Christine's smile disappeared when she heard what the manager said.
She stared at the manager. Christine used to be a rogue, and Patrick saved her back then. Patrick asked her to join the Black Thorn Pack. When Patrick found out that she had Alpha's blood, he asked her to help him run the Fittro Club. Although the manager of the Public Relations Department was also from the Black Thorn Pack, she did not have Alpha's blood. Therefore, when Christine showed her Alpha aura, the manager immediately felt the pressure. "Emily, I asked Gloria to work in your department. Are you questioning my decision or judgment?" Cold sweat dripped down Emily's forehead. She quickly denied it, "I didn't. If you think highly of her, then I will spend more time teaching her. Christine, I have to go now. I still have work to do." Christine stood in place. When she heard that Gloria wanted to rest for a few days, she was pleased. Finally, the silly giGloria became more silent as she saw Lilian's reaction. She didn't really need Lillian's apology. She simply wanted others to show some respect. She almost forgot the feeling of being respected. Patrick, the mighty Alpha, destroyed a werewolf. He destroyed Gloria. Gloria felt pain and regret. She told herself not to expect too much. She shouldn't expect people to respect her. "Gloria, tell me how much money you want. Even if I have to give you all my savings, I will not apologize to you. You crawled on the ground and barked like a dog for money. A person like you is not worthy of my apology!" Lillian said angrily. After Lillian finished speaking, she thought for a few seconds and revealed a disdainful smile. She continued, "If you want to tell others that I hurt you, it's fine. However, no one will believe you. Let me remind you, I am a student at Gabbs University. I am here to earn my tuition fees, and in the eyes of others,
Hearing Gloria's words, Lillian was even more frightened. Lillian was afraid of Christine, so she did not stop Gloria anymore, but Lillian hated Gloria even more. Slowly, Gloria walked out of the hospital. Lillian did not notice that the humble and incompetent Gloria was getting calmer and more confident as she walked out. Lillian did not notice that a man was leaning lazily against the door frame of the ward next to Gloria's. The man glanced at Gloria, who then disappeared at the elevator entrance. Then he walked past Lillian to the elevator. Gloria took the elevator downstairs. She had a problem with her legs, so she walked slowly. She walked out of the hospital and stood at the intersection to get a taxi. "I want to go to Fittro Club. Can you make it a little cheaper?" The driver glanced at Gloria and said, "I charge by the meter. If you don't want to go, I'll leave now." The driver wouldn't give her a discou
In the lounge of the Public Relations Department, the call girls were having a heated discussion. Despite the lessons from Yuna and Ruby, no one else took them seriously. Besides, the big boss hated troublemakers, and they did not do anything to Gloria. These people had a problem with Gloria because they didn't think she met the standards to work in this department. Moreover, before she came to this department, Gloria was a cleaner and had been cleaning the bathrooms for a few months at the club. For some reason, Gloria suddenly became their colleague, so it was normal that they felt uncomfortable about it. Gloria followed Emily to the VIP room on the fifth floor. Emily didn't know why this customer had asked Gloria to serve him. Emily looked at Gloria expressionlessly and said, "You'll serve in the VIP room. Remember to talk and behave properly and to make the customers happy. Don't offend the customers. Understand?" "Yes, Emily,"
As Gloria looked at the check in her hand, her face gradually turned pale. She had received a lot of humiliation from previous customers, yet she had a clear conscience. She understood that Mike had given her 100 thousand dollars because Mike felt she was similar to the woman he loved. But today, she didn't do anything. Lucas stood in front of Gloria, half a head taller than her. He lowered his eyes and curled his lips as he admired the woman's expression. It was as if he could see her struggling inside from the subtle changes in her expression. And he enjoyed watching it very much. Gloria's face grew paler, and there was a hesitant look in her. On the one hand, she felt that she shouldn't take the money. On the other hand, she urgently needed money. Suddenly, she slowly raised her head. From her angle, she could only see Lucas' pretty chin and his curved lips. She asked, "Sir, do you need me to do anything for you?" A trace
Christine asked this because she was afraid that Gloria would put in too much effort to earn money. Looking at the concern in Christine's eyes, Gloria felt warm in her heart. Gloria did not want Christine to be anxious. She replied, "Christine, he only asked for a kiss." Christine could not help crying out in surprise, "A kiss? That simple?" But the next second, Christine fell silent. A kiss? It could not be that simple. Christine saw too many men who were polite in front of others and exposed their kinky hobbies when they were at Fittro Club. Many of them were werewolves, and werewolves liked to tease humans. They were happy to see humans obey their orders. This man could have any woman he wanted, but chose Gloria and gave her 20 thousand dollars. Christine looked at Gloria. Christine did not look down on Gloria. She just felt Gloria was really not the type of most men. Christine thought that there were very fe
Christine did not know why Patrick was so concerned about Gloria. However, Christine did know that Patrick hated Gloria a lot. Otherwise, he would not have tortured Gloria like this. So, after thinking for a few seconds, Christine said in a euphemistic tone, "Nothing out of the line. The guest just asked Gloria to kiss him." Christine didn't think Patrick would mind. After all, guests at Fittro Club asked for a kiss from call girls every day. They would also tip more. The call girls were also more than happy to earn more tips in such a way. However, what happened next surprised Christine. Just as she finished speaking, Patrick, who was in Los Angeles, hung up right away. Patrick's face was stiff. He looked out of the window, thinking about something. And it was obvious that he was suppressing his anger. Everyone in the conference room was frightened. Patrick, the Alpha, had his usual poker face, and no one knew what he
Gloria looked at Lillian in silence, while Lillian was indifferent to her line of sight. Lillian continued, "I left my stuff in the dormitory that day, so I came back to grab it. That's how I found you unconscious on the floor. Then I took you to the hospital at once. I don't dare to imagine what would have happened if I hadn't come back that day." Gloria frowned. Was Lillian talking to her? It didn't sound like that. She felt that Lillian wanted someone else to hear. So, who could it be? Gloria was not stupid. She subconsciously turned around to look behind her. Just as she turned around, she felt a pair of hands on her waist, and she was lifted in the air. Someone helped her, breaking her free from Lillian's grip. Her back was leaning against a warm body. A melodious male voice came from behind Gloria. "Gloria, I think you owe your thanks to Miss Santos." The voice belonged to Derrick, the man Gloria had met twice in
Toby Terry, who was from the Blue Moon Pack, was a little confused. He looked in the direction where Derrick was pointing. It was just the door to Room 3. Derrick continued, "A beautiful woman will walk through this door shortly after. She is a delight. Mr. Terry, I'm being a sincere friend here." As Derrick spoke, he gave Toby a meaningful smile that all men understood and patted Toby's arm. "You know what I'm saying, Mr. Terry?" "I sure do." Toby looked elegant, and that didn't stop him from understanding what Derrick was implying. Toby was the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack, which was next door to Derrick's Blood Moon Pack. The two packs shared a friendly relationship. To some extent, they could be considered alliances. Toby smiled meaningfully and said, "No wonder others praise Fittro Club as werewolves' heaven." Derrick motioned to Toby and said, "Mr. Terry, and friends, I'm afraid I'll take my leave now." Before leaving th
Clarissa, who had been crying her heart out, also sensed that Luana was barely holding on, waiting for Cline.She remembered Luana mentioning that Cline's private phone was never turned off and quickly said to Eva, "Luana's phone has his private number. Could someone please get her phone? It's in the paper bag on the bedside table in the ward..."The young nurse guarding the door heard this and immediately turned around and ran into the ward, quickly returning with Luana's phone.Eva took the phone, swiped the unlock button while asking Clarissa, "What's the password?"Clarissa knew the password and quickly told Eva.The phone unlocked swiftly, and Eva quickly scrolled to Cline's number.She noticed that he had been blocked by Luana and immediately removed him from the blacklist, dialing quickly.The phone no longer prompted that it was turned off. It connected...Eva was anxious, muttering under her breath, "Cline, please answ
In her dream, she saw a woman standing in the sunlight, reaching out her hand as if to say, "Luana, Mommy's here to take you."She thought it might be her mother, the same one who had left her in the sunlight with such reluctance and helplessness...Or perhaps it wasn't her mother at all. Maybe it was just her deep longing for a mother that conjured up this image in her dream.After all, she had never experienced the love of a mother or a father in her life.She had come into this world alone and was destined to leave it the same way, which was, in the end, a bit regrettable...Seeing her bitter smile, Calvert felt as if a thorn had pierced his heart, causing him pain all over.This pain made him involuntarily lean down and hold her tightly, not daring to let go for a moment...Luana weakly patted his back, "Albion, don't be sad..."Calvert, like a child, buried his head in the crook of her neck, cold tears silently dripping on
Calvert sat by the bedside, motionless, staring at her pale face.Only after she had completely fallen asleep did he take out his phone and call Gath.Gath, who was at that moment talking with Eva in the dean's office, was taken aback for a moment upon seeing Calvert's call.After Calvert had last messaged him for an explanation, he had been ignored, so this initiative to contact him now made Gath somewhat pleased.He immediately released Eva, swiped the unlock button on his phone, and answered the call, "Hello, Calvert, what can I do for you?"Calvert's voice was deep as he asked, "Can you treat heart failure?"Upon hearing this, Gath knew exactly who he was referring to. "Is there a suitable heart donor available?"A wave of helplessness surged through Calvert, and he unclenched his tightly held fists. "No..."Gath pondered for a moment before responding earnestly, "Calvert, without a suitable donor, even God couldn't save he
Clarissa, recalling Luana's plea not to blame Calvert, said nothing more and simply stepped around him to get some water, ignoring him completely.Calvert stood at the ward door, gazing at the frail and weak figure on the hospital bed, his vision gradually blurring with tears.He struggled to steady his trembling body, clenched his fists tightly, and with heavy steps, he walked slowly to the bedside.Blind Luana sensed someone approaching and thought Clarissa had returned, so she reached out to grab her clothes."Clarissa..."Before her hand could make contact, it was grasped by a broad and slender hand.The hand that held hers trembled slightly, as if it had a thousand words to say but couldn't utter a single one, so it just held on tightly.Luana realized it was a man's hand and thought of Cline's stern and handsome face, but she didn't think it could be him.She tentatively called out, "Albion..."Calvert hadn't expec
Tears rolled down Clarissa's cheeks, dripping onto Luana's hand and making her body stiffen.Luana tried to raise her other hand to wipe Clarissa's tears, but after feeling around for a while without success, her wrist was grabbed by Clarissa instead."Luana, are you... blind now?"Clarissa held Luana's hand, her face full of shock as she stared intently into Luana's eyes.This time, Luana didn't hide it from Clarissa and nodded calmly, "Probably triggered some other conditions..."She had experienced blurred vision during her dizziness before, but she hadn't expected to wake up completely blind this time.Seeing her like this, Clarissa broke down and cried again.She threw herself onto the hospital bed, hugged Luana tightly, and wept her heart out.Luana no longer tried to console her not to cry. Instead, she reached out to hug her back, gently patting her back and whispering, "I'm okay..."If she couldn't see, then so
After returning to the hospital, Clarissa encountered Albert at the triage desk on the first floor, where he was handling discharge procedures.Seeing her, he was somewhat surprised and asked why she had come. Clarissa pursed her lips and didn't respond.Albert, feeling uneasy under her penetrating gaze, which seemed to see through him, instinctively averted his eyes."Honey..." he called out tentatively, then asked guiltily, "The doctor said Angela's pregnancy is unstable, and it would be best for her to stay near the hospital until the baby is born. Since our place is close to the hospital, how about she stays with us for a while?""With a pregnancy so unstable, it's no wonder she's acting out," Clarissa thought, resisting the urge to retort.She had a flaw—having grown up without much love, she was easily swayed by affection.But she also had a strength—she could quickly dismiss anyone or anything that betrayed her.She
Luana had long been aware of her physical condition, so she wasn't particularly concerned. She asked, "How much... longer do I have?"Eva, with her hands in the pockets of her white coat, looked down at Luana's pale face and said seriously, "About a week."If she hadn't sustained such severe injuries, with the help of special medications, she might have been able to hold on for another two months.But the nail piercing the back of her head had accelerated her heart failure. The fact that she could still last a week was nothing short of a medical miracle.Eva couldn't help but shudder as she recalled the scene of the nail piercing the back of Luana's head."Luana, who on earth nailed the back of your head?"Cline had only messaged her that Sidney, Runa, and he had attacked Luana, urging her to come and save her.He hadn't mentioned who had caused the injuries.Eva suspected it might have been a group attack, but she couldn't bel
After shouting, Clarissa covered her face and cried almost hysterically.Luana, seeing her like this, couldn't help but feel her eyes well up with tears.She mustered all her strength to reach out and pull at Clarissa's clothes.But Clarissa, unable to accept the reality, kept backing away...She cried and ran out of the ward in a state of collapse.Watching Clarissa's retreating figure, the tears that Luana had been holding back began to fall drop by drop.Clarissa ran out of the VIP ward in one breath and unconsciously stopped in front of the door of an ordinary ward.She wanted to ask Albert for help. Although she wasn't sure what kind of help he could provide, she desperately needed someone to lean on at the moment.She walked to the ward door, crying, but instead of seeing the Albert siblings, she heard a series of embarrassing noises coming from the adjacent single room...Instinctively, she wanted to avoid them, b
After speaking, Eva gave Clarissa a gentle smile, which temporarily relieved Clarissa of her worries and shifted her focus to Luana.Seeing Luana sweating from pain in her coma, Clarissa felt heartbroken and quickly took out a towel to wipe her sweat.After finishing, she turned to Eva and asked nervously, "Dr. Woodward, is Luana's heart okay?"Luana had congenital heart disease and had to be very careful in her daily life.Being beaten into a coma could have caused damage to her heart, just like how she had become weaker after being kicked before. Clarissa was very worried about this.Eva glanced at Clarissa, unsure of how to respond.As a doctor, she should tell the patient's family about such a life-or-death issue.But without the patient's consent, she didn't feel right making the decision.Moreover, seeing Clarissa's worried face, she was afraid that Clarissa wouldn't be able to handle it.After thinking for a while
