Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 438

Madeline:

“We are truly sorry for everything. We just really need your help. The kids are dying,” Lord Eldon said, his tone softer than I had ever heard from him.

“I'm sorry, but it's not that I don't want to help,” I replied, folding my arms tightly. “I just don't have the means to help. I'm living as a rogue. I don't have a laptop. I don't have my phone. I don't have any of my files backed up that I could use for my research. How do you expect me to come up with a solution or a cure for the sickness?”

I let out a slow breath.

“So no, I'm really sorry. I wish I could help, but I have to refuse. Besides, I have many of my own problems right now, and I am not in the mental state to do any investigations. I hope you find the cure. Thank you. Have a good day.”

With that, I turned and walked away, my shoulders broad. Lord Jonah followed right behind me.

Silence stretched behind us.

Then Lady Abigail’s voice cut through the air.

“Your husband is in the hospital,” she said quietly.

That was all it took to make me stop and turn back, my eyes locking onto hers.

“So now it has come to the point where you will start threatening my husband's life again?” I demanded, turning back toward her and folding my arms across my chest.

Some of the others shifted uncomfortably, glancing at Lady Abigail as if questioning what she was doing.

“I'm not threatening you,” she said, pausing before straightening her back. “What if I give you permission to stay in Ron's pack with your husband, close to him, until he wakes up?”

Her offer made my body go still.

I did not react right away, but I listened carefully.

“You and your children, along with Baxter's parents, can stay in the pack, safe and away from the monster that has already hurt two of your family members. You will be allowed to visit your husband anytime you want. Your children can go to school there, and they will receive the best medical care as well,” Lord William explained calmly.

By the time he finished, Lord Jonah and I were already exchanging looks.

“Tell us your decision, please. We do not have time,” Lady Abigail pressed, her voice carrying anxiety.

I turned slightly toward Lord Jonah, and he gave me a small nod.

I wanted to make these people regret everything they had done, but the children were innocent. They had no fault in any of this.

I only wanted them to apologize and struggle a little, so they would understand they could not hurt someone and still get everything they wanted.

Instead, they were offering more than I had expected.

"I’m really sorry for giving you a hard time, but I only did it so that others would realize they cannot mistreat me," I whispered to Lord William as I sat in the car with him, his warrior, and his driver.

It was easy for me to speak with him.

"I understand. You don’t have to explain yourself to me," he replied.

"In fact, I expected you to be very harsh," he added.

"Nobody would have judged you if you had done that," he continued.

Lord William gestured with his hand and smiled.

He was such a nice man, honestly not like other leaders.

Then we arrived at the pack, where I had to sign a few papers to confirm that I was working on the cases and to sign for temporary residency in Ron's pack.

I did not plan to just sit there silently.

I was going to look for the killer of Lady Riva and help Yuvonne and Ron at the same time.

I did not forget about them.
