Silas’s hand, which was holding the fork, paused. He stared blankly at Taya, and his eyes were full of disbelief. After hanging up the call from Amon, she explained to him. oma, I heard about your “Silas, after I woke up from my death but didn’t believe it. So I wanted to come back to the country to confirm whether it was true or not.” “However, Amon was afraid that I would never come back with my sister’s wolf spirit, so he asked me to mate him. Otherwise, I was not allowed to return home, so I agreed.
But I mated him in the name of my sister, Rosalie. I have no feelings for him.” After hearing this, the shock in Silas’s eyes gradually turned into distress. “Taya, I’m sorry. I was irrational and let you be threatened like this.” Taya shook her head as if she could see everything clearly, “Even if I don’t agree to mate him, he will still have control over me because of my sister’s wolf spirit.” Silas frowned. “Taya, Amon isn’t a good person. You’ll get hurt if you stay with him.” Taya was well aware of this. “I know he’s not a good person, so I’ll find a way to beg him to let me go.” Hearing that she was going to beg another man, Silas’s face darkened.
If he was still the Alpha of the Sterling pack, he could still compete with Amon and save Taya from her predicament. But now he was nothing, just an injured wolf sitting in a wheelchair, unable to heal from his gunshot wound. He couldn’t help her. Instead, he needed her to take care of him. He suddenly thought of Griffon, the man who now held an unprecedented amount of power that no one could compare to. If he intervened, he could certainly help Taya. He clenched his fists and hesitated for a moment before speaking to Taya, “Taya, Griffon is now the Alpha of the Knight pack and the Leiner pack, as well as a shareholder of the Sterling pack. The Sterling pack cannot be his opponent as long as he intervenes…” Taya paused for a moment and interrupted him. “Silas, are you asking me to go to Griffon?” Silas was silent for a long time before his Adam’s apple bobbed. “Only he can deal with Amon.” Taya raised her clear and bright eyes and looked at him quietly. “Silas, the relationship between him and me is over since he broke up with me. I won’t go to him again.” Silas also looked at her as if trying to read the emotions in her eyes, but she was very calm at this moment. While they were silent, Nora’s voice suddenly came from outside the door. “Mr. Johnson, Ms. Cobb is here.” Stella had just gotten off work from the hospital. She didn’t even have time to take off her work clothes before carrying the medicine cabinet to do a routine check-up for Jackson. Originally, the examination time was set for the day after tomorrow, but she was going to attend a medical conference abroad tomorrow, so she came in advance.
She nodded to Nora with a smile, crossed the living room, and walked into the dining room. Just as she was about to greet Jackson, she saw the person sitting next to him. She suddenly stood still, and the medicine cabinet in her hand fell to the ground. She opened her eyes wide in disbelief and stared at Taya in a daze. She opened her red lips and wanted to say something, but no words came out. Taya stood up, walked up to her with a smile, and called out to her, “Stella, long time no see.” Only then did Stella come back to her senses and ask in disbelief, “Are you… Taya?” The corners of Taya’s mouth curled into a smile as she nodded. “I’m Taya.” Only after getting a positive answer did she dare to believe that the person in front of her was real. She took Taya’s hand, looked her up and down, and asked in shock, “Didn’t you already… how did it happen?” After briefly telling her how she survived, Taya said gratefully, “Stella, thank you for taking care of me back then.” Stella had given her medicine and saved her life. Before she died, she had tried her best to relieve her pain with the best medicine.
She would never forget this kindness. She thought if Stella needed any help, she would do her best to help her in the future. Seeing that she was thanking her, Stella felt even more guilty. She still remembered what had happened back then. But in front of Jackson, even if there were a lot of things she wanted to tell her, she was not in a hurry to speak. After a brief chat with Taya, she went to do a leg check-up on Jackson, mainly to check the atrophy. He had nerve damage in his legs, and it was difficult for him to stand up again. His main priority now was to prevent his legs from a trophying much. After the examination, Taya couldn’t wait to ask, “Stella, how’s his leg? When can he stand up?” When Stella was about to tell the truth, the person in the wheelchair clenched one hand into a fist, pretended to cough, and motioned her with his eyes not to tell the truth. Stella frowned. She didn’t understand why Jackson would hide it from Taya. After hesitating for a moment, she said to Taya, “You can ask him.” She didn’t want to hide someone’s illness anymore. If she encountered such a thing in the future, she would leave it tothe patient. Taya looked back at Silas and saw that he was avoiding her gaze, so she knew that he was lying to her. She didn’t expose Silas and just looked at Stella, asking, “Stella, can his legs still be cured?” Stella still looked at Jackson. It was not until he nodded that she told Taya the truth. “I can’t cure him.” The cruel answer made Taya’s face turn pale, and the guilt in her heart became heavier. Seeing her like this, Silas quickly comforted her. “Taya, don’t worry. I’m used to sitting in a wheelchair. It’s fine.” Hearing this, Taya took a deep breath as if she had made up her mind. She promised him, “Silas, no matter how long you sit in a wheelchair, I will stay by your side and take care of you for the rest of my life.” When Stella heard this promise, she frowned slightly. If Ms. Palmer had to spend the rest of her life taking care of Silas, what about Alpha Knight? Silas was stunned for a moment. His expression was complicated, but he didn’t know how to face it. He knew in his heart that her desire to take care of him was just out of guilt towards him. He knew that guilt was not equal to love, but he was selfish and wanted to keep her by his side. This ambivalence trapped him, making him once again surrounded by darkness, fall into an endless black hole, unable to extricate himself. In the end, he loosened his clenched fists and chose not to say a word. He had loved her for so many years, so let him be selfish once. Taya did not notice the change in his mood.
She picked up her phone and smiled at him. “Silas, before that, I have to deal with someone. When I’m done, I’ll bring Harper to see you.” After saying that, she planned to go back and negotiate with Amon. Seeing that she was about to leave, Stella quickly followed her with the medicine cabinet. After the two of them walked out of the villa side by side, Taya said to her, “Stella, I’ll take a taxi back. I’ll see you at the hospital when I’m free.” Stella held down her hand that was holding the phone and said with a smile, “Taya, please take my car. I’ll send you back.” Taya seemed to know what she would say after she got into her car.
She quickly shook her head and refused, “No, I’d better take a taxi.” Seeing that she insisted, Stella did not insist. Instead, she asked softly, “Can you listen to me for a few words?” After ordering a taxi, Taya looked up at Stella and said, “If it has something to do with Griffon, you’d better not say it. I don’t want to hear it.” Seeing that she was so resistant, Stella felt a little embarra*sed, but she still said cheekily, “In fact, Alpha Knight…” “Stella.” Taya interrupted her. “I’ve already made it clear to him. Don’t mention him again.”
