Fated For Lycan's Luna (Chloe and Blake) novel Chapter 14

"What did you say?" Upon hearing me, Blake’ eyes widened.

"I said I’ll stay," I gripped my hands tight and repeated with a clearer voice.

Blake’s eyes lit up like someone who have seen the sun after the prolonged winter. A smile beautiful smile bloomed on his lips, making my heart waver. Then, he reached out to me, clearly wanting to hug me.

I looked at Blake with a frown before taking a few steps back, avoiding his touch. I rubbed my ears, feeling a little awkward.

"But I'm only staying to help remove the poison," I quickly emphasized. Although I said I would stay, it wasn’t because I have forgiven Blake and accepted him again as my mate. I only wanted to detoxify him.

Blake’s hand froze in midair, his face suddenly turned blank. After a couple of seconds, Blake finally withdrew his hand.

"And after that?" Blake carefully asked me.

"I will leave," I answered.

Blake’s expression instantly fell. The hope that just flickered in his eyes disappeared and was replaced with pain and sadness.

I could feel his gaze still fell on me, but I chose to ignore it. I couldn't..., I just couldn't bear the mournful look on his face.

As I was at a loss, Arthur broke the silence by bumping Blake's shoulder and saying, "Hey lucky bro, we found the solution to the poison. You'll be fine!"

Silence...again.

Blake didn’t say anything. He did not even glance at Arthur, as if what Arthur said did not matter at all. It was as if he did not care about living or dying.

He merely kept staring at me, quiet but aloof.

Arthur had an embarrassed look on his face. He scratched his head awkwardly and put some distance between himself and Blake.

Feeling suffocated by Blake’s stare, I looked away from him and intentionally turned to Arthur.

"Do you have his body check-up result? I especially need a report on his blood work to determine which poison is in his system." I asked, purposely ignoring Blake.

"Yes… We have that." Arthur only hesitated for a moment before he quickly retrieved a stack of documents from his office desk and handed them to me. My heart sank as I briefly went through the papers. Based on Blake’s result and blood work, the poison that was given to him was… a very complex poison.

I felt a cold chill down my spine. "Looks like Father and the others really wanted Blake dead." If not for Blake’s unique physique and strength, he would have already died a hundred times.

"What is it?" Arthur frowned at my expression. "Is it hard to cure?"

I bit my lip and nodded, "I need time to produce the antidote."

"How long will that take?" Arthur must have understood my meaning and asked with a serious expression.

"I will get it done as soon as possible,” I answered.

Blake was my mate. Despite everything that happened, I did not want him to be hurt in any way. I hoped for Blake's safety, more so than Arthur... more so than anyone.

I would do anything to cure him.

"I shall take this report with me." Filled with determination, I headed to the door while flipping through the pages.

Suddenly, Arthur called out to me, "Chloe."

I stopped, realizing I did not even wait for their reply before leaving. Awkwardly, I turned around and asked, "Do you need anything else?"

"Well…" Arthur looked troubled. His brows were furrowed as he stammered, "Can I… Can I trouble you to check on the condition of other members of the pack? They…"

"Arthur!" Blake cut him off sternly, scaring him into shutting up. The clinic was again filled with silence.

Blake ignored Arthur and walked up to me. He was giving me a burning stare as he asked, "Chloe, I have something to say to you. I…"

"Arthur, did you say that someone else was poisoned too?" I deliberately ignored Blake and turned my attention to Arthur. At the moment, I could not face Blake. I did not know how to deal with him. More than that, I was afraid he would ask me questions that I could not answer. For example, to stay or not to stay?

Therefore, my only solution was to avoid him.

Arthur awkwardly looked at Blake before looking at me. "Ah… Y-Yes…" He gave a lagged response.

"Bring me to them," I offered.

"S-Sure." Arthur shot a sympathetic look at Blake and led me outside. Right after we began to move, I heard Blake's heavy and hoarse voice coming from behind. "I'm sorry…"

My heart skipped a beat. I halted for a second but soon continued walking away, not giving him a single glance.
