The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 321

Chapter 0321 I should have been there , Nan whispered , lifting her gaze .

If Sammy hadnt told me what had happened … I wouldnt have known .

Im such a terrible best friend .

Why werent you there ? I found myself asking , needing a distraction .

I didnt want her to think she was at fault .

because I knew Judy wouldnt want that , but I needed to think about something else other than the fact that she was lying on an operating table right now .

I was dealing with something , Nan sighed , leaning back in her seat .

She ran her hands up her arm , like she was trying to warm herself and that was when I saw the handprint marks on her forearm .

Without thinking , I grabbed her wrist , careful not to hurt her .

She startled and turned her widening eyes in my direction .

Are those bruises ? I asked in a low tone .

She pulled her arms away and covered them with her sleeves .

Its nothing .

It was an accident , she told me a little too quickly .

An accident ? I asked .

Thats not an accident .

Who did that to you ? Its nobody , she told me , more adamantly this time .

Like I said … it was an accident .

He was angry and I went to walk away , and he grabbed my arm to stop me .

I bruise easily .noveldrama

Who ? I asked again , my tone was more forceful this time I was seconds away from using my Lycan powers on her and forcing the information out of her .

Look I know you are smitten with Judy or whatever , but that doesnt give you a right to pry into my personal life .

I dont want to talk about it .

Its not your concem , Alpha .

Sammy sucked in a sharp breath at her words , and I let out a low growl .

She clamped her lips shut and glanced at the ground , desperate to keep herself from looking at me .

I was clear Nan had no intention of telling me who had hurt her , and I knew the second Judy saw those bruises she was going to want to find out who it was and get to the bottom of it herself .

It might even put her in further danger .

If I find out who it was- I started to say through my teeth , the thought of Judy putting herself in a dangerous situation festered in my mind , making my thoughts jumble and my wolf agitated .

Nan interrupted my words by standing up abruptly .

If youll excuse me , Alpha Landry .

Without another word , she stepped away from me and hurried toward the other end of the waiting room .

I stared .

after her with my lips pressed … I thought about Irene and how I would react if something like that happened to her .

She was my daughter , and I would slaughter anyone who brought harm to her … same with Matthew .

Same with Judy … Sammy sat in Nans former seat .

Probably that guy shes been talking to , Sammy said with a shrug .
