Chapter 78
I bit my lip as I tried to control the trembling of my body.
The voice that I love to hear yet does not want to hear keeps ringing in my mind. I looked at the window
and sighed bitterly.
ke’s voice could easily stir my emotions like this… What am I supposed to do?
His voice was filled with yearning and desperation. A madness to which I might not even be able to
resist.
After squeezing my hands until my palms were almost wounded by my nails, I took a deep breath and
finally answered ke’s call.
“ke…” I tried to be as calm as possible, so as to not provoke him into intruding on the Red Moon
Pack.
“Chloe! I knew it! You are here!” As if he could not contain his excitement, ke’s voice immediately
filled my head.
But that was only for a few moments, as his next words were filled with anxiousness and caution,
“Chloe… I already knew the reason why you left. I just want to ask if I can see you…”
“I… I want to see you Chloe… I want us to talk about the matter of detoxifying your wolf… this time… I
won’t hold back the truth from you anymore…”
“Chloe… please?” ke’s pleading seemed to work like a chain in my heart, effectively gripping it so
that I could feel as much heartache as he was feeling at the moment.
I held my breath and clenched my fist once more.
I cannot give in at this moment, when there are many things that were at stake.
“ke… You have once promised me that you would no longer lie to me…” I answered, as I
remembered the first time he vowed to me not to lie anymore.
“You promised me ke… I trusted you… and you know what would happen if you did it again…”
“Chloe… I… please let me exin… I just do not want you to worry about me… I…” ke seemed to
panic as soon as I answered him.
The desperation emerged once more… which could powerfully break my will at the moment.
I subconsciously held my abdomen and remembered my resolve.
“ke… I do not know how to face you at the moment. Especially now that I already know the truth. I
can’t and will never allow you to sacrifice yourself to cure me and my wolf.”
“Just like how you stubbornly refused to use my blood to cure the poison in your body back then…”
“I can’t ke… I really can’t…” I replied with determination.
“Chloe, please…” ke seemed to know where my words would go, but I still beat him so say things
first.
“ke… Let me stay in the Red Moon pack in peace. I assure you that I am living well and fine in this
ce.”
With those words, I quickly cut off our connection and did not wait for ke’s reply.
Tears ran down my face as soon as I said my piece. I hugged myself to control my emotions and the
pain that I was feeling.
The Moon Goddess knows how hard it was for me to forcefully stay away from my mate, who was my
other half.
I did not know how I ended up sleeping, however, I was awoken by someone who hurriedly came over
to my prison cell early in the morning.
Apparently, n managed to wake father up ording to my instructions, and my father wanted to see
me.
Without dying any further, I stood up and rushed to his side.
In his room, Vanessa and Lisa were already inside looking after my father worriedly.
Vanessa was obviously unhappy to see me, but I couldn''t care less.
The only thing that matters to me now is my father’s condition.
Without waiting for my father to speak, I went near him to check his condition. However when I finished
my diagnosis, my heartpletely sank.
Father’s condition became worse.
I looked at my father, who seemed to know the truth even without me saying,
But he turned his head and looked at Vanessa with anger and reproach.
“I am very disappointed in you Vanessa! To think that you, the Alpha of this pack, had to imprison your
sister without any valid reason at all! It is so unbing of you to do that!”
Vanessa shuddered, she did not expect that the first thing my father would do when he woke up was to
reprimand her of his actions.
“Father… I only…” Vanessa tried to speak, but he was immediately interrupted by father.
“I do not need your reasons! If the reason is what you wanted to give, why did you not use the same
when you decided to jail your sister without warning?”
“If you still want your position to be stable and respected, I will tell you one thing Vanessa, never ever
put Chloe into prison again!” Father’s voice is filled with warning, which one would even forget that he
was bedridden at the moment.
His authority and power still effectively made Vanessa reluctantly agree as she clenched her fist and
Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
muttered, “I promise father… it is my mistake… I apologize.”
After a while, Vanessa and Lisa went on to carry their duties in the pack, while I stayed to keep watch
of their father''s condition.
The two asked but I decided not to tell anyone about my father''s condition.
“Father… shall I call the pack doctor to check on you?” As I know that I am out of options, I looked at
my father and proposed calling for the doctor.
But my father shook his head and said, “There’s no use in calling him. I know my condition very well
Chloe…”
Father’s gentle expression which is free of me towards my ipetence made me feel lost until it
was already evening.
In the midst of my contemtion, n suddenly came and visited.
“n, thank you for helping me wake father up…” I looked at him and sincerely expressed my
gratitude.
“How is he Chloe?” n asked.
I smiled bitterly and shook my head, “Even when he woke up, his body could no longerst long… I am
afraid he might die at any moment… I don’t know what to do now as well…”
“I am really out of options.”
I mumbled as I felt my eyes heat up. Tears were forming in my eyes but I am unwilling to pour it out to
someone at the moment.
“Chloe… do not me yourself… I know you did your best…” nforted, he was about to raise
his hand but awkwardly decided against it.
He continued to say, “In fact, ording to the pack leader, he would have been gone days after you
came back in the pack… but because of you… he was still able to be fine until now…”
“Even the former Alpha himself knew that Chloe… so you do not have to beat yourself up.”
His words really did seem to bring a sense offort to me. After a while, my mind calmed down and
looked at him thankfully once more.
After that, n stood up and politely asked.
“Chloe, would you like to follow me to some ce? I need you to meet someone of great importance.”
He said out of nowhere.
“Someone of great importance?” I looked at n with a puzzled expression.
Who might that person be?
