Chapter 38
chapter38
After staying in the hospital for a night, my high fever had completely subsided. I was still weak, but I could go home.
As soon as we got home, Harper went straight to the kitchen. I wanted to help, but Harper refused.
"Go to bed and rest. You need it. I'll take care of this."Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Harper waved her hand and drove me out of the room.
Sure, my fever had subsided-but my heart failure had worsened.
My chest felt tight, and I was in a lot of pain. Because my heart wasn't pumping enough blood throughout my body, which meant everything wasn't getting enough oxygen, I was weak and dizzy. I couldn't even stand without swaying. Even though I want to help Harper, I couldn't. There wasn't another choice for me but to go lie down.
After getting in bed, I fell right to sleep.
Almost.
Until my phone dinged with a text message. Entertainment news.
I knew so little about Griffon's schedule even when I was staying with him, so I'd started paying attention to some of the "celebrity entertainment" accounts after seeing that they occasionally covered the Knight pack Alpha.
I opened the text and clicked on the link. The paparazzi had snapped a picture of Griffon carrying Tara into the emergency room. The content reported that their old relationship had rekindled.
I scrolled down to the comments, and they all praised Griffon and Tara, from their looks to their money to their powerful pack standings... They all said that they were a perfect match.
And even I had to admit...they were. Griffon was like a gorgeous statue in a museum...close enough to touch, but you'd get your hand slapped if you did. While Tara was elegant, beautiful, and kind. They were indeed a good match that balanced each other out.
I smiled bitterly and swiped the text message to delete it. When I went to turn off the phone, I saw a text message from an unknown number that I'd missed while in the hospital.
I clicked on it.
What did you go to the hospital for yesterday?
I was stunned for a moment. How

I looked at the time. It was sent last night after I woke up in the hospital...
I read the message again and again, feeling disbelief.
The only person I had seen in the hospital fast night was Griffon. Did
he send it? But...he hadn't evenel.

My hands trembled as I typed, Who is this?
I hadn't thought that the other

second, there was a

text.
Answer me, it said.
My heart was pounding. The cold tone was similar to Griffon's.
However, intuition told me that he'd never text me like this.
Frowning, I typed, Who the hell are you?
This time, silence. Until almost an hour later.
Roman, it read.
I took a deep breath, almost relieved it wasn't Griffon.
Though...this wasn't Roman's phone number...
