SOPHIA’S POV

By the time I left Ashley’s ward, my chest felt completely hollow.

The hospital hallway blurred slightly as I walked away, though I wasn’t sure if it was because of exhaustion or because I was trying hard not to cry again. My wolf stayed quiet inside me too. She wasn’t growling anymore.

She just felt...sad. And honestly, so did I.

The argument in Ashley’s room kept replaying painfully inside my head while I walked slowly through the corridor. I remembered Tasha’s offended face, Ashley siding with her, Mr. Stewart looking disappointed in me like I was some uncontrollable problem.

None of them even tried understanding me. Not one person.

I still ended up becoming the villain again.

My wolf whimpered softly.

By the time I returned to my ward, Patricia immediately noticed my expression.

“Oh no,” she muttered while standing up from the couch. “What happened now?”

I stayed silent for a few seconds before slowly sitting on the bed.

“I want to leave.”

Patricia frowned “Leave where?”

“The hospital.”

“Sophia...”

“I’m serious,” I interrupted quietly. “I can’t stay here anymore.”

The hospital suddenly felt emotionally suffocating now. Everywhere I looked reminded me of arguments, heartbreak, disappointment, or Zade.

My wolf reacted immediately at the thought of him.

-

The discharge process took several hours.

Doctors kept insisting I needed more rest while Patricia argued with nearly everyone until they finally approved it. By afternoon, I was officially allowed to leave under strict conditions – Rest, medication, no stress.

Honestly, the last instruction already sounded impossible.

My wolf remained emotionally exhausted during the entire process too. She stayed uiet while Patricia packed my things carefully around the ward.

But the moment we finally stepped outside the hospital entrance...something inside me relaxed slightly.

I inhaled the fresh air. It felt like freedom.

The drive back to Sky Manor felt peaceful.

Patricia drove while soft music played quietly through the car speakers. For several minutes, neither of us spoke much.

I leaned against the seat while staring absentmindedly outside the window.

The farther we moved away from the hospital, the lighter my chest gradually felt.

When we finally arrived at Sky Manor, I was exhausted.

But the second the gates opened fully, I smiled.

Home.

The car stopped near the front entrance. Before I could even fully step out, the front door suddenly burst open.

“Aunt Sophia!”

A tiny blur rushed toward me immediately. I barely had time to react before Klara threw herself directly into my arms.

I laughed weakly while catching her.

Klara held me while pouting dramatically. “You disappeared forever!”

My chest instantly melted.

“I was only gone for a few days,” I murmured softly.

“That’s forever.”

Patricia snorted behind me immediately. “Drama queen.”

I saw a familiar figure at the door. It was Lance. There were gift bags on the floor beside him.

I was surprised to see him.

“Hey” I said to him.

Lance smiled softly. “You’re finally home.”

He looked genuinely concerned too.

“You came?” I asked quietly.

“Obviously.”

Klara immediately tugged my sleeve excitedly. “He brought SO many gifts.”

I blinked. “For who?”

“For everyone,” Lance answered casually.

That explained the mountain of colorful gift bags sitting near the entrance.

My eyes widened slightly. “Lance...”

“What?” he asked innocently. “I couldn’t visit empty-handed.”

Patricia leaned closer toward me while whispering dramatically, “He brought imported chocolates. I already approve of him.”

I elbowed her lightly. Lance laughed softly after noticing our interaction.

Honestly, his presence felt calming after everything lately.

Klara tugged my hand again impatiently. “Come inside already! I want to show you my presents.”

Before I could answer, she immediately dragged me toward the manor entrance herself.

“Slow down,” I laughed.

“No.”

Patricia sighed dramatically behind us. “That child definitely inherited Marco’s stubbornness.”
