Back at Stella’s hospital in Arcadia, two months have pa*sed since Griffon fell into a coma.
The man on the hospital bed had an elegant, pale face that looked like it was shrouded by mist. With his eyes closed, one could only see his long, thick eyelashes.
He was lying quietly on the white bed. Without any movement or sound, it was as if he had already left the world, leaving behind only a shell.
Preston took the cotton swab from Andre, dipped it in warm water, and moistened the thin, dry and dull lips of the man lying on the hospital bed.
After he finished moisturizing his lips, he fetched a clean towel, and while wiping the man’s forehead, he asked the head bodyguard standing behind him, “Have you found her?”
The head bodyguard lowered his head. With a face full of guilt, he replied solemnly, “Sorry, I didn’t find her in Aronland
either…”
Hearing this, Preston squeezed the towel in his hand. Turning around, he slapped it on the head of the head bodyguard. He shouted, “You piece of sh*t! You can’t even find one tiny girl!”
The head bodyguard didn’t dare to duck, allowing Preston to take his anger out on him. “Someone clearly saw her on that private plane to Aronland three months ago. How could you not find her?”
Preston was so angry that his face was livid, pointing at the head bodyguard, he continued to curse, “You already have a lead, yet you can’t find her. What’s the use of you all then?”
The head bodyguard still didn’t dare to refute. Preston was so angry that he looked for something to hit him hard, but was stopped by Andre.
“Mr. Preston, that private plane belonged to Mr. Walton of the Aronland royal pack, but he claims he doesn’t know Ms. Palmer. He also mentioned Ms. Palmer has never been on that plane, so it must be a mistake.”
Apart from the rage clearly written on his face, Preston’s face clearly looked exhausted from running Knight pack. There was also the stroke of anxiousness from the fact that his brother
was still unconscious.
These emotions weighed on him, making him change from his usual gentleness and elegance to behaving like a bratty, rich
kid with no morals.
He frowned, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and sat back on the hospital bed again.
He looked at the man on the hospital bed, his dark and deep eyes filled with worry and guilt, “Griffon, I’m sorry, it’s been so long, but I still haven’t found Taya…”
After he finished speaking, he leaned back on the sofa weakly. Looking at that flawless face, he murmured in a low voice, “If you don’t wake up, I’m afraid we’ll never find Ms. Palmer again. Do you really plan on leaving her missing like this…”
Preston babbled on and on, but the man lying on the bed still didn’t respond, as if he were planning to sleep forever. It appeared as if he was planning on leaving Ms. Palmer, his pack and this earth behind, forever.
Preston was at his wits’ end. Closing his eyes, he got up and looked at Andre. “Please take good care of him.”
Andre nodded lightly, watching the exhausted Preston leave. Andre pulled out his phone, and called Zack.
“Zack, did Elder confess?”
“No.”
Over there, Zack was pulling Elder by the collar. Trying to intimidate and torture Elder, he was about to shoot if Elder kept silent. When he heard Andre’s call, he threw Elder, who had been beaten half to death, to the ground.
“He’s afraid that we’ll kill him if he gave us information about Ms. Palmer’s whereabouts.”
Andre snorted coldly after hearing the words. “Got to give it to the man for his tenacity.”
Zack raised his foot and kicked Elder hard. “Not only can he endure, but he is also quite intelligent. He almost ran away several times.”
Andre warned, “He is the only one who knows Ms. Palmer’s whereabouts. You must watch him closely. Are they still looking for her in Aronland?”
Zack replied, “They never stopped. If Walton refuses to tell the truth, I’ll kidnap his pack. I’m sure that would speed things up.”
Andre nodded. “Zack, the bodyguards won’t find anything here, as for the Knight pack… Old Alpha Knight still blames Ms. Palmer for what happened to Griffon. That’s why he refuses to send men to look for her. Everything is up to you
now.”
Zack replied, “I understand,” and hung up the phone.
Andre also put down his phone and turned to look at the person on the hospital bed.
He stared at him for a long while, and like Preston, he sat beside him, talking in a low voice.
He had looked it up online. According to the resources, people who were in comas still were conscious. If you talked to them a lot, and said things to trigger them, they would eventually wake up.
For Alpha Knight, Ms. Palmer was his life. If they brought her up more, he might wake up…
After Andre talked for a while, he wanted to fetch some water, but the moment he got up, he saw Griffon’ fingers tremble slightly on the white sheet…
Although it was just a small movement, Andre was so shocked that his pupils widened, and he stood still, staring at the hand.
“Alpha Knight, are you awake?”
After Andre recovered from the astonishment, he rushed to the hospital bed, excitedly, staring into Griffon’ eyes.
The eyelashes seemed to be fighting against the person in the dream, fluttering…
He was trying hard to open his eyes, but he couldn’t open them no matter what…
He was trapped in a beautiful dream. In the dream, Taya, carrying their pup, was leading a wonderful life with him.
He was immersed in such a beautiful dream and was unwilling to leave, but one day, another empty and lifeless Taya reached out to him.
Stroking her belly, Taya would call for him from afar, wailing, “I miss you so much, when will you pick me up.”
He turned his head to look at the Taya holding a pup, flashing him a contented smile, then at the Taya standing amongst the mist, sobbing and nearly blind.
He couldn’t tell from the two who his Taya was. He could do nothing to stop himself from falling into a predicament, constantly struggling between happiness and heartache…
In the end, he chose to walk towards the Taya who his heart ached so much for. The closer he got, the more he could sense that she was his Taya.
When his hand rested on her cheek, trying to wipe away the tears dripping from her eyes, she disappeared. Everything was like a dream.
The surrounding scenery faded away, along with the Taya holding a pup and always flashing him a smile, collapsing with a rumble.
He spun around, calling their names. “Taya!”
When he yelled the words, his eyes, which were shut all along, shot open.
When Andre’s eyes met the almond-shaped ones full of stars, he was so shocked and at a loss for words that he started weeping with joy.
“Alpha Knight, you’re awake!”
With trembling hands, Andre pressed the button at the foot of the hospital bed. “Quick, come on, Alpha Knight is awake!”
The vice director, Mr. Brulee, who was always paying attention.
to the situation in the ward, hopped to his feet upon receiving the news of Alpha Knight waking up. He wasted no time rushing to the ward with a group of doctors.
Surrounding the man on the hospital bed, they conducted various checkups. It was only when the reports showed that everything was fine that they could believe the existence of miracles.
Gawking wide-eyed at the pale Griffon, Mr. Brulee uttered in disbelief, “Alpha Knight, I thought you wouldn’t wake up, I didn’t expect…”
His words trailed off. Alpha Knight had woken up, and nothing mattered more than that.
As reality set in, Mr. Brulee breathed a sigh of relief…
During that period, the Knight pack was just a step away from skinning him and demolishing the hospital!
What made things worse was that after the director was brought away, he had yet to return, so the burden of responsibility from the hospital was all on him.
Fortunately, Alpha Knight woke up, so he could finally break free from the ma*sive rock weighing on his body and have a good night’s sleep…
Griffon’ indifferent gaze swept past everyone in the hard, but he saw no traces of the figure in his memory.
Blinking his eyelashes as he shifted his gaze to Andre, his thin lips parted with great difficulty. “What about her…”
Andre waved. After the doctors left, he walked up to Griffon. “Alpha Knight, Ms. Palmer has returned for a rest. She’ll be back tomorrow, don’t worry.””
He feared that Alpha Knight might not be able to bear the news of Ms. Palmer going missing for two months just after waking up, so he chose to keep it a secret and wait for Alpha Knight’ vital signs to stabilize before telling him the truth.
Griffo n co uldn’t wait to see Taya, but when he heard that she was back for rest, he had no choice but to suppress his longing.
In a hoarse and low voice, he asked, “How long have I… been in a coma?”
Andre replied, “Two months…”
For two months, it must have been really tough on her to stay by his side, taking care of him…
As if he could see through what Griffon was thinking about, feeling a little guilty, Andre avoided Griffon’ gaze and turned
“Alpha Knight, you’re thirsty, aren’t you? I’ll feed you some
water…”
After Andre filled the gla*s, he picked up the spoon and tried to feed him water, but the man averted his head in response.
The indifferent eyes were locked on Andre. “Did you send her flowers every day?”
Andre’s heart trembled. Once Alpha Knight woke up, all he had to care about was Ms. Palmer instead of his body. If Alpha Knight knew that Ms. Palmer was not around…
Seeing Andre stunned, the man on the hospital bed exuded a cold aura. “Didn’t you?”
He had promised that as long as he was alive, he would send a bouquet of flowers daily, non-stop, so how could Andre not help him fulfill his promise?
Andre was so terrified by his cold voice that he returned to his senses and defended himself in a hurry, “I delivered it. You did tell me that I’ll be in charge of delivering the flowers if you don’t have the time to, and I obeyed your instructions…”
Andre had made up his mind to deliver a lifetime of roses
should Alpha Knight not wake up for the rest of his life.
Hearing so, the frown on Griffon’ brows eased. His clear eyes swept around the room before they fell on Andre once more. “There’s one more thing I need you to do…”
Andre inquired, “Alpha Knight, what is it?”
Griffon’ face was sickly, but there was a cold-blooded glint in his eyes. “You… go and deal with Eric!”
He had once vowed that after Taya was rescued, he would make sure to hack Eric into pieces and never let him go with. ease!
