Dusk Snow Hides All Return (Rowan and Adrienne) novel Chapter 319

Chapter 293

Numbly, I turned around, plating my coffee hack in my office before going to Mr. Shaw’s.

Xander was standing sideways by the floor-to-ceiling window, head down, fiddling with his phone, seemingly having just ended a

call.

I carefully examined his neck; a band-aid covered a small wound.

Calmly, I said, “Mr. Shaw, do you need something?”

‘Accompany me to the hospital later.”

…To get a rabies shot?”

Xander paused, turning to look at me.”What?”

suppressed my annoyance. “I heard you were bitten by a kitten last night. Though it might be a bit presumptuous, i have to say, the cat didn’t provoke you. If you don’t want to be bitten, don’t… bully the kitten.”

Xander’s gaze was deep and probing.

He walked towards his desk, put down his phone, and sat down.

‘I didn’t say I was bitten by a cat while taking a walk. But I suppose seeing the band-aid, Liam and Zane jumped to conclusions. Kittens are so cute; why would I bully one?”

Me:…

Of course, I knew he wouldn’t actually go for a rabies shot, but he loves to be sarcastic, so when I heard him mention the hospital and remembered what Zane said, I thought he was being sarcastic again.

My wolf let out a frustrated growl,”ZANE!”

“So, why are we going to the hospital?”

“To visit someone.”

“…”

I felt awkward. I nodded.

“Okay, I understand. I’ll go now.”

I took a couple of steps back and turned to leave.

As I reached the hallway, I saw Zane approaching from the break room with a cup.

Seeing me, he whispered, “Is it the hospital? I saw him looking at his neck in the mirror this morning. He seems pretty concerned. I wonder how deep the bite was.

Why would he touch a stray cat in the neighborhood? And seriously, does the kitten have that much guts to bite a future alpha

I remained silently, numbly.

I noticed the colorful contents of his cup-goji berries, astragalus, and other herbs. I changed the subject What are you drinking?”

Zane “Eight Treasure Tea.”

“Oh, it looks good. Can I have some?”

“This tea isn’t suitable for you.”

“Huh?”

Testing my onfusion, he sent me a link. Bet you can buy some for your father.”

I clicked the link

The words that greeted me were: A Boon for Men! Drink it and Feel Like a New Mark Eight Carefully Selected Herbs! Money-Back Guarantee!

Every word was bolded and highlighted, striking to the heart

…Zane, you… I gave him a look of exasperation.

No need to push yourself so hard.”

Then, I went into my office.

Zane looked at me, then at the Eight Treasure Tea in his cup, puzzled.

He took a sip.

His wolf shook its head, not getting it, “WHY IS THERE NO NEED TO PUSH MYSELF SO HARD? DOES SOPHIA THINK WE’RE ALREADY STRONG?”

After the morning meeting.

Xander and I went to the hospital.

On the way.

We passed a flower shop, and he asked me to stop. He wanted to buy sonte flowers.

Watching his back as he entered the flower shop, I wondered: Is he visiting a woman?

A moment later, he emerged.

n his hand was a bouquet of… chrysanthemums?

thought I was seeing things.

Who visits someone in the hospital with chrysanthemums? After he got into the car, I looked at the flowers next to him.

ure enough, chrysanthemums, yellow and white, in elegant black wrapping paper-a distinctly funeral vibe.

..Mr. Shaw, may I ask who you’re visiting?”

A highly respected elder.”

AN ELDER? IS THIS ELDER ABOUT TO PASS AWAY? EVEN THEN, YOU WOULDN’T BRING CHRYSANTHEMUMS!” My wolf roasted him.

didn’t ask further. I silently started the car.

We soon arrived at the hospital.

We took the elevator to the VIP floor.

All the way, Xander brazenly carried the chrysanthemums, strolling through the hospital, attracting shocked and startled stares.

I saw nurses several times wanting to approach. They probably wanted to take the flowers from him. Why they didn’t, perhaps it was because of his powerful aura, or perhaps… they thought the dark suit and dark flowers matched?

The ambiance was quite something.
