  After stepping out of the room, Gloria woke up from her trance and struggled.

  She said, "I won't go, Mr. Hammond. I won't go. Can I live alone? I prefer to live alone. I beg you. I don't want to move there."

  She refused to leave, but she was too weak to cut herself loose.

  It was no use begging for mercy, and she scolded angrily, "Patrick! You are so overbearing. You are breaking into my home! It is kidnapping!"

  Before she could finish her sentence, a phone was handed to her. Patrick said, "Take it and call the police."

  Gloria had used all her tricks. He was not angry even if she begged for mercy or scolded him. Patrick was terrifyingly rational!

  "What exactly do you want?" Gloria asked dejectedly. Her hoarse voice was no longer as humble as when she was begging for mercy. It didn't even sound as mad as she cursed just now. There was simply despair.

  "Patrick, I'm so tired. Please." She was exhausted and desperate. It was as if she wa

  • Rejected, But Trapped By The Alpha King   Chapter 547

    Albion set the papers aside. A gentle smile touched his face.Luana lay on the bed, looking at him. It was like seeing the boy he used to be. The one in the back row of the classroom. He would rest his chin on his hand and watched her walk by through the window light. He looked just like this now—calm, controlled, elegant, and reserved.They looked at each other. It was a dignified farewell to the missed chance of their youth.After a long time, Albion looked away. He glanced down at his watch. When he looked up again, his expression was much lighter."Luana, it's a quarter after four. I have to go back to Washington."Guilt still weighed on her, but his eyes showed release. She finally swallowed the words she wanted to say.She spoke gently, just like when she used to send him off to a game. "Then be careful on your trip."His fingers clenched the contract suddenly. "Do you remember what a quarter after four means?"She

    She hadn't finished. Albion cut her off. "Luana, you don't need to apologize. I understand anything you do."That made her feel worse. She looked at his pale face and didn't know what to say.Albion seemed to not want to press her. He spoke gently instead, "I came to give you a gift.""What?" She tilted her head, her bright eyes full of questions.He pulled a stack of legal papers from his folder. He slid them toward her. "The divorce papers. I rushed the marriage record through the County Clerk's office. You never explicitly agreed to it. I took the liberty of finalizing this divorce decree too. I'm sorry."She stared at the "divorce decree." She froze for a moment. She looked up. "Didn't we agree to start over?"His eyes showed reluctance. A sense of peace slowly surfaced. "We can't go back to how things were."Her chest tightened. She frowned. "Is it because I took that acid for him? Is that why you're..."He shook his head

    After Cline finished feeding her water, he asked softly, "Need more?"Luana lightly shook her head. Her eyes fell on his distinct, bony fingers. There were burn marks on them.She looked up at him. "Your hand..."Cline curled his fingers slightly, avoiding her gaze. He used his other hand to pick up a clean cloth and wipe her lips.He didn't answer her question. Luana didn't press him. Her clear eyes surveyed the room. "How long was I out?"After wiping her lips, Cline answered, "Over half a month."She thought it had only been a few days. She hadn't expected it to be over two weeks.She woke up and saw Cline. What about Clarissa and Albion?She wanted to ask Cline, but she saw him gently cup her cheek. He helped her change her pillow.Then he brought toiletries. He started cleaning her face, her mouth, and her exposed skin.He did everything so naturally. It seemed this was how he had taken care of her while she

    Outside the door, Cline was still on IV fluids. His knuckles were white.He watched the light move through the glass. His chest felt crushed.He wished the acid had hit him.He wished he'd stepped in front of her sooner.The words "repay a favor" stabbed him like needles. She used the cruelest way to pay him back. He never even got to say, "Don't do that."He couldn't blink. He was terrified she'd disappear if he closed his eyes.He watched her back and shoulders twitch in pain. He had one insane thought: If he could, he would take the pain himself.Time stretched out. Eva's eyes were glued to the monitor. The heart rate finally stabilized. She let out a long breath.She walked to the hallway. She faced Cline and Clarissa, who was squatting, her eyes empty. "Miss Hammond is out of danger."That sentence cut the last thread. Clarissa sat down hard. She began to cry, muffled and deep.Eva hugged her. Her palm presse

    They quickly secured her airway and connected the ventilator. They continued the extensive rinsing. They treated the chemical burns according to protocol.Through it all, Cline held Luana's hand. His eyes were bloodshot. He stared fiercely at her pale face. "Luana, you have to fight. Albion is waiting to marry you. Don't disappoint him. PLEASE."He pressed close to her ear. He said it over and over. She still didn't react. It was like all her life had been sucked out.His grip tightened. It felt like the last rope he could cling to.The ambulance stopped at the Emergency entrance.Eva followed them in. She quickly coordinated with the hospital team. They rushed Luana into the trauma room.Cline tried to follow. Eva blocked him. "You will only interfere with the resuscitation."She pushed him out. The door to the trauma room shut immediately.The moment the door locked, the strength holding Cline up vanished.He slid down

    Eva rushed over. She dropped right onto her knees.She saw the acid burns on Luana's back. Her face went pale instantly.She looked around. This was a wide-open city park. There was no first aid kit. No emergency rinse station. Only the pouring rain.Albion, sitting in his wheelchair, finally reacted. His voice shook as he spoke to Eva. "The Children's Center has clean water."Eva forced herself to be calm. She looked sharply at Cline. "HURRY! Carry Miss Hammond to the Children's Center!"Cline finally tossed the knife aside. He carefully picked up Luana. He ran frantically toward the Center.Eva ran behind him.She passed Clarissa, who was running the other way. Eva yelled urgently, "Clarissa! Call 911 NOW! We need an ambulance!"Clarissa stopped. She fumbled with her phone, shaking. She dialed and followed them forward while talking.As people panicked, the park maintenance worker started laughing nervously again.
