Chapter 302
Harper said nothing else, just went to find a cool
washcloth.
Jackson stood at the door and looked at the petite, weak body on the hospital bed. Tears filled his eyes.
He steadied his trembling body, clenched his fists,
and walked to the bed slowly.
Taya felt that someone was approaching. She
thought that it was Harper, so she reached out to
grab their clothes.
“Harper…”
Before she could touch anything, a large hand caught hers.
The hand was trembling slightly. He seemed to have much to say, but he couldn’t. He could only hold Taya’s hand and didn’t let go.
The image of Griffon’s handsome face appeared, but
she felt it couldn’t be him.
Taya tried to call out, “Silas…”
Jackson didn’t expect her to recognize him and didn’t let go of her hand.
This made him feel a little guilty. He clenched Taya’s
hand tightly and sat before the hospital bed.
He didn’t say anything, just touched Taya’s cheek and
carefully traced it from top to bottom.
She didn’t push him away, and her heart was calm.
After a few minutes, Jackson said hoarsely, “Taya…”
He gently called her name as if he was calling his
beloved.
Taya asked softly, “Why are you back…?”
Jackson smiled bitterly. “I felt like something was wrong, so I came back to see you…”
He had been very agitated in the past two days, and his heart kept beating as something had happened. All he knew was that his wolf was on edge more so
than ever before, urging him to go back to Arcadia
and find Taya.
He went to her house and waited for a whole night.
No one came or went, and Taya and Harper did not
answer the phone. He had to find Stella to learn that
Taya was in the hospital.
He was glad that he was here. Otherwise, he would
regret it for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, he was
the one who caused her illness…
He held her hand, put it to his lips, and kissed it
gently. “Taya, I’m sorry…”
Taya guessed that he had heard her conversation with Harper.
Now in the face of his apology, she no longer felt
anything. Perhaps she had let go of many things
when she was close to death.
In the past, she could not see through life and
death, but now she felt that there was nothing to be
persistent about in life.
