As Taya regained consciousness from her daze, she noticed that her surroundings were somewhat familiar.
There was a luxurious chandelier hanging overhead, and the decor was in a French
style. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows were rows of Aronland-style houses, as well as an endless expanse of sea…
This was… Aronland!
It was Amon and Rosalie’s villa!
Taya’s heart sk ipped a beat, and she immediately tried to sit up in bed. However, her weakness and fatigue made her fall
She raised her fair hand, rubbed her stuffy forehead, and tried to recall how she came to Aronland, but couldn’t remember anything.
Amon, who was sitting in the living room, seemed to have heard some noise and got up from the sofa. He picked up the gla*s of water on the table and walked in after pushing the door.
When Taya, who was holding her forehead, saw Amon enter, her beautiful eyebrows suddenly frowned. “Did you drug me?”
She felt dizzy, unclear, and tired all over, and only after taking medication would she feel like this.
Amon didn’t avoid the topic at all. He pa*sed her the gla*s of water. “Every once in a while, I will give you some sleeping pills. How is it? Did you sleep well?”
As soon as Taya heard it, she felt that he was crazy. However, she didn’t have the energy to argue with him.
She forced herself to sit up from the bed, looked up with a pale and weak face, and asked, “How’s Griffon?”
She remembered when she returned to find Griffon, she was knocked out by Amon.
During the period, she may have woken up vaguely, but he kept giving her sleeping pills. Thus, she didn’t remember anything and didn’t know how long had pa*sed.
She was worried and wanted to return to Griffon’ side, to see his injuries, take care of him personally, and accompany him all the time.
Amon put down the gla*s of water and sat on the single sofa. He propped his chin and spoke casually, “He’s dead.”
Dead?
The blood on Taya’s face suddenly faded away completely, turning nearly transparent. “What are you talking about?”
she asked.
Seeing her like this, Amon raised an eyebrow in interest. “You heard me clearly, why do you need to ask again?”
Taya grabbed the bed sheet tightly, and her knuckles turned white with the force. Her
eyes, which had turned red, were filled with disbelief.
She stared at Amon, her fingernails digging into her palms. The pain of breaking the skin could not awaken her reason.
She went mad and screamed at Amon out of the blue, “Do you know what you are saying?” Griffon had promised to mate her. He promised to make it up to her for the rest of his life. How could he be dead?
Taya mustered all her strength, picked up the pillow from the bed, and fiercely smashed it towards Amon.
lying to me!
He wouldn’t just leave her like this! He hasn’t even heard her say “I love you” yet, and he hasn’t seen their pup, how could he die!
After being hit by several pillows, Amon’s nonchalant expression gradually became frustrated.
He grabbed Taya’s wrist. “That’s enough!”
But Taya had lost her mind. She didn’t think it was enough, so she picked up the gla*s on the bedside table and smashed it on his
head.
Although he could endure the mixed sleeping pills in the water pouring over his head, the broken gla*s hitting his forehead made Amon furious. With a stern expression on his face, he stood up and grabbed Taya by the neck, pushing her hard against the bed.
His cold eyes were fixed on Taya’s pale face, devoid of any emotion, only possessiveness.
“For the sake of your sister’s wolf-spirit, I can tolerate your nonsense once, but there won’t be another time.”
“If you dare to lay a hand on me again, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
After he finished warning her, he used his other hand to pat Taya’s lifeless face.
Listen carefully. Griffon Knight suffered serious injuries and he didn’t make it. He has already pa*sed.”
“I advise you to give up dreaming of returning to him, because he’s gone. Stay obediently with me in Aronland!”
The clear and powerful voice made Taya, who was struggling and resisting frantically, slowly calm down.
She looked at Amon with a pair of incredulous eyes, as if trying to distinguish truth from his eyes, but she couldn’t see anything.
“It’s impossible…”
Taya shook her head, and tears of crystal-clear, black eyes rolled down drop by drop.
She was saying it was impossible, but the images in her mind were all of Griffon being hit on the head with an iron rod and stabbed with a knife.
Who could survive such serious injuries…?
The expression in Taya’s eyes gradually shifted from disbelief to emptiness.
She looked at Amon with a hollow gaze, unable to say anything, only hoping he would say something like…
“Taya, I only pretended to deceive you because I wanted to have your sister’s wolf-spirit…”
However, not only did Amon not give her any hope, he also cut off all her excuses and ways back.
You don’t know yet, do you? Griffon had a brain disease, an intracranial tumor.”
The blood on Amon’s forehead splattered on Taya’s pale forehead, like a flower, gradually spreading out.
She didn’t even blink, staring lifelessly at Amon like a puppet, motionless and silent.
“Do you think he could survive after being hit several times while suffering from the illness?”
Amon’s voice, completely indifferent to the life and death of others, sounded like an ancient clock striking at her ears, cruel and deadly.
Taya clenched the sheet under her body, and the chill slowly crawled up her body from head to toe, making her shiver uncontrollably.
“I won’t believe a word you say…”
It was just a migraine he had mentioned, how could it be a tumor? Amon must be lying to her.
“Don’t believe me?”
Amon’s eyebrows lifted, and he sneered.
“You can go and check where your vast wealth came from.”
Taya looked at Amon blankly, not understanding what he was talking about.
Amon’s smile disappeared, and he stared at her with an expressionless face.
“Griffon helped you regain your identity, so that he could transfer his a*sets to your name.’
“He had already made a will to pave the way for your future, and you still don’t believe it?”
Amon’s voice was low and cold, his words were ruthless.
Taya clutched the sheet tightly, trembling all over, feeling as if she was in an icy cave, making her feel extremely cold.
“It’s impossible!”
“He helped me restore my identity so that I could design the headquarters of the Knight pack in my own name!”
“He transferred the a*sets to me because he was afraid I would feel unworthy of him, and that’s why he gave me everything he had!”
“He can’t be dead!”
“Griffon can’t be dead!”
Taya screamed one after another, as if she was making a final struggle before collapsing.
Amon didn’t respond to her words, just looked at her indifferently, as she was in a state of rage…
The cold and indifferent gaze gradually filled her with despair.
Amidst her chaotic and numb thoughts, she suddenly remembered what Griffon had said when he sent her a photo.
“Taya, don’t delete it, keep it as a memory…”
Few years ago, when she knew that she didn’t have much time left, she too wanted to leave a photo for him as a keepsake.
Could it be… that he really left like this?
He promised her a lifetime together, how could he just leave? From disbelief to breakdown, it only took a
few seconds for Taya.
She clutched her heart which was throbbing with pain, and cried hysterically.
Amon saw that she had believed him and let her go, standing up and taking out a handkerchief from his suit pocket.
He calmly wiped the blood off his forehead and gave a cold glance at Taya before turning around to leave.
“Amon…”
The word made Amon stop in his tracks. He turned around and glanced at the woman on the bed.
Taya, with tears blurring her eyes, struggled to get up from the bed, and knelt straight down in front of him.
“I beg you, let me go back…”
Whether alive or dead, she would stay by Griffon’ side.
She thought she didn’t love him that much before, but now she realized that she couldn’t live without him and couldn’t lose him.
If she lived the rest of her life without Griffon, her life would lose all its colors, and everything would turn to ashes. Her life Would be bleak and dull.
She was willing to accompany him to death, but before that, she begged to see him one last time, even if it was just his body.
There were too many regrets between them…
When she loved him, she thought he didn’t love her back, so she missed her chance.
When she didn’t want to love him, she thought they were not suitable, so they separated.
After few years of twists and turns, they finally got to his proposal, but he sacrificed
himself to save her…
Taya thought of him leaning against the wooden door, using his broad back to protect her, not letting her get hurt even a little bit.
Her heart ached so much that she couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think, and was paralyzed with pain…
She raised her trembling fingers, covering her chest, tears streaming down her face, and pleaded with Amon.
“Amon, for the sake of my sister, please let me go back and look for him…”
She really missed him, an unprecedented yearning that made her feel that death was better than living.
She thought that if they couldn’t be together in life, let them be together after death, at least she could accompany him
