Taya still refused to believe him. Shouldn’t her body show signs if she were pregnant? How could she not feel that she was pregnant?
With great effort, she raised her hand and touched her belly, “How do you know that it’s been a month…”
George looked back at Amon, knowing that he would not let him tell the truth, so he could only continue to lie to Taya. “Ms. Palmer, I am a doctor, I can tell…”
In reality, he just guessed based on the time. Twenty days have pa*sed since Amon brought Taya here. Before bringing her back, she must have been with Griffon, so he just randomly estimated the time.
If Taya had told him that they hadn’t slept together a month ago, then he would’ve just told her the truth that he lied to keep her alive.
Since she confirmed his beliefs, George knew that he had guessed right.
He hoped that his lie would motivate her enough to keep her alive to see Griffon. The only way that could happen is if she stayed alive, right?
After George finished speaking, he bent down to get closer to Taya’s ear, encouraging her, “Live well so that you can go back to see him.”
His words implied that Griffon was still alive, but at this time, Taya had been brainwashed by Amon. She thought George meant going back to see Griffon’ grave.
She touched her lower abdomen as wavesbof emotions brushed across her face. Lots of thoughts flickered across her mind. “Why am I having Griffon’ pup now? Is this Go d’s way of refusing to let us be togetherin the afterlife?”
But without him, what’s the point of having pups?
Taya clenched the clothes on her lower abdomen, raised her dull eyes, and looked at George. “Help me…”
She wanted to say, “Help me get rid of it,” but she couldn’t bear to utter the words. This was his pup; their pup, the one that they wanted since forever.
But, she missed him so much. She couldn’t wait for her time to come so they’d be able to meet. Now that she was bearing their pup, how could she go see him?
Taya curled up in pain. “Why, why, why is this happening to me?”
She just wanted to go meet him in heaven! Why couldn’t they just let her die? Why? Her h oar se and howling voice penetrated Amon’s eardrums, causing him to slowly raise his head…
He stared at this frail figure in front of him that had a head of curly hair, and a strange emotion flashed across his eyes.
It seemed as if he couldn’t bear to watch either. Amon got up and said, “As long as you agree to my conditions, I will let you return home.”
George still wanted to comfort Taya, but when Amon cast a cold look over him, he could only shut up and leave with the medical kit.
Amon sat on the sofa in the living room, and the gloom from the dark sky enveloped him, making him look like a devil from hell.
He took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and exhaled. The smoke ring lit up his face partially in the dark.
After staring at him for a while, George asked him in a deep voice, “What were the conditions you offered her?”
Amon didn’t reply to George, but appeared restless as he continuously took puffs from the cigarette. George had more questions for Amon, but before he could ask anymore, Amon’s a*sistant came in from outside the villa.
After arriving in front of them, the a*sistant muttered between labored breaths, “Mr. Amon, there are three groups of people who came to Aronland, asking about Ms. Palmer’s whereabouts.”
After Amon crushed the last cigarette in the ashtray, he looked up at the a*sistant and asked, “Who are they?”
The a*sistant answered truthfully, “The first group were Johnny’s men who came to find Ms. Carmine, the other group was Griffon’ bodyguards. The last group’s identity is unknown, they appear to be from a certain organization…”
When Amon heard his words, he snorted coldly. “Johnny searched for so long before he came to Aronland, which goes to show how dumb he is. We shouldn’t fear him.
As for Griffon’ bodyguards, we don’t need to bother about them, unless Griffon has woken up, otherwise no one will know that I took Taya away…”
Amon snorted lightly, brushing aside his emotions, and looked at the a*sistant squarely. “The organization you’re talking about, is it Organization S?”
The a*sistant couldn’t find anything about Organization S, so he didn’t dare to come to a conclusion. “I don’t know if it’s them…”
Amon turned his head and looked at the bedroom under the staircase. “If Organization S is here, that means she must be someone important.”
Amon didn’t know much about Organization S either. All he knew was that the members were made up of pups from various elite packs. All of them were highly intellectual, and their main goal was to help solve any internal pack feuds. To be a part of Organization S, one had to pa*s their
a*sessment. A high IQ and loyalty were two characteristics that members had to possess.
Amon wasn’t sure if Organization S had come for Taya, but to be safe, he made a quick decision. “Pack everything, we’re heading for Ndola.”
After Amon made his decision, he immediately contacted Mr. Walton to prepare a private plane. Then he ordered his men to erase his tracks, and left Aronland quietly without a trace.
By the time they arrived in Ndola, it was already midnight.
The ser vant got out of the private plane with Taya on his back. Her figure looked extremely frail in that cold wind. Amon, who was walking behind him, glanced at them. In response, he took the coat from his arm and laid it over Taya’s body…
The subtle action caught George’s attention. His face shifted slightly, but he didn’t say anything. George continued to follow behind Amon with his head low and Grace in his arms.
Ndola was very cold at this time of the year, and the temperature was in the negativesbelow zero. It was barely ten minutesfrom the tarmac to the airport, but within that short span of time, Taya was already shivering from the cold.
The driver from the villa picked them up in the car and turned on the heater, but it still didn’t warm Taya enough…
When Amon saw her lying in the back with her arms folded tightly, curled up into a ball, refusing to accept the coat he gave her, his eyes darkened.
He picked up the coat and forced it over her. Taya didn’t resist immediately. However, when he returned back to his seat, she quickly pushed it off.
In Amon’s eyes, her small movement was an act of provocation. All the patience he had in his heart was wiped out and he couldn’t be bothered by her.
The pup obediently nestled in George’s arms, with her big, dark eyes wide open. She stared at Taya who was curled up in the back row without blinking.
When she saw how Taya looked from in front, her mind flashbacked to the time when she was also locked in the room. The little girl couldn’t resist reaching out her chubby hands to twirl Taya’s hair…
Her arms were very short, and she couldn’t reach Taya no matter how hard she tried. In the end, she broke free from George’s arms, and slid off him. With her short, stumpy legs, she walked to Taya’s side, and touched her face. “Miss, don’t be afraid.”
Taya’s heart trembled when her soft little hands touched her face.
She couldn’t see clearly. Taya didn’t know who was in front of her, but she could tell it was a pup from the sound of her whimpering.
As she continued to caress Taya’s face, she suddenly broke out into a loud wail. “Mommy, you are my mommy…”
Grace hugged Taya, cried and threw herself into her arms. “Mommy, I’m Grace! Why didn’t you come back for me? Don’t you want me anymore…”
When Taya heard the pup’s name, she knew that this pup belonged to her sister and her ex-husband. So, she turned out to be a girl. What was she doing here?
Reaching out for Grace’s head, she stroked it gently. “I’m not your mommy, I’m your aunt.”
Grace refused to believe it. She cried so hard that sn ot started running down her nose. “You are lying! I look at your photos every day, you are my mommy!”
Taya wanted to explain to Grace softly, but a ruthless voice erupted from beside her, “She’s not your mother, get the hell back to
your seat.”
When Grace’s big, bright eyes met Amon’s cold gaze, she was so frightened that she didn’t dare to speak, and even stopped crying…
She was very scared, so much so that she let go of Taya’s hand, shrugged her head like a deflated ball, and returned to George’s arms.
Taya couldn’t see Grace’s disappointed look clearly, but she could feel that the pup was afraid. Her ashen heart was faintly occupied by resentment.
Grace lay on George’s chest, still refusing to let it go. She turned her head, looked at Taya, inhaled deeply and muttered in a low
voice, “Obviously she is my mommy…”
George patted Grace on the back, coaxing her softly, “Your mommy and your aunt just look alike. You’re wrong Grace…”
When Grace heard this, she howled aloud again, “Then where is my mommy? And where is my daddy?”
When that strange uncle from behind took her away, she never saw daddy again.
Mommy, who went to heaven, didn’t come back to visit her when she was five like her daddy had promised.
The more Grace thought about it, the more despair she felt. She cried so hard that George couldn’t soothe her…
Amon, who was irritated by the noise, frowned and roared angrily, “Stuff her mouth!”
George glared at Amon, then retracted his gaze and patiently patted Grace on her back. “Grace, don’t cry, don’t cry…” nWhen Taya heard Grace’s choke back her so bs, she felt like a pin pric ked in her heart.
Her sister had pa*sed away, but Grace didn’t know. She touched her belly subconsciously. How was she going to tell her pup in the future that their father was gone…
When Taya thought of it, her heart throbbed with pain…
The pain choked her, making it hard for her to breathe, and the tears rolled down her face like broken beads…
If she knew from the beginning how things would turn out, when he was still around, she would never have pushed him away, again and again…
Taya turned sideways towards the car seat, hugged her arms tightly around herself, and covered her face with her hair, hiding all her regret.
