Third person's POVTabitha replied lightly, "I guess she was really desperate. Who else would steal flowers from a hospital unless they had no other options?""I see too many oddballs these days, folks who've lost their moral compass. Ms. Hartley, you get some good rest now," the head nurse said as she closed the door behind her and stepped out.Before long, Tabitha felt her eyelids growing heavy, and she thought she heard the door creak open once more.She was swallowed by
Third person's POVKyrian now possessed independent consciousness and had learned to think for himself.His initial response to the slap was not to wail but to be perplexed.He couldn't fathom what he had done to warrant Daphne's slap.A handprint swiftly materialized on his small face, and his right cheek instantly swelled and flushed red.Once Daphne's fury subsided, she was immediately cons
Third person's POVChloe had been Daphne's side for years, yet she had never witnessed Daphne in such a state of humility and despair.Daphne's tears flowed incessantly as she sobbed, "I'm parentless, homeless, and I'll never rise again in this life. All I have left are these two children. If Derek finds out, he'll never let me see them."With a desperate grip on Chloe's pant leg, Daphne pleaded with a struggle that was palpable. Chloe could only muster a weak assurance, "This won't happen again."
Third person's POVDerek had been trying for a long time to extract information from Alpha Elliott but to no avail.According to various sources, Shana was believed to have sought refuge near the Black Thorn Pack, using a false identity. However, she disappeared during the chaos that ensued.Derek was growing increasingly frustrated as Jasper had yet to hear any news. If this continued, Tabitha would be a dead end, the only difference being whether she died sooner or later.
Third person's POVAfter a week in the hospital, Tabitha checked out.She had recovered enough to move around on her own. But her red and white blood cell counts were critically low.She felt dizzy every day. She was too weak.However, leaving the hospital was a relief for her.Tabitha returned to the Greenwood family's villa. Jenny pushed her wheelchair and said, "Luna Tabitha, Alpha Derek ha
Third person's POVSeeing Tabitha feeling down, Jenny comforted her, "You haven't been eating well for all these days. Andrea cooked for you since you finally have an appetite."Tabitha nodded, not taking the wheelchair. She slowly made her way to the living room.Andrea, wearing an apron, said, "Sit down, the meal will be ready soon."On the dining table, an exquisite white jade vase held freshly picked flowers. Every leaf was vibrant and fresh.
Third person's POVKamp had been busy with Tabitha's affairs and finally uncovered a top-secret piece of news.His assistant approached with a bottle, "Kamp, Andrea sent this. She wants you to test what kind of dog food it is.""Dog food?" Kamp glanced at the bottle. It was too small to hold dog food. What kind of dog can be so small-appetite with such little dog food?"It might be some kind of dog supplement. They can't determine it, so they asked you to test it."
Third person's POVIf Tabitha were to remember everything from the past, she would undoubtedly despise Derek even more.However, Andrea's words made sense. Tabitha's sudden deterioration was due to M-1. If there was a way to halt this drug, perhaps it could control the worsening of her wolfsbane.Despite his reluctance, Derek knew he had to act. He couldn't bear to see Tabitha suffer any longer."Alright, I will have the doctors reassess. Please take care of Tabitha."
Third person's POV"Tabitha, how long have you known Lucian? Do you understand his background? Or rather, since he is neither a relative nor an acquaintance, why would he help you? There is no such thing as unselfish kindness in this world. Most of it is mixed with interests. Do you think he has ulterior motives towards you?"Tabitha was taken aback by Derek's series of questions and didn't know how to answer for a moment, only able to stammer, "I...""Tabitha, we have known each other for many years and understand each other well. Lucian helped us take care of the children, and we should be grateful to him. But if you want to leave with him, are you sure this is the right path? Think not only for yourself but also for the children. What they really want is a stable life or a wandering one?"Derek's ability to control people's hearts was too strong. With just a few words, he hit Tabitha's soft spot - the children."If it's because of me that you've come to t
Third person's POVBoth of them avoided discussing heavy topics during the meal. It wasn't until after finishing eating that Tabitha picked up a napkin, wiped the corners of her mouth, and then broached the main subject."What are your plans?" Tabitha asked."Tabitha, I've already found some clues about Jasper, but with the news of you being alive spreading, it's not safe to stay in Seattle anymore. I won't insist on you staying by my side, but at least you need to protect yourself and the children's safety. How about going to Hawaii? It's very safe there," Derek said sincerely."Do you want me to hide there for the rest of my life?" Tabitha frowned and questioned."At least for now, until I find out her identity..." Derek explained."As long as I don't show up, she will never reveal herself. Am I supposed to hide forever?" Tabitha interrupted him.Tabitha put down the small spoon in her hand, looked at Derek seriously, and said, "Derek, let's be f
Third person's POVTabitha closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if trying to calm her emotions. After a while, she opened her eyes again and asked, "Were you also involved that night on the boat?""Yes," Derek replied without hesitation."Is Wilmot your man?" Tabitha's voice carried a hint of doubt.Derek paused for a moment, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes, before slowly answering, "Yes, I was just too worried about you, so I had him go to protect you.""Then do you know what we..." Tabitha's words were cut short as Derek suddenly slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a stop on the side of the road.He turned to look at Tabitha, his eyes filled with sincerity and urgency, and said, "Tabitha, I am very clear about what happened that night. He was there to help you."Tabitha did not believe Derek's words. Her eyes were filled with anger and disappointment as she shouted, "Wilmot disappeared as soon as he came back. Forrest told me last night that he was dying. Was that y
Third person's POVDerek never expected that as soon as Tabitha returned, he would receive a call from Gloria.On the other end of the line, Gloria's voice came through, "Tabitha wants to see you."Hearing this, Derek's heart sank, and he sighed, thinking to himself, 'I knew it. I couldn't hide it from her.'On an evening with snowflakes drifting down, the sky was shrouded in gloom, and the snow fell gently, covering the entire world in a silver-white veil.Tabitha wrapped her coat tightly and saw Derek again.Since her staged death, Tabitha had only seen Derek through news reports.Now, as she approached him, she was surprised to find that he had become much thinner, his figure appearing particularly frail.Derek was dressed in a black coat, leaning quietly against the car. In just a minute, snowflakes began to fall on his head, accumulating a thin layer of white snow.Tabitha took a deep breath, calming her emotions, and then walked towards Derek.Looking at Derek, her eyes carried
Third person's POVGloria held Helios on her lap, skillfully peeling a grape and feeding it to him, her experience with children evident."Feeling better now that it's out," she said, watching the child play quietly nearby.Tabitha casually inquired, "Why did you hold back on the day we met, only to tell me today?"Gloria had her excuse ready, responding, "You had just returned to the States, and I didn't know your situation. I was afraid it would cause you trouble."Tabitha peeled a few more grapes before setting them aside when Helios indicated he'd had enough.She then looked at Gloria and said slowly, "You weren't afraid of causing me trouble. You were afraid I would leave, weren't you?"Gloria was taken aback, about to argue, but Tabitha saw through her, "Every time you lie, you subconsciously avert your gaze, fearing I'll see through you."Gloria, in a fit of exasperation, covered her face with a blanket, "You two are tru
Third person's POVDerek's face contorted with pain as he continued, "After Tabitha faked her death, I suspected what had happened. I was torn at the time, wanting to bring her back, but I also understood that doing so would only repeat past mistakes. So, I protected her within my control and waited silently. Gloria, I swear, I won't hurt her again."A hint of pleading appeared on Derek's face as he went on, "I'm asking for your help not out of selfishness. Tabitha's illness isn't fully healed, her body hasn't recovered, and with two children in tow, she wouldn't be able to protect herself if danger arises."Gloria had never seen Derek so humble.She remembered how Derek had always approached her with a condescending attitude four years ago.Derek continued, "You are Tabitha's friend, and your starting point should be considering her safety, right? If I wanted to harm her, I could just bring her back directly, so why would I go through the trouble
Third person's POVThe two children were a blend of their parents. The girl resembled Derek, while the boy took after Tabitha, which was quite different from their brother, Kyrian.Derek thought to himself that if Kyrian knew he had two younger siblings, he would be thrilled.But when he considered his relationship with Tabitha, he sighed deeply, filled with regret for his past actions.At that moment, Alvin approached swiftly and reported, "Just received news from the island. Noah is taking Ayla away, and Lucian's direction also leads to the island. He plans to take Tabitha away."Derek, with his hands behind his back and a furrowed brow, spoke with a melancholic expression, "Lucian intends to take more than just Ayla—Tabitha as well. She has always sought opportunities to leave me, and this presents her with an excellent chance.""What should we do? Should we stop him now? Otherwise, with his capabilities, if he truly takes Tabitha a
Third person's POVPlans... Tabitha's original goal had been to find her two children and Jasper.The children were found, but Jasper was without a trace.However, she couldn't search aimlessly without a target.Thinking of Derek's anxious appearance last night, it was clear he still had feelings for her.Gloria's text warning Tabitha to be careful of Derek came to Tabitha's mind again.Tabitha felt she had overlooked some subtle details. What exactly had she missed?It seemed a key point was missing, and once found, it would connect all the events."I don't know. I just wanted to find the children, but I didn't expect to court death. And Derek's attitude towards me is ambiguous. Outside this cabin, I don't know what awaits me," Tabitha said, her face full of entanglement.Seeing her struggle, Lucian took a big gulp of mineral water and mustered the courage to say, "Have you severed ties with him?"Tabitha nodded,
Third person's POVDerek had painstakingly built up Tabitha's trust by posing as Wilmot.He knew that if she ever discovered his true identity, her anger would be immense, and the trust he had spent half a year constructing would crumble entirely.Derek continued, "Send someone to discreetly protect her without revealing themselves. Ayla is still on the island. Tabitha will go to see her."Rolf nodded in agreement, "Understood."Derek added with caution, "Remember, Lucian has a strong ability to detect surveillance, so do not get too close."Rolf responded, "Yes, Alpha Derek. We will handle it immediately."Turning to Alvin, Derek instructed, "Investigate the identities of those deceased men thoroughly."Derek pondered whether Tabitha's survival had been leaked, perhaps when she was seen on the boat.The assailants had been ruthless, and if not for Lucian's timely arrival, Tabitha could have been in grave danger. He had
