When Henry got up from the ground to see that Stella was suffering again, he rushed towards Eric with his clenched fist.
Yet, before the fist could even get near to the face, he was kicked to the ground by Eric, who had a black-belt in Taekwondo.
Eric’s condescending gaze fell on Henry. “Are you even worthy of stealing my woman?”
After his voice died away, he raised his foot to give Henry fierce kicks one after the other, all the while clasping onto Stella’s hand.
“How dare you confess your love to my woman. You’re dead meat!”
When the rest of the doctors and nurses saw Dr. Sinclair, known as the genius, beating another doctor up in the hospital, they intended to step forward to help. However, they were surrounded by the bodyguards led by Eric…
Using his heavy leather boots, Eric’s every kick landed precisely on the crucial points, rendering Henry at a loss of getting back up
with each and every deadly kick…
When Stella saw Henry vomiting blood from the impact, she shook in rage. She resolutely opened her mouth to sink her teeth
into Eric’s arm.
With all her strength, she bit him hard until the man felt the pain and was forced to stop…
Eric’s fuming, bloodthirsty eyes locked on Stella briefly before he bent over to carry her up in his arms.
Seeing that he was going to take her away by force, Stella desperately resisted with her teeth gnashed, “Eric, let me down, or we’ll die together!”
Eric was clearly out of it. Not only did he not let go, but lowered his head and kissed Stella. “It’s better to die together than to see you with other men!”
Stella tried his best to push Eric away by biting back before struggling to get back down, but to no avail when she was carried
by Eric on his shoulder.
Thrown over Eric’s shoulder, Stella, who resisted with all her might yet failed to harm Eric even the slightest, looked in the direction of
the office.
Seeing Stella’s tearful eyes full of pleading for help, Taya plucked up the courage to run over to stop Eric.
“Dr. Sinclair, you disregard Stella’s wishes and forcibly take her away, it’ll only backfire when Stella hates you even more…”
Eric had hurt Stella too deeply, so using his Method to Wilsher back would have only counterproductive effects.
Yet, it was obvious that Eric couldn’t understand. Without showing Taya any mercy, he coldly rebuked, “It’s none of your business.”
Another glance at Stella shaking in rage, failing to say a single word, Taya continued persuading, “Dr. Sinclair, Stella is…”
The irked Eric raised his foot to kick Taya away, regardless of whether she was innocent. Go away!”
Taya, being kicked to the ground, felt a pang of pain in her chest. The suffocating sensation left her face deathly pale.
Seeing that she had inflicted Taya, the seething Stella swung her fists at Eric, resignedly pounding him. Eric, I’ll hate you forever!”
Unbothered, Eric carried her away.
To his surprise, Taya firmly grasped his feet as her cold glare fixed on him. “Eric, put Stella down, and I’ll let everything slide.”
Eric couldn’t help sneering when he heard her. “Just because you’ve h o oked up with Griffon, you think you could speak to me in
such a tone?”
Before Taya could shake her head, she heard Eric’s mocking laugh
over her head.
“You have no right to say that because you’re no better than me!”
“At the very least, I won’t abandon the man who has taken care of me for more than 20 years after I’m acquainted with the wealthy!”
Taya’s heart trembled. In the empty corridor, a gush of breeze brushed over, lifting the short hair at the collarbone to cover her almost transparent pale face.
Seeing her turn pale with shame, Eric felt the joy of standing up for his friend! As if ethically noble, he lowered his head to give disdain to Taya,
who failed to get back up on her feet.
“Do you know what kind of life Silas has lived in Wolverly Capital these past few months?”
“As for you, you’re all lovey-dovey with Griffon and have nothing to worry about getting back with him. Don’t you think you’ve let Silas down?”
Taya’s fingers gripping Eric’s trousers shuddered non-stop, her pale face giving away the dazed look.
Slowly, she raised her head and looked at Eric, who had contempt written all over his face. “What… What happened to him?”
As he held Stella pounding on him down, Eric gave a cold snort.
“You don’t deserve to know!”
He kicked away Taya’s clinging hand, and with Stella on his shoulders, hurried toward the elevator.
The look of Taya helplessly lying on the ground flared guilt in Stella’s heart.
She feared that with a few words of provocation from Eric, Taya might choose to leave Alpha Knight again.
The two of them have come so far with great difficulty, so how would she ever allow herself to incite their parting?
Once the thought crossed her mind, Stella’s eyes filled with instant hatred. “Eric, I’ll make sure you regret it for the rest of your
life!”
Hearing so, Eric’s hand that was pressing onto her from behind shuddered. He rem not to say a wrapped his arms more tightly around her.
return, Stella, I just want to take you home, back to Wolverly Capital, back to my side. Even if I might regret my choice for the rest of my life, it doesn’t matter as long as you’re back to me,” he thought. As the elevator door slid to a close, Stella watched as Taya supported herself to get back up from the ground, intending to make the final rush over.
Her heart warmed, and tears welled in her eyes. “Taya, don’t worry, I’ll be back safely, wait for me.”
After the elevator door closed shut, the bodyguards retreated in a flash. Henry was carried into the emergency room, while a kind
nurse inquired Taya if she was fine.
Taya shook her head, resisting the pain in her chest to grab the railing of the corridor as she sta ggered toward the floor-to-ceiling
windows in unsteady footsteps.
Downstairs, after Eric carried Stella into the car, he fastened her seatbelt, holding back his anger even if Stella had slapped him in
the face.
At the sight of the scene, Taya’s expression fell into a trance.
Emotions of sorrow and joy intertwined, overlapping and stirring her heart.
She turned around and walked into the bathroom to turn on the tap and rinse her face with cold water before slowly, gazing at her reflection in the mirror.
“Do you know what kind of life Silas has lived in Wolverly Capital these past few months?”
The words were like a deadly poison, playing in a loop in her ears, leaving her heart in restlessness.
With trembling fingers, Taya grabbed a few pieces of tissue and wiped off the water stains on her face before hurrying to leave the hospital.
The bodyguards waiting downstairs panicked at the sight of Taya’s bloodless face as she exited the elevator.
“Ms. Palmer, what’s the matter?”
The dazed Taya looked up at the leader of the bodyguards to see that his face was full of worry and fear, so she hurriedly shook her head at him.
“I’m fine.”
She had felt that it was just too much for her to crash into the hospital with a whole lot of bodyguards, so she had told them to stay waiting for her.
Who knew she would run into the mad Eric, but fortunately, he had done was to get rid of her.
Otherwise, the transplanted wolf spirit might not be able to bear the impact…
The bodyguard breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her words. “Ms. Palmer, where should we go now?”
Taya took out the car keys and handed them to the bodyguard. Take me home.” in Harper’s villa, Taya entered the study before picking up the measuring ruler and pen.
Her initial plan was to concentrate on completing the drawing she took forever to finish, but as she drew on, more mistakes she
made, including messing up the structure…
In irritation, she threw the pen aside and picked up the phone to tap on her contacts, but when she scrolled up to Silas, her fingers
paused.
She wanted to muster the courage for a phone call to ask about how he was doing, but her mind flashed with Sil s’s words that
they were to never keep in contact again.
It was when she stared at the name in a daze that three texts popped up… ever bother you again.”
The second sentence was, “I’m living a good life, and I’m about to mate Ms. Cooke.”
The third sentence was, “I wish you happiness.” Seeing the three texts, Taya’s eyes grew red-rimmed. Clutching the phone in hand, she typed her reply only after a long hesitation. “I’m sorry.”
“I wish you happiness too.”
In “I’m sorry”, it was to say that she had let go of Silas whom she loved since young… In “I wish you the same”, it meant to hope for her boy to stay alive and well…
