Chapter 639


    Chapter 639


    The private jet arrived at the airport on time before a tall,


    intimidating man exited the airport under the protection of a group


    of bodyguards.


    After he got into the luxury car, he took out his personal mobile


    phone to call Taya when a pang of splitting headache struck him.


    That iparably handsome face was deathly pale to the


    point of losing all its blood in an instant, and so were the eyes


    bloodshot…


    He threw away the phone, and with trembling hands, rummaged


    for the painkillers prescribed by the medical director at


    Washington before shoving several of the pills into his mouth in


    one go.


    When one of the bodyguards in the front line saw that he was


    still in unbearable pain after having undergone treatment, he


    persuaded out of worry, “Alpha Knight, why don’t you have the


    surgery?”


    Surgery implied undergoing a craniotomy. Go d knew if he’d be able to wake up and recover from the


    surgery to see Taya once more? He would never agree to anything unpredictable.


    Enduring the pain, Griffon raised his bloodshot eyes to sweep his


    cold nce past t


    bodygu


    you ignore my orders?


    The bodyguard fell dead silent. Alpha Knight had given the instructions that no one was to mention his


    condition upon


    returning to the United States. He had gone overboard. “I’m


    sorry.”


    Griffon withdrew his cold gaze and raised his knuckle-bo ned


    hands to massage his temples, quietly waiting for the medicine to


    take effect…


    When the headache no longer hurt as much, the car stopped at


    the entrance of the vi. Griffon braced all his strength to exit the


    car and stride into the bathroom.


    After washing up, he entered the cloakroom to pick out a formal


    ck suit and got a hair stylist to deal with his thick hair.


    It was only when he saw that the man in the mirror was no longer


    as pale and eyes as red-rimmed did he open the safe.


    Very carefully, he withdrew the three items stored, a scarf, a


    photo, and a diamond ring.


    With much caution, he inserted the items into a box and walked


    out of the vi carefully holding onto them…


    He wanted to be the only one to take Taya to Find, so he didn’t


    get the bodyguards to tag along. After ordering them to stand by, he drove to Harper’s vi by himself.


    Mandy hurried to open the door after seeing that it was Griffon.


    “Alpha Knight, Ms. Palmer is working on her drawings in the study. I’ll go get her…”


    Griffon nodded to Mandy. “Thank you.”


    Mandy was really fond of the Alpha. Not only was he polite and a gentleman, and he was, too, good-


    looking. The cherry on top was


    the love he devoted to Taya.


    Being extremely satisfied, Mandy returned a smile before she turned and walked into the study. “Ms.


    Palmer, Alpha Knight is


    here,e out quickly…”


    When Mandy pushed the door open and failed to see Ms. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Palmer’s figure, her words stopped halfway through.


    Mandy let out a gasp, puzzled. “Strange, isn’t Ms. Palmer always in the study? Where is she?”


    Griffon, waiting outside the door, saw Mandy leaving the study


    and walking up to the upper floor. His face sank as he stepped


    over.


    With one step onto the first floor, he saw Mandying out of the


    bedroom frowning. He sped up forward to ask, “Is she not here?”


    Mandy nodded, a little confused. “Ms. Palmer is not in the study,


    nor is she in the bedroom, where did she go?”


    Griffon’ heart sk ip ped a beat. A sense of uneasiness poured down upon him, filling his starry eyes


    with panic in an instant.


    He dashed to the study room. In front of therge wooden desk,


    no trace of Taya was found, only rolled up drawings.


    Griffon had long been thrown into panic, but he had to calm


    himself down. After sending Mandy to retrieve the surveince


    footage, he returned to the car to fetch his phone.


    He swiftly reached for his mobile phone to call Taya, but even after


    making several calls, no one answered…


    The sound of the beeping and automated voice from the receiver


    sent the flustered Griffon trembling with fear.


    He had told Taya that he woulde to pick her up, so she


    wouldn’t wander around, unless anything were to have happened.


    Calming his frantic self down, he raised his fingers and waved at the group of bodyguards waiting


    outside the vi.


    He didn’t have time to use the bodyguards of not protecting


    Taya. Instead, his icy voice rang out. “Go and find Taya. If you all


    can’t find her, get lost!”
