Christopher, who was concentrating on researching the transmitter, heard his phone ringing. He took off his gloves and retrieved his phone from his overalls.
Seeing that it was Griffon, Christopher quickly walked outside and answered the phone. “Seriously, Griffon? You finally turned on your phone. Do you have any idea how much of a mess the Knight pack is in because of Preston? We’re all going crazy.
Before Christopher could finish, he was interrupted by Griffon’ cold voice. “Come to Washington immediately and take over the NASA’s project.”
Christopher thought he had misheard at first. After a few moments, he asked, “What happened?”
He was the original project leader for the NASA. Now that the project was returned to him, a major accident must have happened in us No way. Did Preston sell the Knight pack off? Christopher didn’t get an explanation from Griffon, only an order. “Come here immediately.”
Right after, Griffon hung up the phone and looked up at Zack. He couldn’t wait for even a moment. He wanted to see Taya immediately.
Zack gave an affirmative response before ordering the ser vants to help Griffon pack his things as he contacted a charter airline.
After turning on his work phone, messages kept coming in. Griffon frowned and casually took out his phone to look at them.
There was a message sent to him by Stella four months ago, and Griffon was confused at the sight of it. What did she mean that there was no one taking care of Taya?
Wasn’t Silas there to take care of her? He left because he saw Silas. Didn’t Silas take care of her?
Griffon was a little puzzled and called Stella, Before that, at the door of the hospital dean’s office, US… Holding a bouquet of flowers, Stella smiled and looked at the handsome Stella in front of her.
“Thank you for the flowers, Mr. Henry. I’m having a wonderful birthday.”
When Henry saw Stella’s soft smile, he was a little shy and scratched the back of his head. Then… can I ask you out again next time?”
Stella’s hands, which were holding the flowers, froze for a moment. A little embarra*sed, she replied, “I really like the birthday party you and the other doctors arranged for me, but I don’t think I’ll go on a date with you alone.”
Henry’s flushed face sank a little, and there was a trace of disappointment in his dark, clear eyes. “Why?” Stella lowered her head. She hesitated for a moment before being honest with Henry. “You’re three years younger than me. You’re young enough to be my younger brother. Not to mention… I’m not pure and I don’t have a uterus, so I won’t be able to have pups in the future. I wouldn’t be a good match for you.”
When Henry heard that, there was no look of disgust in his eyes. instead, he breathed a sigh of relief. “I don’t care about all that, Ms. Cobb. As long as you don’t hate me…”
Stella looked at the man in front of her, who was a head taller than her and had a clean, tidy appearance. She was slightly moved by his words.
This was the first man who pursued her who didn’t end up disliking her after finding out that she didn’t have a uterus. His heartwarming answer made her eyes water.
Despite that, it only took a moment for Stella to set the barrier between them “At my age, I date to matn
We Shorey background is prominent, though, and you come from a pack of scholars. Packs like yours place great importance on having heirs You should be more considerate toward your park.
Even though she was obviously refusing him, Henry still refused to give up and shook his head. “It’s because I am from a family of scholars that they will respect my choice more. Please give me a chance to pursue you, Ms. Cobb.”When Stella came to give a lecture at their medical school, Henry fell in love with her at first sight. in order to be a worthy man for her, he did all he could to study medicine. Recently, he had made some achievements in the medical field, which was why he dared to confess his love to her.
Even so, he kept getting rejected by Stella, and he didn’t know why. It turned out that she had been hurt before. As for what happened, Henry knew without even having to ask. It was related to her feelings.
That was nothing to Henry, though. He liked her for who she was.
Therefore, no matter what kind of past she had, he would accept her as who she was…Stella was about to reject Henry once again when an arm wrapped around her waist.
“You’re quite open-minded, Mr. Henry. You’re actually like a woman who had been following around with.”
Stella’s face turned pale when she heard the word “fooling around”. The hatred in her heart made her push Eric away.
Eric’s face darkened. Even so, he pretended not to care and raised his hand to grab Stella’s chin.
“Are you afraid that I will say too much about what we’ve done in bed in front of Mr. Henry? Is that why you’re pushing me away?” he taunted.
Stella clenched her fists. She raised her gaze, concealing the rage and hatred deep in her eyes, and looked at Eric.
“Are you jealous?” she asked. Humph!” Eric sneered. “Do you think a used wh*re like you is worth getting jealous over?”
As soon as he said that, Henry, who was beside him, punched him aggressively.
“Mr. Sinclair, I was a fool to think you were an outstanding representative of the medical field. I didn’t expect you to be such a
person under that hypocritical mask!” he yelled.
Henry did not hold back on that punch. When it landed on Eric’s face, Eric’s head tilted and the corner of his mouth began to bleed.
After running his tongue against the inner side of his right cheek, he grabbed Henry by the collar. He pushed him against the wall before violently smashing his face with his fist.
Eric kept a cold face. Without saying a word, he aimed punch after punch at Henry’s clean and handsome face. He was going to beat him to death.
He wasn’t doing this in retaliation. It was because Henry touched his woman, making him feel that Henry deserved to die.
When Stella saw that Henry was getting beaten up like that, she rushed over angrily and slapped Eric hard. Enough!”
The man paused as he raised his eyes to look at Stella in disbelief.
However, she wasn’t even looking at him. She brushed his hand away which was holding Henry’s collar and helped Henry to the ward.
Eric stood there, dumbfounded. His dark eyes were fixed on Stella’s back who didn’t even care to look back at him.
The inexplicable fury he felt irritated him. He charged forward and grabbed Stella’s hand.
“Can’t you tell that he was the one who started it first?” ending a stranger instead of checking on me first?” he demanded.
Stella ignored him. She shoved him away and went to support Henry again, leaving Eric fly into a rage.
He raised his foot and kicked them. After knocking the unsuspecting two people to the ground, Eric slowly squatted down.
With his hands, he grabbed Stella’s neck. “Are you empathizing with this coward?”
Even while being treated roughly, Stella seemed to be used to it. Instead of responding, she smirked. “So what if I am?”
Eric’s chest tightened upon hearing that, as if vines were tightly wound around it. The pain suffocated him. “Didn’t you say that you would always love me?”
Stella smiled slightly, with an intentional look of disappointment. “I asked you before, and you said you wouldn’t mate me, so why should I love you forever?”
Eric stared into her eyes. After seeing the disappointment in them, Eric became a little flustered. “Give me some time, I’ll deal with the Sinclair pack, and I’II…”
He didn’t say he would mate her, but Stella understood that he was ready to do so right then. It Was impossible for the Sinclair pack to agree to their relationship. He couldn’t mate her, and she wouldn’t mate him, either.
People said that the best revenge was not to make someone lose everything, but to give something to them and take it away.
The despair of not being able to get something he loved would kill him on the inside. He would be depressed for the rest of his life, and he would never be able to move on from it…
