Was Alpha Knight going to settle accounts with Eric?
It just so happened that Andre had beef with Eric too. Should he end it once and for all?
Andre readily agreed to it. “No problem, leave everything to me.”
After Griffon gave his orders, he tried to force himself to get up, but found that he couldn’t move. Only his fingers could wiggle a little.
One by one, he curled his fingers, concentrating all his strength on his hands in an attempt to get back up with the strength of his fingers, but to no avail.
When Andre saw the layer of faint sweat on his beautifully Go d-chiseled face, he hurried forward to dissuade Griffon, knowing that he was forcing himself up.
“Alpha Knight, you just woke up from a coma, and you shouldn’t move around for the time being. You should take a good rest for some time before we advance to physio…”
Griffon failed to get up several times, so he gave up struggling…
The melancholy in his brows reminded him of Taya’s severe coma back then.
He had never been able to feel for himself the pain, but right then as he was experiencing it, he finally knew how agonizing
it was…
At the thought of how she had survived those few years alone, his heart couldn’t stop aching…
Deep down, he swore that once he could move, he must stay by her side and make up for the harm done…
The doctors entered the ward with a bunch of medication and re-infused the newly prescribed medicinal fluid to the man on the hospital bed.
Andre fished his phone out and sent a message to Zack, urging him to locate Ms. Palmer as soon as possible, preferably within a day.
After texting Zack, he immediately notified Preston, in the form of a text, to keep Ms. Palmer’s matter a secret for the time being.
In the middle of a meeting in the Alpha’s conference room, Preston dismissed the meeting and got up to leave at once
after receiving the news of Griffon waking up.
He rushed to the hospital ward, and was just about to enter when he saw a woman so inhumanly beautiful standing by the window…
The woman had her arms folded around her chest with her chin resting on one hand, a pair of seductive foxy eyes on the man in the ward through the gla*s.
“Everything’s fine now that you’ve woken up, or we won’t have a leader..”
Muttering to herself, Emelyn was about to turn around and leave when she saw Preston sizing her up from head to toe with a frown.
Emelyn scanned Preston’s face. Realizing that he kind of resembled Griffon, she figured that he must be one of his younger brothers.
Younger boys were her favorite…
Emelyn’s bony fingers raised to brush aside the wavy hair on her chest as she winked at Preston. “Hey there hottie, give me your number…”
If it were the past, Preston would have pounced forward to wrap his arms around her shoulders and take her away.
For some reason, such a thought did not cross his mind at all. Instead, he doubtfully asked, “Who are you and how did you get in?”
It was the VIP ward on the top floor of the hospital. A card was needed to enter, so how could the woman have appeared on their floor?
Fiddling with curls of hair on her chest, Emelyn stepped forward on high heels, walking up to Preston to charmingly whisper, “Ask your brother.”
She dropped the three words before raising her haughty chin. and walked past Preston, calm and composed…
Preston was anxious to meet Griffon and couldn’t be any bothered by how the woman came in, so he swiftly withdrew his gaze and stepped in.
“Griffon!”
As soon as the sound escaped his mouth, Andre, sitting in an armchair by the hospital bed, raised his index finger up to his lips, as if to motion for silence.
Andre pointed to Griffon who had reentered sleep from the effect of the medication. “After waking up, he fell asleep again…”
Preston gave an understanding nod. In light steps, he walked up to Griffon and bent over to take a closer look.
Seeing Griffon in his sleep with steady breathing and the occasional trembling of eyelashes, he could finally relax and take a break from being on tenterhooks…
The corners of his thin lips curled. It was great that Griffon had finally woken up!
He took out his mobile phone, and with trembling fingertips, gave Harper a call before notifying members of the Knight pack…
Only after having dealt with everything did Preston ask Andre, “I just saw a gorgeous woman outside the door. She seems to be acquainted with Griffon. Do you know who she is?”
When Andre heard “gorgeous”, his first guess was Ms. Davies.
When Alpha Knight had been in a coma, Andre came to know her when she once visited with Zack.
Since identities of members of Organization S weren’t supposed to be revealed, Andre made up a lie.
“She’s probably a doctor. There are many female doctors in the hospital who have a crush on Alpha Knight and would always come all the way here to check on him.”
Preston didn’t doubt his words since it was very possible for a doctor to be dressed in casual clothing at that hour.
Yet, the lady knew he was Griffon’ brother. Could it be possible that they knew each other before?
Preston frowned and intended to go on probing when the phone rang. It was a call from his grandfather…
Hearing that their grandfather would be visiting Griffon, he got up and informed Andre before leaving the hospital to pick him up.
When Griffon opened his eyes once more, it was the second day. Seeing the Knight pack members standing in the ward, his hawk eyes were stained with impatience.
Knowing that he preferred quietness, the Knight pack did not make any noise. They remained to stand quietly aside, and the extreme quietness made it seem like a pack meeting. Sitting at the foot of the hospital bed was a
seventy-five-year-old dressed in a suit and leather shoes, a vibrant elderly man with gray hair. With his back straightened, his eyes were tear-filled looking at Griffon’ pale and thin face…
With his crane tightly clutched, he uttered in a deep voice, “Griffon, things have gone hard on you.”
The voice of the old man revealed the vicissitudes of the years, but it was still as vigorous and powerful as always.
Coupled with his body that exuded an overbearing aura and his voice that was oppressively majestic.
That sense of oppression was inherent in the Knight pack. It was a powerful aura that came with years of taking the With his eyes lowered, Griffon nodded his head without anything else to say…
Alpha Knight, too, sensed the distance between them. After sitting for a while, he began feeling restless and awkward.
When Griffon was young, he had acquiesced in Gloria’s actions out of guilt for her, and had never defended his grandson.
Although he focused on cultivating Griffon, they weren’t close, and Griffon seldom visited him at the Knight Manor after he was all grown up…
Knowing that the incident was a matter that gnawed at Griffon’ mind, he didn’t stay long and left after giving a few words of advice..
Seeing members of the Knight pack following Alpha Knight out of the ward, Griffon withdrew his indifferent gaze to Preston, who stayed behind.
“Has she been here?”
Preston and Andre exchanged glances before Preston lowered his eyes, answering with a guilty conscience, “She did. After you fell asleep last night, Harper and Taya came to visit back..”
Since Harper felt a little uncomfortable, Taya sent her Griffon’ well-kept brows were drawn to a frown. “When you lie, you’ll unnaturally look at the floor…”
Preston’s heart missed a beat. He tried to retort, but happened to see Griffon chiding with an icy face. “Did something happen to her?”
Preston had his head lowered, not daring to answer. Griffon’ gaze shifted to Andre, and at sight of him with his head drooped, his blood boiled in rage.
“Speak!”
Griffon growled, his entire body trembling, not knowing if it was from his physical discomfort, or for fear of anything happening to Taya.
In short, the flustered emotions were stuck in his heart, suffocating him as if a hand was strangling his airway, so uncomfortable that he couldn’t catch his breath…
Seeing that he couldn’t hide it any longer, Preston had no choice but to tell the whole story. “Griffon, Taya has been
missing for two months. I sent people all over the world to search, but they couldn’t find her whereabouts, and I don’t know where she went…”
Two months, the boiling rage sent him spitting out a mouthful of blood…
“Griffon!”
“Alpha Knight!”
Preston and Andre turned pale with fright. They rushed forward, one to worriedly check his body, and the other rushed to ring the bell.
Griffon, who hadn’t been able to move an inch, didn’t care whether he was vomiting blood. He mustered his strength and pushed Preston away to lift the quilt, getting up from the hospital bed.
He supported the edge of the bed and made up his mind to go looking for Taya, but his weak knees gave him away by sending him falling to the ground….
After being in a coma for two months, the body stimulated by a series of therapies such as brain cell-nourishing drugs, hyperbaric oxygen, and acupuncture couldn’t bring him to walk around immediately after waking up…
Yet, Griffon refused to give up. He braced himself and tried to get up from the ground again and again….
Seeing that, Preston and Andre quickly tried to step forward to help him, but they were frightened by his cold eyes and froze in place.
“Alpha Knight, I’m sorry, I took the liberty of keeping this incident from you. I was afraid that you’d not be able to bear the news when you’ve just woken up, so I kept it a secret from you.”
After Andre apologized, he dropped to the ground on one knee in front of Griffon, forcibly dragging him up to the hospital bed.
“Alpha Knight, you shouldn’t be walking now based on the condition of your body. After you’ve recovered, you can go to Ms. Palmer. Else, if you force yourself to stand up, you’ll hurt your muscles, tendons, bones and everything that’s involved. If you end up with a limp leg, I’m sure Ms. Palmer will be hurt…”
Once Andre mentioned Taya, Griffon suppressed his fuming anger. With his fists clenched, he looked up at Andre coldly.
“The person who took her away was Amon. You must all head over to Aronland at once to bring her back, and…”
When Griffon paused, a murderous chill erupted from his eyes. “Tie Amon up and bring him to me!”
He had thought that Amon had been there to rescue Taya. Little had he expected him to be there to take Taya away!
Had he known Amon’s purpose, he would never have fought his way out and pushed her to Amon even if he was to die!
At the thought of how Taya was kidnapped for two months, Griffon’ resent intensified!
“Amon, if you have the guts to take my woman away, I’ll give you a taste of piercing, agonizing pain!”
