"Does Lilith have seven months to wait?"
With that, Roxanne pushed Hazel into the hospital room.
"Give her the medicine now! I can't bear to see Lilith in pain! Even if she's going to die, I want her to go peacefully!"
So what if she was addicted?
As long as it made Lilith a little more comfortable, she didn't mind her using the drug indefinitely.
Gideon raised a hand to stop them, but his phone buzzed.
He glanced at the message.
It was from Aria. A rare occasion of her messaging him first.
[Aria: I want to see you in half an hour.]
It came with a location pin.
A veterinary hospital.
Gideon's eyes turned to ice. She had taken that damned dog after all!
His gaze, now cold, fell on Charles. "Charles, control your dog. Don't let it bite people again."
***
After sending the message, Aria waited at the veterinary hospital.
Gideon pushed the door open, his eyes immediately landing on Rufus, who was lying quietly by Aria's side.
He was having fluid drained from his abdomen, and a large bag was already filled with the bloody liquid.
Gideon's brow furrowed. "What's going on?"
"Charles never took him to the vet," Aria said, her voice low. "And he doesn't just bite people randomly. It's because…"
"I didn't come here to listen to this."
