Mirabel could not resist the lingering feeling that Connor's uncle was the one behind her attack but at the same time, she felt like it was another person who was after her life.Mirabel trusted Mr. Gregory so much that she doubted he would do something so brutal to her even without hearing from her side of the story."Maybe he had sent that man after me to instill fear in me and also to remind me that he would do whatever he threatens to do to me. Maybe he didn't mean to injure me so badly" Mirabel thought to herself.Though she was unsure of the exact reason Connor's uncle decided to threaten her life the way he did, she knew he was not two-faced, especially when it comes to their plans. He definitely wouldn't hurt Mirabel especially when she still has a huge role to play in seeing that his plans come into existence.Mirabel did not want to keep thinking that Connor's uncle was the one that wanted to harm her and so she shoved the thoughts away.Mirabel as well thought that maybe h
Mirabel's face fell when Connor left her ward, her hopes that Connor had visited her to know how she was faring after the incident were crushed to pieces.She was disappointed when she realized that Connor had only shown up in her room just to send her a warning to stay away from Him and his mate and nothing more.Mirabel was enraged, she was already getting tired of the same threats from Connor every time he met her and couldn't wait to put an end to it. She was still brooding over how unconcerned Connor was to her but to Carolina when the door knob was squeezed open and a happy Hardulph entered the ward with hands full of presents for Mirabel.A wide smile spread on her face when she saw that her visitor was Hardulph and he did not come empty-handed. Mirabel could feel butterflies fluttering in her belly just by the presence of Hardulph in her room."Look who finally woke up" Hardulph sang with a smug smile as he made his way inside the ward."Hardulph!" Mirabel exclaimed happily,
Hardulph did not want to spend the night as Mirabel pleaded, he had plans already. Plans he didn't want Mirabel to encroach into.It is true he agreed to get close to Mirabel because of Connor's plea to him and their relationship too. But he had other responsibilities in his pack of which his mate was the top list.Hardulph already made plans to spend the night with his mate who has been patient with him all the while he spent time with Mirabel. He felt like she needed to be rewarded at least for being an understanding mate but now Mirabel was requesting he stays with her.Hardulph was at crossroads and was confused, was he going to choose Mirabel over his heavily pregnant mate that was as well awaiting his return to spend the night?Hardulph did not know what to do. He wanted to go to his mate but at the same time, he didn't want to turn Mirabel down especially now that she was injured and needed attention.He took a deep breath and clenched his jaw as he thought about the right deci
Hardulph was taken aback by Mirabel's revelation, he knew a certain Mr. Gregory and it was Connor's uncle. Could he be the same person she was talking about?"Do you mean Connor's uncle, Mr. Gregory?" Hardulph asked Mirabel to be sure and she nodded to confirm his questions."Yes, Connor's uncle. He.. he threatened me before now and I can't seem to discard the suspicion that he is the one after my life too" Mirabel answered, her eyes darting all over the place.Hardulph was appalled by Mirabel's answer, "There should be more to this than she has revealed. But I will let her be, for now, asking for more details does not seem like the right to do at the moment" Hardulph thought within himself.He made Mirabel lay back down on her bed even though she did not want to, "You need to rest now Mirabel. Don't worry, I'm right here and I will protect you. Here, you can hold onto me" Hardulph started giving his hand to Mirabel to hold while she lay on the bed."I won't leave your side, sleep wit
Carolina's face contorted in a small frown when she beheld whom she bumped it."She's not the same person? Then how come? How is it possible that they smell so much alike?" Carolina asked herself in a perplexed tune.Seeing it was not the same person she thought she was, Carolina apologized for crossing the lady dressed in all black."I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else. Please don't take my interruption to heart" She apologized, an awkward smile playing on her features. The lady dressed in all back did not give Carolina a reply by the way, she just walked past her without making a sound.Carolina was puzzled, the lady smelt the same as her, and she can not be mistaken about it. She was familiar with that scent and she could tell whom it belonged to, anytime any day.The only difference between both ladies was their identity but every other feature reminded her of Liliana, the one who died in a bomb blast. Carolina could swear that the strange lady was the same person that had
Mirabel's eyes instantly flicked open when she noticed the presence of another person in her ward. She let her eyes hover around her room in search of the uninvited guest when she caught sight of a syringe directed toward her.Her eyes widened in horror, she felt like all the oxygen in her system had disappeared into thin air. Mirabel was scared to her bones with just the sight of the already-filled syringe coming closer and closer to herself.She let out a strangled scream and began to adjust on her bed, her eyes still trained on the sharp needle on the syringe. "Get it away from me! Take it off me" she screamed out, struggling to get out of her bed, the person bringing the syringe towards her did not stop for a moment. He or she was bent on pushing the syringe into Mirabel's skin.Mirabel was terrified, just when she thought she could finally sleep, she was being attacked again, with a syringe at that. She couldn't see who was trying to inject her and she didn't know the content of
Connor entered the bedroom where Carolina lay on the bed, working on an assignment on her laptop. He stood for a while, watching as her slender fingers moved across the keypad as she typed away."Mirabel went missing from the hospital earlier this morning" Connor announced and Carolina's eyes widened in shock as she stared back at him."What? What do you mean by she went missing? What happened to her? Was she attacked again and kidnapped by the masked man in the bathroom?" Carolina asked all at a time, her eyes widened in horror."No, none of that happened" Connor replied, settling beside her on their bed."The CCTV footage from the hospital stated that she ran out of the hospital on her own" Connor shrugged. Carolina stared at him like he was spurting gibberish."What do you mean she ran out of the hospital on her own?" She asked in confused tune."It's true Caro, I watched it myself. The CCTV captured Mirabel running out of the hospital with so much speed like someone was after her
Mirabel's eyes did not blink for a complete minute, she just moped at Liliana wide-eyed too shocked to make a single sound. Liliana was the last person she expected to see right in front of her, not even in her wildest dream did Mirabel think that Liliana who had been confirmed dead will be standing right before her, she couldn't believe her eyes.A smug smile was stretched on Liliana's lips as she watched Mirabel's reaction to her sudden appearance in amusement. She loved the horrified look on Mirabel's face, it made her want to laugh out loud.Mirabel turned her eyes towards Luc who was equally watching her with an expressionless face. She was breathing fast as her skin began to crawl because she felt like she had seen a ghost. Mirabel closed her eyes tightly and pinched herself lightly, refusing to believe that what she was seeing was real."Snap out of it Mirabel, you are having weird dreams. There is no way Liliana is back to life, you are just seeing things. Liliana is dead, b
