  Christine walked very fast. She soon reached the Public Relations Department's lounge and walked past it toward the manager's office.

  Her stilettos tapped against the marble tiles, and she looked angry. The staff trembled in fear as they watched Christine walk straight toward her destination.

  She kicked the office door open, making a huge noise.

  Christine roared furiously, "Emily, I want an explanation!"

  Emily was startled. She looked at Christine, who appeared out of the blue, and asked, "Christine, what's going on?"

  Christine walked into the office and slammed the door shut, blocking those probing gazes.

  She stood at the door with her arms crossed. Looking at Emily coldly, she said, "Who said you could arrange work for Gloria? Don't you know that she is still sick? Did you have my permission?"

  Emily felt relieved and dissatisfied when she heard that Christine was here for Gloria.

  Emily said, "Christine, I'm the manager of t

      The call girls in the Public Relations Department's lounge were surprised to see Emily panic.  They heard Christine's voice from before dimly. However, they did not know what had happened between Emily and Christine.  "What did Gloria do this time? Christine is here, asking Emily to find Gloria herself!"  "What does Gloria have anything to do with you?"  "Well, that's true."  They were talking, yet Emily didn't have time to listen to their conversation at all. She rushed into the public lounge as fast as she could.  She saw Gloria, who was in the lounge.  "Gloria, you..." Emily was used to talking to Gloria arrogantly. Suddenly, she recalled Christine's words. She coughed awkwardly and softened her tone, saying, "Are you alright?"  Gloria was puzzled. She thought, 'Since when did you care about me?'  "I'm fine," Gloria said.  "I want to ask you something. It's about Room 3 on the third floor."  Gloria stiffened.

      Leonard frowned at Christine's words.  He did not agree with Christine. Christine joined the Black Thorn Pack later, whilst he was always by Patrick's side, protecting Patrick.  In Leonard's eyes, Gabrielle, Damon's sister, was the love of Patrick's life. Gloria was nothing to him.  He said with dissatisfaction, "There are some things that you don't know. Don't give random comments."  Christine smiled. She figured that Leonard was the one with all self-righteousness.  "Call her over," Leonard said as he pointed at Lillian's photo.  Christine nodded. She disliked Lillian anyway.  Lillian was called to Christine's office. On Lillian's way here, she had been uneasy all along.  "Christine." Lillian now was very humble. Unlike the first time she went to Christine's office, she was no longer contemptuous when talking to Christine.  "I'll cut to the chase. Tell us about what happened in the room on the third floor today," Christine sa

      "Lillian, I told you to be kind the last time I spoke to you. Obviously, you didn't take my words seriously at all. You brought it to yourself. You have no reason or right to hate anyone," Christine looked at Lillian and said with blunt hatred in her eyes.  Christine then looked at Gloria and continued, "Gloria, you don't need to help her. She deserved it."  Lillian cried hard. She was no longer as arrogant as she had been before when she faced Gloria. Grabbing Gloria's clothes in both hands, she begged, "Gloria, please! Help me. This is the first time I've ever asked you for anything."  Gloria stood in situ expressionlessly. She was amused by Lillian's words.  She said, "That's right. This is the first time. Because the boss of Fittro Club won't believe you this time even if I play along with you and help you lie."  "Gloria, you're here to twist the knife, aren't you?"  Lillian's face was full of grief and indignation. She looked like she knew

      Patrick thought, 'Do as I say?  Is that how you were, Gloria Carter?  I don't think so.'  Patrick put his hand up. His arm was propped on the arm of the sofa while he supported his chin with his hand, looking lazy.  He looked at the woman in front of him silently.  Time ticked, and Gloria began to feel restless.  Patrick never looked away from her face. The light was too dim for her to see the emotion on his face. Occasionally, she would look up tentatively, yet she could only see his cold eyes in the dimness.  A few minutes later, she finally gave in, finding it hard to keep sitting still anymore. She raised her head and said, "Mr. Hammond, I'm here to ask you to forgive someone."  She cut to the chase.  Patrick nodded while sitting on the sofa. He said lazily, "I know. I was waiting for you to speak."  Gloria was stunned for a second. Only then did she realize that the reason why Patrick was sitting there and staring at

      Gloria thought, 'I know what it's like to owe someone her life because I can't pay it back.  Even though I am working my ass off, trying to save money to get my freedom back, I know Mica will never see any of my efforts.  I don't care about Lillian. I don't like or hate her, though she is selfish and insolent, and she has crossed the line many times. Also, it's not my intention to meddle in others' business and come here to plead for her.  I simply don't want to owe someone her life, whether it's a nice person or not, and whether it has something to do with me directly or not. I just don't want it whatsoever.  That's why I came here after all, though I was so reluctant.'  When Gloria was yelling, she said she didn't want to owe someone her life, and Patrick heard her.  Patrick pondered for a while, and he had his guess.  Patrick did not know that Gloria was referring to Mica. Instead, he figured that Gloria was repentant for causing Gabrie

     Patrick didn't cut off the mind link. He looked at the unconscious Gloria, who was lying on the bed.  He walked over and pushed her to the side. Then he slowly lifted her shirt.  As her shirt was lifted gradually, his gaze landed on her waist.  Patrick saw a hideous wound and his pupils contracted.  "Our mate!" Leo said in a pained voice. He couldn't feel his mate. Only a faint breath told him that Gloria was his and Patrick's mate.  "Who did this?" Patrick's voice was as cold as a sudden blizzard.  He saw an ugly scar on the left side of Gloria's waist.  He stretched out his hand, wanting to stroke it. His large hand could not help but tremble.  His slender fingers touched the scar.  Covered by the scar, her skin was no longer smooth.  The second he touched it, he felt as if his fingertips had been scalded.  Sean could tell from Patrick's voice that he was having mixed feelings. He scolded with a teasing tone, "She

      Sean suddenly thought of what he had said to Gloria today. He told her that she let him down, and he blamed her for changing. Now that he thought about it, he regretted it so much. He wasn't the one who had been suffering.  Sean continued, "When I went to see her before, she wasn't in a serious condition. I don't know why she fainted again, but I suggest that you take her to the hospital now. She has gone through so much, including drowning, having a fever, and blacking out. Even healthy werewolves couldn't deal with those, let alone her. Werewolf herbs can relieve werewolves' symptoms, but it is our strong resilience that does most of the trick. Gloria does not have her wolf now. She may be more vulnerable than humans."  "Alright. I'll drive her to the hospital now."  "OK. I'll see you there."  Then Patrick and Sean cut off the call simultaneously.  Patrick stood by the bed and looked at the woman on the bed. Sean's words still echoed in his mind, "D

      Patrick looked at Gloria somewhat obsessively. Losing in his memories, he found it impossible to resist Gloria.  He had been drawn to her increasingly day by day.  "What the heck is going on?" Patrick asked his wolf in his mind.  "She is our mate," Leo emphasized again. He responded in Patrick's mind, "We, werewolves, need to be with our mates. Such a bond will make us feel secure and happy."  Patrick was silent and did not respond to Leo.  Leo said to himself, "It would be better if you could mark her as soon as possible. I get annoyed when our mate is around, yet you can't mark her."  "I've already rejected her," said Patrick.  "But she didn't reject you, so, it didn't take effect," Leo said disapprovingly.  Just as Patrick wanted to ask Leo about Gloria's wolf, he suddenly received a call request in his mind. It was from the pack.  He accepted the request, and then Leonard's voice sounded in his mind.  "Alpha Patrick,

      Gloria looked at the sky. "Christine, you know that I hate him and am afraid of him. Six years ago, he sent me to the werewolf prison. There were iron bars everywhere.  "Not long ago, I woke up in the morning and found myself locked in a space full of iron bars again. He put bars on all the windows. In my opinion, it was no different from my life in prison.  "He tried all means to imprison me. He was now so sick that he finally let go. He said that he didn't want to continue the game. He was tired of me and I believed it. But isn't that ridiculous? He lets go only when he's dying. Does this mean that he cares about me?  "You are right. When I was at the airport, I kept thinking about how you scolded me. I was running all the time. I didn't just run from him, but from my family as well.  "Patrick imprisoned my body. As for me, I imprisoned my heart.  "Alright, let's get in. It's a bit cold outside." Gloria felt relaxed after saying that. She stood up.

      Gloria picked up the apple from the stable and quietly peeled it. Not long after, the peeled apple was handed to Patrick.  The apple emitted a fragrance. Patrick didn't believe what was happening. He didn't dare to take the apple.  He didn't know if the apple would disappear the moment he took it.  "When will the operation be carried out?" Gloria went straight to the point. She held the peeled apple in her hand.  Patrick immediately became alert. He was a little nervous. "Who told you?"  "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" She asked again, ignoring his nagging.  "The day after tomorrow." He stared at Gloria. In fact, she was more stubborn than him. If she didn't get an answer, she wouldn't give up.  Gloria nodded and stuffed Patrick. "Are you not eating it? I peeled it for you."  Patrick felt warm in his heart. He had never shown his weaknesses, but now felt tears well up in his eyes. One could even see that his eyes turned red. He

      "Look, you're hesitating." Christine was like an invader. She pursued further and didn't let Gloria go. "I just asked you if you still loved him, but you hesitated. Do you really know yourself?  "Gloria, in my opinion, you are running away from him. Three years ago, you tried everything you could to escape. Now, you have made no progress at all. You are still escaping. Will you really be at peace at Waikiki Beach? I will be blunt. If you can only remain calm on Waikiki Beach, it means that you have never been calm."  Gloria trembled, and her face paled. "Stop it! Enough!"  Christine's words echoed in her mind. She wanted to press the pause button but there was simply none.  "Gloria, Waikiki Beach is not a pure land. The peace you think is just your escape," Christine said seriously.  Christine should not have said this, but she saw some things that the people in the police station did not see.  She saw Gloria's hesitation.  During the thre

      Outside a VIP ward in the hospital, an unexpected figure appeared.  "Let him in." In the ward, Patrick nodded.  The door opened, and Ellison walked in.  "You're really well-informed," Patrick said coldly, his lips pale.  "I have my sources. No matter how well you hide it, you can't guarantee that your subordinates won't give themselves away," Ellison said calmly.  Patrick smiled, "You don't have to be in such a hurry even though you covet the Hammond Group. After I die, it will be all yours."  "Come on." Ellison sat down on a chair. "If you die, all your assets will be given to her."  Although he didn't say who she was, Patrick, who was lying on the bed, had a glint in his eyes. "You know me well."  "No." Ellison waved his index finger. "It just so happened that I saw a lawyer walk out of the hospital. That lawyer was hired by you personally to serve you and the Hammond Group."  "Did you find me just like that?" Patrick asked.

      "Don't move. I just want to look at you," Patrick whispered. Gloria only felt that it was strange. When did he learn to be gentle?  When she raised her eyes to look at him, she was seized by his eyes. His eyes were like black holes as if swallowing her up. Intense affection seemed to be about to burst out of his eyes in a second.  She had never experienced this before.  She had never seen Patrick like this before.  Before she ran out of patience, he released her.  He took a step back, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to her. "Don't you want to leave? I'll let you go."  She took the paper and found it was a divorce agreement.  As her gaze slid down, Patrick had already signed his name.  For a moment, she became even more confused.  He had done everything he could to force her to be with him, but now he had taken out the divorce agreement.  She didn't understand.  Gloria looked at Patrick, her

      Half a month had passed. Patrick didn't appear in front of her again. Occasionally, Hank would come back to take a change of clothes and then leave in a hurry.  Apart from being confused, the guards in the pack became increasingly serious.  Gloria didn't know what had happened.  One day, the dark iron gate of Alpha's villa opened again. She saw the familiar Bentley driving in from the second floor from a distance.  She looked at the car and fell into a daze.  Finally, he came back.  She retracted her gaze and did not know how to face him.  Just as she was lost in thought, Kevin went to her door and invited her to meet Alpha respectfully.  She wanted to ask if she could refuse.  However, Kevin turned around and left directly.  It was no use delaying. She still went downstairs.  Gloria gave a self-mockery chuckle. However, her smile faded quickly. As she got thinner, her face seemed to be sunken.  She noticed a

      Smoke came out from the gap in the door.  Instantly, Hank's expression changed. He shook off Mandy, who was pulling him, took out his key, and opened the door. "Luna Gloria! What is going on?"  Before he finished speaking, he choked on the thick smoke and coughed violently.  Mandy rushed in. "Gloria, don't scare me! Don't tell me that you want to kill yourself!"  Unfortunately, the smoke was too thick, and the flames were everywhere.  Hank immediately called the police and tried to rush in.  A figure passed him quickly and rushed in.  In the blink of an eye, the figure had already rushed into the thick smoke.  "Alpha Patrick! You can't go inside!  "It's too dangerous!"  Hank shouted, but Patrick turned a deaf ear. He looked around the room through the smoke, but Gloria was nowhere to be seen.  He immediately rushed to the bedroom door, but the door could not be opened.  "Gloria! Open the door! Gloria! Open the

      In the ward, Patrick took a chair and sat down. Opposite him was Harry.  "She lied to me and came to donate her bone marrow to you."  Patrick said, breaking the silence.  Harry turned pale and gradually despaired. He said, "I'll go find her! I won't force her to donate her bone marrow!" He stood up and was about to leave.  "Gloria was injecting G-CSF. I took her home."  Harry calmed down after hearing that.  "The donor?" Harry was puzzled.  "Your brother."  Harry did not know what to say for a moment.  "Your brother's match result was a fake. I've known this for a long time. But Gloria doesn't care about it, so I do nothing."  Harry wanted to say something. He found that Patrick was so indifferent. Patrick knew the truth, yet he chose to stand aside and watch the farce.  "You know Gloria went to the bone marrow bank. Ever since she found out about your condition, she's been asking around to find a suitable donor. I

      Patrick paused. The next second, he reached out to cover her eyes and then kissed the back of his hand over them. "You mean a lot to me," he said silently.  "Gloria, don't think about running away again. For the rest of your life, you're bound to be with me. You can't get away without my permission."  He had already lost his mind.  He felt bad for her, yet such a feeling was surpassed by his longing to keep her with him.  After everything was over, she said, "I hate you."  He closed his eyes. When he opened them, he suppressed the pain in them and said, pretending that he didn't care, "Whatever."  He thought, 'You can hate me. Even though you want to hate me, I'm the only one you are going to hate.  I don't care about anything else, as long as I'm the only one in your world. You may choose to love me or hate me as you want.'  It was just that the moment she said she hated him, he felt his heartache killing him.  The day of Harr
