Chapter 36 "But what?" The doctor adjusted his glasses as if he was finding it difficult to say what he wanted to say. "But what, doctor? Go ahead and tell me what happened to my son!" I half-yelled. "Please, Mr. Can I talk to you for a moment?" The doctor faced Henry, who then faced me. "Hold on, Alisha, let me have a word with the doctor. Calm down, okay?" Henry told me. I shook my head, indicating no; I wasn't going to let them say anything behind my back. "Say whatever you have to say here! Daniel is my son, and I deserve to know whatever happens to him!" I insisted. "Fine, he was brought in here a little too late. I noticed he's having kidney failure; he will need a donor. He's a kid, so we should act very fast if we want him to survive this stage. Although he's fine, he's unconscious, and I can't guarantee you he will be waking up anytime soon. From what I've noticed, he might stay in that state for up to three months. Well, just focus on getting a donor for him while you
Chapter 37Alisha's POVI peeped into the hospital room from outside since the doctor ordered me to remain outside.Seeing my son lying down unconscious made me tired.I blame myself for agreeing to go with Henry in the first place. I should have refused to go inside when I saw that building. My instincts kept telling me something was off about that building, but I still chose to ignore it. Now look at where it has ended up.A nurse walked out from the door, closing it behind her."How's my son doing?" I asked the nurse, but she ignored my question and walked away. Soon after, she returned holding a plate filled with medical supplies."Nurse, is everything okay? How is my son doing?" She glared at me in anger."Stop disturbing me, madam! You can see we are trying our best. I'm tired already; don't add to my anger!" she blurted rudely before entering the room again.A tear slipped down my cheek. What did I do wrong? Why was she yelling at me? Did I do wrong by asking how my son was far
Chapter 38"He will die if we don't find a match for him after one week." My heart skipped."Tell me it's a joke. Tell me nothing will happen to my son.""I can't assure you that, ma'am, but we are trying our best.""Please, doctor, you can just take my own and give it to him," I blurted."Well, I'm sorry, ma'am, but at this moment you aren't fit because of your condition. You already look sick. Taking one of your kidneys is like giving you a death sentence," the doctor explained."But doctor," I protested."What about your husband? Can't we use his?" the doctor questioned."He only has one, and he's not the father," I replied sadly.While Drake gave one of his kidneys to his late wife, who later died."Then what of the boy's father? Go get his father; he is in a better position to save the boy." My eyes widened. How the hell was I supposed to go to the father? That's impossible."The father and I are no longer together," I managed to say."That doesn't matter now, miss. If you want y
Chapter 39Writer's POV "Wait? Did he just mention that my son is sick? Why didn't she tell me about it? Does she prefer losing him to letting me know about it? Does she hate me that much?" Darien asked Wren, who chuckled."You expect her to tell you after everything you did to her? Come on, Darien, life doesn't work that way. Even if she refuses to forgive you, I won't blame her," Wren added."So what do you suggest we do? Drake didn't even give me the chance to ask further questions. How do we know the hospital he was taken to? How about we just try calling him again?"Wren nodded and picked up his phone, dialing the line again, but got no response. After trying eight times with no response, he gave up on calling Drake."We just have to do this alone. He's already done enough by calling to inform you. You know Alisha would never have permitted him if he'd told her he was doing this without telling her," Wren told him."So what should we do now?" he asked again.He's always fond of
Chapter 40 Hospital Henry walks in smiling widely; Alisha looks at him and then turns away."Hey, Alisha, I'm sorry for not showing up since morning. Something urgent came up; that's why I couldn't come back in the morning. I'm sorry. How's he doing now?" Alisha ignored him."I know you are mad at me, but you have to listen to my explanation. I didn't mean to treat you this way." Alisha chuckled and looked up at him."It's fine, Henry. I wasn't complaining. I know perfectly well that you have your own life to live other than going around with my kid and me. Drake just left; I wasn't alone; he was here throughout the day. He came just after you left. You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine." Alisha fakes a smile."And what about Henry? How's he faring?""The doctor said he only has one week to live. They are currently looking for a donor. I just pray they find one soon; seeing him in there breaks my heart," she sniffs.Henry wanted to hug her, but he remembered what his mom told h
Chapter 41Seems I interrupted something," Henry blurted, attempting to leave."You didn't. I don't know what he's doing here," Alisha quickly ran to stop him from leaving.Darien stood speechlessly, trying to digest what was happening. He still couldn't accept the fact that she's been with his brother this whole time."Long time no see, brother. Funny how we're meeting in the least expected place," Henry chipped."Yeah, it's good you still remember I'm your brother," Darien smirked."I didn't expect to see you here today. You came for four kids. I guess you finally know the value of your child and you are back to claim him. You still haven't changed," Henry laughed, even though he was speaking his mind."Watch your tongue, Henry! I won't take it lightly with you!" Darien warned, but Henry only chuckled."What are you gonna do? Frame me like you did years back and kill my mom for the second time. Come on, dude, there's nothing you're gonna do that you haven't done! If you can abandon
Chapter 42"I'm so sorry about that. It's so unfortunate the lady had to die after all the struggle," the doctor smiled sadly."It's fine. Enough about me. Now tell me about yourself and the lady?" The doctor sighed after Daniel told him everything that happened."It's fine, it's only a matter of time. You just have to show her how sorry you are. Trust me, if she still loves you, she'll return to you. No matter what she does, don't get angry." "Thank you so much, doctor. I'm happy you didn't nag or curse me like everyone else.""Everything is ready, Doctor Sam," a nurse announced."Sure, let's commence now. Take him to the changing room." "Thank you, doctor." The doctor nodded before walking out, and then Darien followed the nurse.---"So tell me, Alisha, what do you plan on doing now that he's back?" Henry questioned."I don't know Henry, but trust me, going back to him? He's done me more harm than good, Henry. Don't tell me you plan on telling me to go back to him?" Alisha asked
Chapter 43Next morningWriter's POVThe doctor finally walks out of the operating room after spending hours."Doctor, how's my son? How's he doing now?" Alisha ran to catch up with the doctor."He's fine, ma'am. The operation was successful. All thanks to the young man who volunteered to help," the doctor said, even though he knew he was more than just a volunteer."He didn't volunteer anything! He's only doing what he's supposed to do for his son!" Alisha snapped before she could realize it."Wait? Is he the father of your baby? No wonder the kid looks exactly like him," the doctor muttered, pretending to have no idea."He's the father of my kid; we ain't married though," Alisha muttered sadly."I don't know what he has done to you, but I suggest you forgive him as quickly as possible. You know your son is so weak. Imagine he eventually starts school, and people mock him for it. He would feel really bad, and that might lead to something you didn't expect," the doctor told her.He wa
Chapter 159Dungeon* Dora followed the guard into the prison. Darien had agreed to let her see Sandra and have a few words with her.“There, ma'am, please don't go too close to her. She stabbed a maid who brought her food yesterday; she's looking for people to drag down alongside herself. She's holding a sharp object in her body, so you should not go near her,” the guard whispered to her."Sure, I won't go close to her. Thank you for telling me," she whispered back."Who do we have here? I've been hearing your name for some time; I guess I'm finally seeing your face."Immediately Sandra heard her voice, she quickly stood up and walked to the gate."Do I know you from somewhere? It's good to hear you say you've heard so much about me. I didn't know I was that popular.""Well, it's okay. I heard you killed Luna. That's so bold of you. I also heard you told the alpha you did it because you thought that was what he wanted. Who in God's name would want their mate dead if not a wicked witc
Chapter 158What? Do you want to see her? She's locked up, and why should I trust you that you won't do anything silly if I take you to see her?" Darien questioned."Oh, come on, I wouldn't have shown up here if I was still working for them. One thing I need you to understand is the fact that I never worked with them willingly. They fucking bewitched me; they made me do all sorts of mean things, and when I finally got myself back, they dumped me to suffer, just like they did to the Sandra lady.""Sandra? How come you know they sent her?""I don't need to be told by anyone because I heard it with my own ears. I heard them discuss it; they fucking sent her here for you, but she ended up doing otherwise, so they've abandoned her to face her fate.""How come she never mentioned any of this to me? She told me she came back because she was tired of staying with her friend, that's why she came back. I didn't even suspect anything, and trust me, everything that happened, I didn't know how it
Chapter 157Dora knocked on the gate for the umpteenth time; she'd been knocking for the past ten minutes, and funny enough, none of the guards came to open the gate. She just assumed none of them heard her, so she continued knocking.After some time, the gate finally opened."What is it? Can't you just understand the writing on the way and leave? On a normal occasion, the gate is usually open, so seeing it closed by this time, you were supposed to know the alpha doesn't want to see anyone, so just leave!" The guard snapped at her."I'm not leaving. Go in there and tell him I'm here to see him; he will surely come out to see me!" "Who are you? And why should I tell him you are here? Who are you to him?" The guard yelled."Go in and tell him Dora is here to see him.""Dora? Who's Dora? Why would you be coming here to look for him? The alpha is still mourning his Luna, so he's not in the mood to see anyone. Just go and return later. He will see you by then.""You don't just chase me aw
Chapter 156"So this is what you plan to do with me? Do you plan on dumping me like nothing when you've finally gotten what you've wanted? Oh wow! So this was it? You fucking want to dump me after everything. I can see, I've always known you, and your mom can’t be trusted, but trust me, I have a backup plan. If you think of bringing her back, brainwashing her to do your bidding, then leaving me like a fool, then you are wrong. You should be ready to face me tomorrow too. You both made my life this way, then you want to leave me to suffer? It's impossible!" They turned to look at her."Dora! How did you get in here? Didn't we agree you wouldn't come here to see me?" Henry asked, walking up to meet her."Oh yeah, you asked me not to come so you could do whatever you please. Yeah, you asked me not to, but I did anyway. If I hadn't come, then how would I have known what you have in store for me? I was a fool to have believed you loved me; you were only playing me! Oh wow, I have been fool
Chapter 155They both looked at her, pissed. Who would have believed they had been wasting their time telling her all this just for her to call it a story? She's mean.It took them so much effort to generate such a sweet story that matched her situation, but now she's not even close to taking what they said seriously."How could you say such a thing? We just told you everything that happened, yet you took it as a joke?" Emily scoffed in frustration."I'm not a kid. You just mentioned he's your stepson, so possibly you just want to use me to take revenge on him. You shouldn't stress yourself making up fake stories; I don't even know any of the people you just mentioned. So tell me, what do you need me to do for you? You saved my life, so you are my benefactor. Just tell me how you need me to help you. I don't remember anyone pushing me down the bridge. You know, I somehow have this feeling that you both are fudging these stories to tell me. You know I can tell when people are lying to
Chapter 154 Writer's POV:"No dear, that's not what you Heard, come on Come here," Michael told Daniel who was standing at the staircase listening to the conversations."Uncle please don't lie to me, tell me what happened to me mom, I know for sure that my mommy is not always, she would have been here like eye promised if everything was alright" Daniel insisted.Michael carried him in his arms then went back to place him on a seat and squat in front of him, the rest could only watch not knowing what or what not to say to the baby, he's a kid so on a norm he's not supposed to be told right away, but his constant resistance and the way he asked the question, it shows he already knew it, he was only asking to confirm."What happened to my mom, grandpa?" Seeing his Uncle Michael wasn't willing to answer him he turned to his grandpa."I'm so sorry dear, nothing happened, everything is alright, come on let's grandpa go cuddle you to sleep remember you asked for it in the morning," his gran
Chapter 153Please stop, please, they are all innocent," he cried."And my Luna isn't? You could have thought about the consequences of your actions before you did what you did. Even after you crashed the car, you still went ahead to force her down the bridge. You and everyone who belongs to you deserve to suffer for killing her. Neither you nor any of them deserve to live. I will do you the favor of killing them, and trust me, the world will praise me for this; the pack will sing my praises!" Darien yelled as he emptied the last bullet straight into the old woman's forehead."Mom! No, Mom, please, I'm sorry. I was paid to do it. I will tell you who sent me," he finally shouted."Good, go ahead," Sandra's heart raced."Darien, I don't think there's any need to ask him; he might blame me to implicate me," she told Darien. Darien threw her a deadly glare, forcing her to keep her mouth shut."Go on, speak!" The two remaining ladies were already panting hard, knowing they would suffer the
Chapter 152Mrs. Mandes fainted before he could complete his statement.Drake caught her before she could fall to the ground.Their dad didn't say a thing; he just clenched his fist, his breathing coming out rough, while Michael, on the other hand, had already taken his seat, his hands covering his face.If only their mom hadn't advised her to go back the day she came; if only he had protected her more. He wished he had stopped her from leaving; she would have been mad at him but not dead.**After a while, Drake had already taken their mom upstairs. He knew this would happen, so he came with his tools. He did everything and gave her an injection so she could rest."How did this happen? Is it why Darien has refused to pick up our calls? I guess he should be happy now; he has succeeded in killing her so he could marry his so-called friend.""It was a truck. The driver has been caught, and Alisha? She wasn't found; she fell down the bridge and the car exploded!" Michael cracked his knuc
Chapter 151Sandra walked from one edge of the room to another, panting. She had been calling the guy's line, but unfortunately, he wasn't picking up, and the thought bothered her so much.The guy not picking up could only mean one thing: either he had been caught or he was dead.A faint knock came on her door, and her poor heart couldn't help but skip. Her subconscious mind kept telling her that something was wrong."Who's there?" she asked slowly."It's me, ma'am," the maid replied.Already knowing the sort of person she appeared to be, Darien didn't bother sending a guard since she might suspect something was wrong; she might just decide to end her own life instead of being caught or blamed."How may I help you?" she asked as she opened the door.The maid smiled fondly and then replied, "The alpha is back; he sent for you.""Did anything happen? Do you know why the alpha called me?" she tried to get words out of the maid."No, ma'am, all is well. I think he got you a gift or someth
