    Chapter 224


    Breathing in the fresh oxygen made Taya feel like a fish that had been out of water for too long,


    suddenly returning to the pond and regaining a new life.


    She grabbed the oxygen mask and desperately inhaled.


    Seeing that her face had regained a hint of color, Griffon’s furrowed brow started to unwrinkle slightly.


    He looked at Ste, who was examining Taya. “How is she?” he


    asked.


    After listening for a while, Ste felt something was wrong with Taya’s heart.


    “The oxygen has helped a bit, but I need to examine her further and run some tests.”


    Taya’s heart didn’t sound healthy at all, and given how she looked and her symptoms, Ste was sure it


    was some type of heart failure. But she didn’t dare to say anything in front of Griffon before she had


    conclusive test results.


    “Run everything. I need to know exactly what’s wrong with her,” Griffon demanded with a growl, letting


    themanding


    tone of his Alpha seep through.


    Ste nodded. “I’ll go make the arrangements.”


    Hearing their conversation, Taya gave up struggling.


    Her illness could no longer be hidden. If Griffon knew, then let


    him know.


    After Ste left, Griffon took out his phone and called Andre. “Two things. Remove the hotel’s


    surveince footage and s hut Jackson’s m outh up.”


    “Yes, Alpha,” Andre replied respectfully.


    Only then did Griffon put down his phone and look at Taya. “Why didn’t you tell me you had a heart


    attack?”


    His expression was as unmoved as ever, as if he was not worried about her illness but instead med


    her for hiding it.


    Seeing his unconcerned expression, the little ripples stirred up in Taya’s heart gradually faded.


    She raised her hand and wanted to remove the oxygen mask to speak, but he grabbed her wrist.


    “Don’t move.”


    Griffon’s Alpha voice rang in Taya’s ears, sparking hope that he actually cared. She pressed down on


    her chest, trying to control the frequency of her heartbeat, but she was frightened by Griffon, who


    suddenly leaned over. His tall andrge, muscr body, with its stifling sense of oppression, hit Taya,


    making her unconsciously shrink her neck backward and into the pillow. If he noticed her shrinking


    away from him, he gave no indication. He pressed her down on the bed even more, lowered his head,


    and stared at her pale face. “Are you still feeling unwell?” he asked softly. It was rare for Griffon to


    show care for her like this. Actually, it could be said that he had never been so concerned about her


    before. This unexpected gentleness made Taya extremely ufortable.


    She pressed her body tightly against the hospital bed despite the pain, only heaving a sigh of relief


    when she had managed to put another inch between them.


    She lowered her head and said softly, “My back…”


    She looked well-behaved and quiet, the same as when she

    had been with him, as if she had never changed. Griffon’s cold expression softened slightly. He undid


    her coat and looked at her back.


    The three dark red marks of the iron rod almost sank into her flesh. It was as if he could see the marks


    of broken bones. *** “What the goddess happened?” Griffon’s expression was deadly.


    “Did Jackson hit you?”


    Taya quickly shook her head. “Not him. Roman…”


    Griffon frowned. “I don’t understand. Exin.”


    Taya had no choice but to tell him everything that had happened in the hotel.


    As soon as Griffon knew she hadn’t had s ex with Jackson, his furrowed brows slightly rxed.


    However, when he heard that she was almost vited by the


    pack guards brought by Roman, his eyebrows tightly knitted. together again.


    Without thinking, he took out his phone and made another


    call. “Joe, deal with Roman!”


    Mr. Chilton quickly replied dutifully, “Yes.”


    Taya looked at Griffon, shocked that he would help her deal


    with Roman.


    Did he help her because he found out that the woman he had slept with almost vited by someone


    else or because he cared about her?


    Thinking of Mr. Chilton of the Knight Pack that Roman had mentioned, she couldn’t help but ask, “Is


    that Joe… Mr. Chilton?”


    Hearing this, Griffon’s expression didn’t change much, but his eyes narrowed. He nodded slightly in


    response.


    When Taya saw him nod, her face darkened. Roman said she conspired with Mr. Chilton to trick him


    and suspected Mr. Chilton was Greyson.


    What did this mean? She wanted to ask Griffon, but she didn’t want him to know that she had slept with


    Greyson.


    She was afraid that Griffon would be angry, afraid that he would think she was promiscuous, and even


    more afraid of his verbal insults, so she didn’t dare to bring it up.
