Amon’s eyes fell on the petite figure. “You miss him that much?”
Taya didn’t respond. There was not even a trace of expression on her indifferent face, nor did she didn’t pay attention to the person behind her.
Amon wasn’t annoyed by her behavior. Crossing his legs, he tilted his head sideways and looked at her figure from behind. “Before this, I asked if you loved Griffon and you told me no. How did that change within a few months?”
As if knowing that she would respond in silence, Amon didn’t wait this time, so he replied to himself, “Because you were lying. Clearly, you loved him from the beginning, but you refused to admit it. Now that you’ve lost your chance, you still would go to the end of the earth with him. I just don’t get it…”
Like a go d, he continued to point out all of Taya’s flaws from a third person perspective. Finally, he asked with much curiosity, “But there’s one thing that I have been unable to figure out…”
Straightening his legs, he got up from the sofa again, and sat across the edge of the bed, straightening Taya’s body so that she faced him.
“I’ve looked into your relationship with
Griffon. He made you his secret lover for few years. When he was with you, he didn’t cherish you. And after the both of you separated, he left you with a big slap on the face, which probably took away a few years of your life. If he hurt you so much, why did you forgive him?”
If Griffon treated Taya so badly, why did she choose to forgive him? Why was she willing to sacrifice her life for him? And if so, why did Rosalie leave him forever?
Amon was puzzled, staring at those lifeless eyes, as if trying to pry out the answer he wanted…
However, Taya’s eyes were blank as she stared straight ahead, completely devoid of any strength or interest to solve his doubts.
In fact, Amon didn’t want her to clarify his doubts. All he wanted was to hear her say, It’s okay, I forgive you.” To pretend those words were coming out of Rosalie’s mouth instead.
But he knew very well in his heart that what he had done was far worse than Griffon’ behavior, and Rosalie would never forgive him…
A self-deprecating smile flickered across his face, and after laying Taya back on the bed, his eyes fell on the bruises across her arms and legs from the chains around them.
His memories brought him back to the past. Back when he no longer had hold over Rosalie, he had also forced her to stay by his side in the same manner.
Back then, Rosalie kept fighting back, arguing, threatening, lying and finally, she ran away, disappearing forever…
Thinking of the past when Rosalie was in the same position, Amon’s eyes gradually turned red…
“I don’t understand, she was the one who betrayed me first, why did she let me fall into hell…”
Trapped deep in that hell which was set up by Rosalie’s, which rendered him useless and unable to escape even if he wanted to!
When Taya heard this, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, but she still chose not to say a word.
Amon looked at the girl in front of him, whose face was exactly like Rosalie’s. He felt he could see his former lover through her.
After quietly staring at Taya for a while, he raised his cold fingers and stroked her long hair.
Amon brushed up a strand of curly black hair, and twisted it between his fingers while talking calmly.
“I suddenly remembered our second promise. I think it’s time you live up to your words…”
Taya didn’t answer him, so Amon bent down and whispered in her ear, “You promised to pretend to be Rosalie and live with me for a while.”
Taya tried to move her eyes with difficulty. She slowly looked in his direction and said, “After I die, ask George to remove the wolf spirit and return it to you.”
This was the first time she spoke to him in more than half a month, and Amon’s face sank when her cold and piercing tone
reached his ears. It’s fine if you don’t say yes…”
After a moment of anger, Amon regained his composure.
“Do you want to visit Griffon’ grave?”
Taya’s cold heart suddenly trembled. “Have they buried him?” she thought.
She didn’t even get to see him for the last time, and they were separated from each other just like that?
Clenching her hands, she dug her nails into her palm, trying to cut through the skin to suppress the pain in her heart. But no matter what she did, the pain did not subside.
How was she going to suppress this pain? The pain of losing a loved one; the pain of not being able to see him for the last time.
Taya simply let go of her palms, allowing the heart-piercing pain to devour her. Tears streamedd down from the corner of her eyes.
Seeing bocory again, Amon curled his lips and sooned coldly. If you want to see him, then you needddobbey my conditions.”

The person in the bed was getting weaker and weaker, to the point where they couldn’t even get an ounce of liquid into her.
George used various parenteral nutrition to keep her alive, but she no longer had the will to live.
When George saw those dull eyes as he was fixing the IV drip onto her hand, he paused for a second.
Removing the drip from her hand, he turned to face Amon, who was always watching him, fearing he said something wrong.
“Amon, we can’t let her dangle on the edge of death any longer, please let her go…”
Amon, who was leaning back on the sofa, glanced at Taya, who looked like a lifeless corpse.
“I don’t care what you do, I want you to keep her alive!”
“You know that the best way to keep her alive is by telling her the truth! Tell her that Griffon isn’t dead.”
Aronland was huge on manners and to be a gentleman to anyone. George couldn’t tolerate Amon torturing a woman, nor could he understand why he was doing this.
“You have to understand that when she dies, Rosalie’s wolf spirit will also be gone…”
Amon put down his legs, leaned forward slightly, and propped his elbows on his knees. He looked straight at George’s foreign face directly.
“So, your job is to find a way to let her live…”
Amon’s voice was so indifferent, as if he didn’t care whether Taya was alive, but he still ordered George to make sure she lived.
George stared at Amon, sighed helplessly, then turned his head and looked at Taya, who was already in a coma lying on the bed…
He opened the medicine cabinet, took out a few syringes, and injected them into Taya’s arm. After that, he stood by her side, waiting for her to regain consciousness.
When Taya opened her eyes, she could vaguely see the outline of George’s face. Initially, she couldn’t see anything at all, and George had been giving her various injections to save her eyesight. It worked, but it wasn’t what Taya wanted… With barely any strength in her voice, she opened her lips and said intermittently to George, “Can you… stop bringing me back…”
George raised his wrinkled hand and patted the back of Taya’s hand. “Ms. Palmer, you’re pregnant…”
Taya’s dead heart suddenly started beating, like a ray of light suddenly shining into her dark world.
She opened her eyes wide, trying to see if there was any deceit behind his eyes, but she couldn’t see his expression clearly, so she could only cry sadly.
Seeing her reaction, George breathed a sigh of relief, feeling less guilty. “For the sake of the pup, you must live well.”
When he said this, he clenched his fists tightly. The guilt was eating him from the inside, and he didn’t dare to look her in the eye, fearing she’d be able to see through his lie.
Taya kept sobbing, and all of a sudden, she chuckled softly. Her body shook from the laughter. Her voice was co a rse and eerie, like a madwoman.
George was startled, thinking she had gone insane, but she suddenly stopped laughing and stared at him with a pair of empty eyes.
“Why are you lying to me?” Stella had examined her before. Taya knew she wasn’t pregnant.
George didn’t expect Taya to know the truth, but he insisted, “I’m not lying, you are pregnant. Your baby is almost a month old.”
He casually pulled out a tube holding her blood from the medicine cabinet and handed it to Taya. “This is from your blood test. Before, I kept giving you TPN and hadn’t run any screens on you. But since your eyesight has worsened, I took some blood from you while you were asleep…”
Taya froze when George said she was pregnant a month ago. She and Griffon had indeed slept together at that time.
But after they’d slept, the tests showed she wasn’t pregnant. However, Stella did say that maybe they might’ve ran the tests too soon. Could it be…
