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 POVTabitha was sent to the hospital again for checks that day. Kamp glanced at the cancer spectrum and various CT and MRI data that came out.Orson's brows furrowed tighter as he looked, "The chemotherapy she underwent two years ago was very effective, but this time the effect is minimal. The cancer cells have begun to invade other surrounding tissues. Tabitha's body can't withstand chemotherapy anymore. It will only increase her physical burden and accelerate her death."This statement was almost a death sentence for Tabitha. Derek clenche
Third person's POVSpeaking of which, Andrea and Megan were cousins. It seemed that due to their blood relation, both had once been highly blind when it came to love."Seems you've finally cured your eyes and stopped chasing after a piece of broken stone as if it were a treasure," Megan said, holding a fan and lazily fanning herself.Her every gesture exuded charm.After a long time without meeting, her first sentence directly hit Andrea's sore spot.
Third person's POVA flicker of curiosity flashed in Megan's eyes, "Oh? Why do you suddenly need this?""It's pretty ridiculous, though. My foolish son, Derek, blinded by love, stubbornly used this drug on his mate. However, he didn't know she had wolfsbane and now, she got cancer. His mate is on the brink of death. You've been studying this drug for years. For the sake that we're all family, you must help me."Upon hearing this, the fear and tension on Elena's face instantly vanished, replaced by a more sinister expression.
Third person's POVAndrea gazed at Elena's face, no longer seeing any traces of burns.She had heard that Elena had undergone dozens of skin graft surgeries to achieve her current appearance. Andrea's heart was filled with compassion.If it weren't for her mental turmoil, how could she have harmed a child as dear as her daughter?"Let's go back. She's doing well now. Developing drugs is her passion, and your presence will only hurt her," Megan advised.
Third person's POVSunlight gently poured in from the window, casting a warm golden glow on Derek as he sat against the light. He was like a deity.His rugged features appeared unusually tender in the halo of light. He sat quietly, surrounded by fine particles of dust dancing in the sunlight.For a moment, time seemed to reverse, as if returning to the day they first met.However, just a few years had passed. An insurmountable chasm now lay between them. The beauty of the pa
Third person's POVJenny's face lit up with joy upon hearing Tabitha's request to eat.Tabitha had barely had any appetite for the past week. So, this was a positive sign.Little did Jenny know that Tabitha still didn't want to eat. She was forcing herself to, all for the sake of survival.Watching Tabitha eat voraciously, Jenny felt very relieved, "Yes, eat more, the stronger your resistance will be."
Tabitha's POVAt the time, Klein was always masked. As the boss behind Wellness Corp, his identity was bound to be little known. Perhaps even his own family wasn't aware.I could only probe from the sidelines.Sure enough, Dwayne scratched his head in distress, "Wellness Corp? What's that?""Nothing, just a casual question," I replied. "Is Klein's condition very bad?"I recalled the haggard fa
Third person's POVAlvin froze, panic rising. "Sorry, Alpha Derek's delirious," he blurted, terrified of offending Doctor Venessa."Get his clothes off and put him in the tub," Tabitha instructed, turning away to sort herbs."Fully?" Alvin asked, unsure."Fully," Tabitha confirmed, her voice flat.Alvin hesitated, then stripped Derek bare.Tabitha's mind flashed with memories of Derek's body—the same one she'd once known intimately.Compared to when she'd left, Derek's physique was more muscular.When she'd gripped his waist earlier, she'd distinctly felt the elasticity and definition of his muscles.Now, with his clothes removed, several new scars were visible across his chest.She'd watched him from afar over the years, always avoiding contact, always ensuring she remained invisible to him.Several times over the years, Derek had nearly crossed paths with Tabitha during missions. Each time, she deli
Third person's POVTabitha was used to Alvin calling her by name. Hearing him call her "doctor" made her wince."Use a different name," she said."May I know your name, Doctor?""Vanessa."Wait, what?Alvin nearly choked. "You're Vanessa? The all-around physician?"An "all-around physician" was a rarity—doctors usually specialized.But Vanessa wasn't just rare. She was legendary.Alvin had first heard her name last year when she became one of the few surgeons capable of performing interdental artificial cornea surgery.The procedure was so complex it required collaboration across dental, ophthalmological, and radiological fields.Yet Vanessa, a twenty-something newcomer, pulled it off.Media swarmed, patients flocked—but she vanished.Then came a high-risk heart surgery, again under her name.Another worldwide sensation.Reporters chased shadows. She remained elusive,
Third person's POVA cold female voice cut through the tension, "One more tear and you're out. You're deafening."Misha's open mouth froze mid-sob, the comical expression plastered on her face.She glanced around, finally noticing the unfamiliar woman in the room. "Who is she?" she demanded."This is the miracle doctor who can save Alpha Derek. Show some respect," Rolf warned, wary of Misha's infamous temper flaring up again.Despite her pride, Misha's love for Derek was genuine.She quickly composed herself. "Of course, Doctor. I entrust my Derek to you," she said, the possessive words slipping out before she could catch them.Rolf's eyebrow twitched. Since when was Derek "hers"?Alma appeared in the doorway. "You're back.""Yes," the woman replied, her tone neutral."Let me introduce everyone. These folks are here for treatment. The young man's poisoned—Nine-Heart Wolfsbane, nearly dead. The hysterical one
Third person's POVRolf's eyes were red and puffy from crying. "What's Alpha Derek trying to do?" he blubbered."Let him have this one last moment of freedom," Alvin said, holding Rolf back.The mountain wind chilled their tears, but Derek couldn't feel it anymore.His knees shook with every movement, each step draining what little strength he had left.Still, he didn't give up, gritting his teeth and forcing one foot in front of the other.The child stood bathed in sunlight—just a few steps away, and he could hold her.What should've been a quick stride took dozens of seconds, maybe longer.Hedwig stood with her back to him, pigeons swirling around her. A speckled one landed on her finger, cooing.Hedwig's eyes lit up—her mom was back!She spun around to see Derek lurching toward her, unsteady and lifeless yet driven by sheer will.He reached out, fingers trembling, when his body swayed dangero
Third person's POVWhy did it have to be Derek?Alvin's fists tightened as he stared at the horizon. Derek had lived with a clear conscience—except for Tabitha. He didn't deserve this end.But Alvin wasn't a healer. All he could do was watch as Derek's breaths grew shallower, his skin paler.The bell tinkled again—Hedwig had followed them here.When they finally stopped, Alvin eased Derek against a gnarled pine, its needles pricking Derek's back like needles of ice."This spot's good," Alvin said, voice cracking. "You'll see the sunrise."Derek nodded weakly. "Good."The mountain wind bit through Derek's coat, but it cleared his head a little."Alvin... my biggest regret was letting Daphne's demands tear Tabitha and me apart. If I hadn't blamed her for Silver Moon Pack's problems... none of this would've happened.""Alpha Derek, you had your reasons," Alvin said, though the words felt hollow."R
Third person's POVHedwig couldn't speak, but she was wise beyond her years—quiet, helpful, and already versed in basic healing.Derek wished he could play with her, but time was slipping through his fingers. After eating the fruit she'd given him, he picked up his pen again.All night, he didn't rest.He could feel the life Hedwig had breathed into him fading. His senses were dulling again.But the will was done. Now, he only wanted to write letters—to Tabitha, to his kids, Kyrian, Helios and Ayla.The poison was moving faster than it should've. Every letter cost him energy, accelerating the venom's grip.First, he wrote to Kyrian. "Be a good man. Lead the pack with your heart, not just your claws."Derek's chest ached. He'd failed Kyrian, leaving him to shoulder the pack's weight alone.But love? That never faded.Next, his mother.The letter was short—"Take care of Kyrian. If Tabitha ev
Third person's POVAt the mention of the word "will," Rolf's face, which had been tense for days, crumpled. His eyes instantly reddened."Alpha Derek, you don't need a will! You're gonna be fine, you hear me?!"But at this moment, Derek became calm. "I don't have much time left. It took me a lot of effort to get to this camp. Even if I leave, it would take a day. What's the point of leaving if she comes back right after I go? It's better to stay here. If she doesn't come back in the end, I at least need to settle things, I can't just die without any explanation.""Alpha Derek...""Alvin, go get it," Derek said.Alvin's eyes welled up. "Alright."Alban, with red eyes, said, "I'm sorry, kid. I couldn't help you this time.""Dr. Weaver, I'm already grateful to you. You're right, there are some things beyond our control. I guess this is just my fate."In just two days, Derek had gone from a healthy man to someone whose organ
Third person's POVAlma felt a bit awkward. "I'm not sure about that."After all, Hedwig was Derek's spitting image, but she wasn't certain about Hedwig's father."Regardless, he already has other women by his side. He might have forgotten your mother and could build a future with someone else. Even so, do you still want to save him?"Hedwig pursed her lips and didn't respond. Alma stroked her hair, "Poor child, you should know how hard your mother worked to escape him. If he discovers you two are still alive, he'll imprison her again. Do you want that?"Hedwig shook her head gently."Then pretend you don't know him. Your mother and the others aren't in the village. Whether he survives is up to luck," Alma sighed, "Your mother suffered too much. She was barely alive when she gave birth to you. Cherish the life you have now."Hedwig nodded.Strangely, after Derek drank Hedwig's blood, about half an hour later, his vision and hea
Third person's POVThe door swung open.Misha stared at Alma with wide eyes, thinking her sincerity had finally moved her.But the next moment, Alma unhesitatingly lifted a basin of water and splashed it over her, drenching her from head to toe. "Stop making a fuss here! Don't try to coerce me with such theatrics. Whether you stay or do something more extreme, it has nothing to do with me. If you're looking for trouble, take it elsewhere, not here!"Misha stood there, stunned. How could Mrs. Atkinson act so unreasonably?"Why are you staring at me like that? Do you think this is a soap opera?" Alma sneered, "Now leave before you soil my place."As she spoke, she shielded Hedwig's eyes, "Don't look, or it might ruin your mood."Misha returned, drenched and furious, cursing under her breath, "Why is this old woman so difficult? She didn't have to help, but did she have to throw urine at me?"Rolf pinched his nose and stepped back
