Griffon’ soothing voice calmed Taya. She nodded at him, then stepped into the ward.
The man lying in the hospital bed was covered in blood, which had stained the sheet and blanket red.
The doctor must have just declared he was beyond saving, and there wasn’t time to clean him up yet.
Sitting aside, George held Amon’s hand as he wailed.
“Amon, I’m sorry for failing to save you. I’m truly sorry…”
Hearing George’s words, Taya’s eyes turned red.
When she saw the blo ody sight on the bed, her sister’s wolf spirit couldn’t stop throbbing with pain.
She palmed her chest and walked stiffly up to Amon.
Lying in bed, the man moved his eyes with difficulty and blearily looked at the woman as she neared.
He saw her wearing a red dress. With shoulder-length hair, she let out a radiant smile as she waved at him.
“Amon, if I win this competition, you promise to be with me, okay?”
Struggling to stay alive, Amon replied softly, “Okay.”
It was the answer he owed her, and he finally said it. “Coming to see me for the last time, Rosalie should have heard it, right?” He wondered.
After George offered his seat, Taya sat down by the hospital
bed and heard Amon say “Okay” while looking at her.
She realized Amon had thought she was her sister and
stopped herself from calling him “Amon”.
Amon exerted all his strength to lift his trembling fingers and
touched her face.
“Rosalie… are you my Rosalie?”
Taya’s heart throbbed so hard that she shed tears.
She wiped her tears off and nodded.
“Yes, I’m Rosalie.”
It had been four years since she put her wolf spirit into her body.
For the past few years, he had forced her to be Rosalie’s substitute, and she either refused or went with it reluctantly.
Only this time, she willingly pretended to be her sister just to see him off for the last time.
When Amon heard her answer, he smiled knowingly, “So… my Rosalie is not dead yet.”
“How nice it would be if I could survive this and live happily ever after with Rosalie and Grace?” He thought wistfully.
“It’s a pity that I’m dying…”
When Amon lowered his hand from her cheek, his fingertips brushed by her long curly hair.
He knew Rosalie didn’t have such long hair.
In Amon’s blurred vision, a face, similar to Rosalie’s but still different, gradually emerged.
“So she’s Taya, not Rosalie.” He thought ruefully.
He had mistaken her for her sister again.
Amon’s bright eyes gradually lost their glow.
He slowly looked toward her wolf spirit as if he could feel Rosalie’s presence, which made him extremely at ease.
“Taya…”
He struggled to call out her name. Sitting next to him, Taya saw him recognize her and quickly wiped away her tears as
she moved closer.
“Amon.”
She still recognized him as her brother-in-law despite the way he had treated her before.
Her kindness made Amon lower his eyelashes in guilt.
After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly opened his mouth and said sincerely, “I’m sorry…”
Probably because he knew he was dying, and he also realized he had acted like an a*shole, his belated apology came from the bottom of his heart.
Knowing that Amon was apologizing to her, Taya shook her head at him, but when she parted her lips again, she didn’t know what to say.
When Amon looked at Taya with his lifeless eyes, he gave her a faint pleading look.
“Do you still remember the agreement?”
“Yes.”
Taya nodded.
His first request was for her to complete the project on behalf
of her sister.
The second was to become her sister’s substitute for a month.
Amor hadn’t mentioned his third request yet.
“The third one…”
Amon struggled to say the three words and lost his strength.
Lying in the hospital bed, he clutched the bloo dy sheet and rested for a long time before his blood-stained lips slowly parted.
“Help me… take care of Grace.”
Even without him asking, Taya would take care of Grace, “Amon, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of Grace.””
Amon knew that Griffon loved Taya very much and would definitely help get Grace back, so when Casare took her away, he was not so worried.
But he was still worried, so he used the agreement to force her to take care of Grace. He was being unscrupulous, but he had no choice.
Casare was a favorite member of the royal pack. Even if they knew that Casare had killed him, they would still try to protect
that man.
The Yardley pack would retaliate by killing Casare and might even go after the royal pack, but they were no match for these
people.
Amon knew very well that the one who could defeat Casare
and the royal pack was Griffon, who alone had the ability to deal with all powers.
However, he didn’t want Griffon to avenge him. He just wanted to find Grace a protector.
He would be happy enough if Grace could stay away from Casare under their protection, study hard, and grow up healthy.
As for his revenge, it didn’t matter to him because he believed he had long deserved to die.
Amon stopped thinking and slowly turned his gaze to Taya.
“There’s one more thing…”
Seeing that he was trembling when he spoke, Taya knew he was on the verge of death, but he held on because he still had to finish his last words.
She didn’t dare to waste time and quickly asked, “What is it?”
Amon clutched the bedsheet tightly as he exerted all his strength and said three words, “Grace Rosalie Yardley…”
Taya thought that he was missing his sister, so she quickly nodded, “Rosalie knows you miss her. Her wolf spirit is aching for you.”
The gradually lifeless man was very tired and wanted to fall asleep, but he held on and blinked, “It’s Grace’s… full name.”
Rosalie had asked him to choose a name for Grace, and if he didn’t want her to take his pack name, their daughter could
take hers.
He regarded Rosalie as his wife. Although they were not mated, he wanted their pup to take his pack name.
Rosalie gave birth to the pup but never gave her a pack name, just so that he would recognize her as his own and let her take his surname.
Not knowing whether he loved her or not, she still used this method to gauge his feelings. How could he fail her expectation?
After Amon finished those words, he coughed, and blood came out from the corners of his mouth.
The blood choked him so much that he couldn’t even speak clearly, “Bury… bury us together…”
Taya frantically took a tissue paper to stop the bleeding as the blood spilled from the corners of his mouth and nodded with tears in her eyes, “Okay, I’ll bury you two together.””
