to vomit and replied, “I will stay somewhere else tonight and come back tomorrow.”
After sending the message, she put the phone into her pocket, and her wolf gave her an idea.
She would install a nanny cam when she got back tomorrow. If she could get the adulterous couple on video, she would have proof of how awful they were. She could then get out of the mating and ruin Damian and Michelle in the process.
Harper returned to the ward with the Washcloth. Her face darkened slightly when she saw that Jackson sat motionless beside the hospital bed. She thought for sure, Taya would have sent him away by now.
“You can leave now. I’ve got her.”
Jackson’s eyes were fixed on Taya’s face. He didn’t look back or respond, as if he was determined to stay here.
Seeing him like this, Harper sighed deeply, she handed the washcloth to him.
“If you would rather not leave, you can help wipe her forehead and cool her down.”
Jackson took the towel, carefully avoided the wound on Taya’s forehead, and gently wiped her cheek.
“Why does she have a wound on her head?”
“She had an accident.”
Harper still wasn’t sure about Jackson and his intentions. Although he didn’t know much about it, he was indirectly involved in Taya’s heart failure, and Harper couldn’t put that out of her mind.
Moreover, Harper felt that even if she told Jackson the truth, he would not be able to defeat the Knight pack. There was no need to get him involved.
Griffon was the strongest Alpha in the Midwest, and now, Jackson was even working for him, thanks to winning the project bid.
Harper would avenge Taya herself sooner or later. As Stella said, she would plan and take her revenge slowly…
One day, she would make Shelly, Tara, and Griffon learn what happened to bullies.
