All Chapters of Exchange Help with Mr. Wolf: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

I fiddled with the necklace on my neck and watched from far away. I gaze at nothing in particular, but it gave me the freedom to think more. It's warm and soft, the kind where a marshmallow was on the fire for a few minutes. I'm still surprised by the wolf saving me. It feels like when my heartbeat quickens, it'll come out. I wonder if that is what will happen to other emotions. But Tyler said it was just when I'm in a dangerous situation, I guess the wolf could feel the difference. "Hey, I heard you're doing fine now." I turned to Neneuis, who joined me on the balcony. A couple of days have passed since I recovered, and I never saw Andrea since our talk by then, I tried calling her, but she's being stubborn , and I started believing she blocked my number. What's wrong with having friends who aren't human? Sure, I am human, but no rules said that I can't be friends with non-humans, and even if it has, I'll still be friends to wh

"Oh no, if I had known you'll bring your friend, I would've got you a grander gift." Mrs. Wander was a tall middle-aged woman who was not fat but not too skinny. She had wrinkles on her face and a prominent burned scar on her hands. "Oh no, this is too much already, Mrs. Wander, we're just away for days, we appreciate you," Neneuis said, touched by the gesture. We went inside a house that's made of wood trunks and was surprised when I saw the inside, it has the same color as when you cut the wood in two. We saw a man in a jumper holding a brush and a small bucket of paint exiting from the same door that we entered. "By the way, meet my son, Joshua Peterson. He helped Azi with his flamingo figurines." Mrs. Wanders proudly spoke of her son like he's her prize possession, I think that's normal from a mother. I hope my late mom thinks the same, too. "I'm Harriet," I said and offered my hand. Joshua was also tall, a bit muscly, and has a duck-shaped lip but was good-looking. "Hey,"

My eyes bulged, and I straightened my posture. my aching hand woke me to reality. "Ouch!" My hand got stabbed by the barbecue stick. "Harriet!" I looked at Lukas, who came immediately to my rescue and all the others too. Nene looked at my hand, and Lea came forward to clean it. It's a relief that the stab only went to the skin, though. Only a little blood gushed out, and I'm happy that Lea wanted to treat my wound. "You should be careful next time," she said, cleaning the wounded part with cotton balls. It stings, but I couldn't help but smile. "I thought you were mad at me. Thank you for talking to me." Lea avoided my gaze and at the same time murmured something in herself, I couldn’t fathom it, and she put the cotton ball hard to my wound that I cried for help. “Lea, that’s too much!” I exclaimed, taking away my hand, Nene and the others couldn’t hear us because they continued grilling the meat, and we were inside the tent, so I looked at her with teary eyes. “What did I do

Wow... So, this is what it feels like to be rejected. It feels like everything was swirling, and a lump in my throat suddenly blocked the air I breathe. It ended with Joshua entering the gate of the mental hospital first while I was left in the middle of the road, too stunned to speak. “Hey, Harriet, are you not coming with me?” Joshua called, and that put me back to reality, I mean, I already assumed the wrong thing and got embarrassed, right? Why would I make the same mistake twice? Once we stepped into the entrance door of the hospital, I saw the people in white gowns and nurses on night duty. Joshua made me sit in the lobby while he went to the nurses’ station, I wonder if he’ll be able to visit though because it’s beyond the visiting hours, and it's late at night, for heaven’s sake. I’m sure he’ll come back looking down as he tries to rub his embarrassment. But alas, I was wrong. The nurses’ station was right on my peripheral vision, so after some time, he went back to me

"It's not like we don't have a reason why we want you out, Harriet. we have, we're not that harsh..." Neneuis scrunched up her face as she finally stopped in front of me and crossed her arms. She shifted her weight from foot to foot and darted at me. "It's because Tyler has to do other things than to babysit you, Harriet."That was a big blow on my chest, it's like she's implying that I'm childish, which I never gonna deny, I tend to be childish but that's just because I'm close to a person, and I'm not that overly childish, or guess not all the time... I admit that I crossed the lines a few times, and maybe that's what Neneuis and her friends saw in me, that I'm overreacting, a dramaqueen, and clingy. "Yeah, and you could add to the reason that he already found his luna long ago, and no one could replace her," Lukas added, moving to his side, gawking at me as if his pitying me that I'm in this situation. He knew Neneuis was a big bully, and it saddened that Lukas could only just
