When the man in Wolverly Capital received the news, his pale face gradually lost its color.
Although the face wasn’t revealed, the woman’s figure from the back was imprinted in his bones, never to be forgotten.
It was most likely that he would soon, very soon…receive the news of their mating…
The man confined to a wheelchair in the courtyard looked up at the blue sky and white clouds beyond the fence.
It was so warm with scorching sunlight, but why did he feel so cold…
The coldness resembled vines that wrapped around him, leaving him restless all night…Zoey and Nora behind him exchanged glances before taking a blanket to cover his lap.
“Mr. Sterling, shall we go looking for her?” Hearing so, he raised the corners of his gentle lips to look at them, looking all youthful.
“No one is allowed to disturb her… in his life, no one was allowed to give her the slightest news about whether he was alive or dead, so let her be well with the man she loved.
Taya woke up from sleep, a little dazed, to see Griffon sitting on the head of the bed, rubbing his temple with one hand.
The trance faded away as she worriedly asked, “Didn’t you take the medicine for migraine on time every day? Why does it still hurt so much?”
Hearing her voice, Griffon lowered his hand and turned to touch her face. “It hurts occasionally, it’s normal, don’t worry.”
Sensing his face pale from the pain, Taya sat up straight, raised her hands, and gently ma*saged his temples.
Griffon looked at the woman whose eyes only reflected his figure. Enduring the pain, he said, “Taya, I’ll be visiting Washington for a few days on a business trip. After ten days, I’ll pick you up so that we’ll head over to Finland.”
Taya was certain that he would be proposing in Finland. A sizzle of joy pri cked in her heart, but…
Taya’s brows drew to a light frown. “Aren’t the projects at the NASA handed over to Christopher? Why do you still have to go there on a business trip?” sness, he stretched out his hand and hugged the dainty woman tightly in his arms. “I’m sorry, but there are many things that need to be dealt with.” Taya shook her head. “What’s there to be sorry for with work? Go ahead. I happen to have something to work on too…”
She was going to give him a blueprint for the reconstruction of the Knight pack headquarters on the day of his proposal, so she wouldn’t be able to spend much time with him in the next few days…
Griffon raised a hand up to the back of Taya’s head and buried her in his arms, his eyes welling up with tears.
Hopefully, everything would go as he wished. After sending Griffon to the airport, Taya went to the construction site at the northern part of the city under the protection of a group of bodyguards.
Wearing a construction site helmet, she surveyed the site under the lead of the main person-in-charge from the Knight pack before returning to the car to sort out the data received.
The scale of the Knight pack’s project was multiple times larger than the other projects from Neil, requiring a huge amount of work
and more effort.
Yet, it didn’t matter. Taya was not one to be afraid of challenges. As long as she concentrated on studying the plan and memorizing the measurement data, she could come up with a design.
After busying herself with the drawings for eight consecutive days, she received a phone call from Stella on the morning of the ninth day, after a video call with Griffon…
“Taya, please come to the hospital. Let’s do an examination.” While drawing with a pen and a measuring ruler, Taya asked, puzzled, “What examination?”
Stella arched the corners of her lips to a meaningful smile. “You’ll know when you’re here.”
Taya had no choice but to put the tools aside and change into a new set of clean, casual clothing before driving all the way to the hospital.
Upon hurrying to the director’s room, she smiled knowingly seeing Stella as she raised her hand to knock on the door. “Dr. Cobb, I’m here.”
Stella, who concentrated on a patient’s case, got to her feet seeing Taya’s arrival. She walked up to Taya and urged, “Come
with me to the gynecology department.”
Hearing the word gynecology, Taya came to an instant realization radiance in embarra*sment.
“Ah, you… how did you know?”
She planned to test it out with a pregnancy kit. Who would have known that Stella knew about it? Stella’s hands withdrew from the pockets of her coat to poke
Taya’s cheeks. “You’re the most cooperative patient ever. Awesome!”
Taya tested it out as she was told to. The key point was that Alpha Knight was equally active in researching and knowing about the fact that the pregnancy test would reveal its results in 8 to 11 days.
Covering her face, Taya followed Stella to the gynecology department. After a series of examinations, Stella led her back to
the director’s room to wait for the report.
Griffon, far away in Washington, was even more anxious than they were. His phone calls bombarded their phones non-stop before Stella decided not to hang up the call and turn on the speaker…
Taya, who sat on the sofa clutching a pillow, buried her head in it, so ashamed that she dared not even look at Stella.
Fortunately, the nurse delivered the report in no time. After Stella took it over, and with a glance at it, the anticipation in her eyes gradually faded.
From the look on Stella’s face, Taya could tell that she was not pregnant. Faint disappointment surged in her heart. It seemed that it was a holy grail for her to get pregnant…
Stella placed the report aside and came up to Taya, comforting her, “The time’s probably just too short, and the results can’t tell for now, or it could be that you have to continue the consumption of the medicine. Wait a little longer. Don’t worry, don’t get anxious over this, and don’t be disheartened…”
Hearing Stella’s words, Griffon’ heart seemed to be strangled by a ma*sive hand. It ached to the point of him being not able to breathe. He was the cause of her infertility.
With his hands gripping the phone, he resisted the pain and rea*sured Taya, “I only want you, not the pup.”
Taya forced a smile, responding in a soft voice, “I know…”
He gave his hurting temples a firm rub before anxiously adding, “No matter what, you must mate me.”
Sensing his uneasiness, Taya withdrew her low spirits to comfort him in a soft voice, “All right, don’t you worry about it.”
Griffon raised his bloodshot eyes to look at the director who signaled for him to hang up the phone, and frowned, “Wait for me.”
After Taya obediently replied with another hum, he ended the call… Putting the phone to one side, Stella wanted to comfort Taya more
when there was a sudden commotion outside the door…
Henry, in a neat suit and high spirits, made his way up to Stella amidst the cheering of nurses and doctors with a bouquet of roses in hand.
He came to one knee before Stella, his eyes sparkling with sincerity. Stella, I like you. Would you like to be my girlfriend?”
As soon as he uttered the words, cheering from the crowd watching the excitement broke out in an uproar…
“Ms. Cobb, do it, he has a secret crush on you for a long time!”
“That’s right, you’re the wallpaper on the computer screen in his office!”
“That’s right, Ms. Cobb, you’ve gotten Mr. Henry’s attention since you were both in school!” Ms. Cobb, say yes, say yes!”
Stella lowered her head to land her eyes on the bouquet of red roses, then at Henry, as if she hadn’t expected him to confess his love in public.
The hands in the pockets of the coat fiddled with the fingertips, but she failed to muster the courage to accept the bouquet of roses…
Stella had never been in a relationship, and nor had she ever been confessed to. It was the first time, so she was a little nervous and
at a loss.
Instead of urging her, the keen Henry sensed her hesitation and was kind enough to say, “It’s okay to reject me, don’t be afraid.”
He heard that Stella had never been loved the proper way, and nor had anyone confessed his love boldly.
It was the first confession of his love, and infinitely more to come…
He wasn’t greedy in expecting success in just one try. All he hoped was that he could show her a little more love by doing so.
Noticing Henry’s sincerity, Stella stretched out her hand from her coat, and was about to accept the bouquet of roses when a figure rushed over.
Eric snatched the bouquet of red roses and flung them to the ground. After trampling the flowers, he went forward and grabbed Stella’s wrist.
“Come with me!” Stella was taken aback by Eric’s sudden appearance. “The heck!”
She tried her best to push Eric away, but she couldn’t resist the man’s strength and had no choice but to be dragged out the door.
