Chapter 635
Taya’s fingers gripping Eric’s trousers shuddered non-stop, her pale face giving away the dazed look.
Slowly, she raised her head and looked at Eric, who had contempt written all over his face. “What… What happened to him?”
As he held Stella pounding on him down, Eric gave a cold snort.
“You don’t deserve to know!”
He kicked away Taya’s clinging hand, and with Stella on his shoulders, hurried toward the elevator.
The look of Taya helplessly lying on the ground flared guilt in
Stella’s heart.
She feared that with a few words of provocation from Eric, Taya
might choose to leave Alpha Knight again.
The two of them have come so far with great difficulty, so how
would she ever allow herself to incite their parting?
Once the thought crossed her mind, Stella’s eyes filled with
instant hatred. “Eric, I’ll make sure you regret it for the rest of your
life!”
Hearing so, Eric’s hand that was pressing onto her from behind
shuddered. He rem

wrapped his arms more tightly around her.
return,
“Stella, I just want to take you home, back to Wolverly Capital,
back to my side. Even if I might regret my choice for the rest of my
life, it doesn’t matter as long as you’re back to me,” he thought.
As the elevator door slid to a close, Stella watched as Taya
supported herself to get back up from the ground, intending to
make the final rush over.
Her heart warmed, and tears welled in her eyes. “Taya, don’t
worry, I’ll be back safely, wait for me.”
After the elevator door closed shut, the bodyguards retreated in
a flash. Henry was carried into the emergency room, while a kind
nurse inquired Taya if she was fine.
Taya shook her head, resisting the pain in her chest to grab the
railing of the corridor as she sta ggered toward the floor-to-ceiling
windows in unsteady footsteps.
Downstairs, after Eric carried Stella into the car, he fastened her
seatbelt, holding back his anger even if Stella had slapped him in
the face.
At the sight of the scene, Taya’s expression fell into a trance.
Emotions of sorrow and joy intertwined, overlapping and stirring
her heart.
She turned around and walked into the bathroom to turn on the tap and rinse her face with cold water before slowly, gazing at her
reflection in the mirror.
“Do you know what kind of life Silas has lived in Wolverly Capital these past few months?”
The words were like a deadly poison, playing in a loop in her ears, leaving her heart in restlessness.
With trembling fingers, Taya grabbed a few pieces of tissue and wiped off the water stains on her face before hurrying to leave the hospital.
The bodyguards waiting downstairs panicked at the sight of Taya’s bloodless face as she exited the elevator.
“Ms. Palmer, what’s the matter?”
The dazed Taya looked up at the leader of the bodyguards to see
that his face was full of worry and fear, so she hurriedly shook her
head at him.
“I’m fine.”
She had felt that it was just too much for her to crash into the
hospital with a whole lot of bodyguards, so she had told them to stay waiting for her.
Who knew she would run into the mad Eric, but fortunately, he
had done was to get rid of her.
Otherwise, the transplanted wolf spirit might not be able to bear
the impact…
The bodyguard breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her words.
“Ms. Palmer, where should we go now?”
Taya took out the car keys and handed them to the bodyguard.
“Take me home.”
In Harper’s villa, Taya entered the study before picking up the
measuring ruler and pen.
Her initial plan was to concentrate on completing the drawing
she took forever to finish, but as she drew on, more mistakes she
made, including messing up the structure…
In irritation, she threw the pen aside and picked up the phone to
tap on her contacts, but when she scrolled up to Silas, her fingers
paused.
She wanted to muster the courage for a phone call to ask about
how he was doing, but her mind flashed with Sil s’s words that
they were to never keep in contact again.
It was when she stared at the name in a daze that three texts
popped up…
ever bother you again.”
The second sentence was, “I’m living a good life, and I’m about to
mate Ms. Cooke.”
The third sentence was, “I wish you happiness.”
Seeing the three texts, Taya’s eyes grew red-rimmed.
Clutching the phone in hand, she typed her reply only after a long
hesitation.
“I’m sorry.”
“I wish you happiness too.”
In “I’m sorry”, it was to say that she had let go of Silas whom she loved since young…
In “I wish you the same”, it meant to hope for her boy to stay alive
and well…
