Chapter 226
“Do you think you could keep it between us? I know you’re obligated to tell him whatever he asks since
he’s your Alpha, but…”
“Sure.”
Stella nodded and made her own request. “But you have to tell me what your relationship to him is.”
This was the first time she had seen her Alpha care so much about a woman, which made her a little
curious.
“I used to be his lover’s substitute, but now… we have no relationship,” she replied softly, trying to
seem as though she didn’t care.
Stella’s lips curved into a smile. “His lover? Are you talking about Tara?”
Taya nodded, and the smile on Stella’s face
She didn’t say anything else. After telling Taya to get
some rest, she turned around and walked out of the
room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Stella left, Taya couldn’t hold on any longer. She
closed her eyes and fell asleep.
She didn’t know how long she had slept, but the moment she opened her eyes, she saw Griffon sitting
next to her.
He was wearing a black sweater, and in the sunlight, his tanned skin and chiseled features were set off.
Though he looked casual, almost relaxed even, Taya
knew better.
He held a medical report, his eyes moving over the lines as he flipped through the pages one by one.
There was no change in his expression as he looked at the report. Stella must have made a fake report
for him.
She had kept her promise. Not only did she help Taya keep her illness a secret, but she also made a
fake report for her. Taya didn’t need to worry about it. But hadn’t Griffon already left before she fell
asleep? Why was he still by her bed? She struggled to sit up, but as soon as she moved, the wound on
her back was pulled, and pain shot through her. “Don’t move.” Seeing that Taya was moving around as
soon as she woke up, Griffon barked at her to stay still. He reached out to hold her shoulders and
turned her over.
With his help, Taya slowly turned her body to avoid touching the wounds on her back.
But she was thirsty…
She looked up at Griffon and saw that his face was
void of any emotion. She swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue. She reached out to get the
glass of water next to the bed, only to find that the blood on her hand had been washed clean. She had
even been changed into a hospital gown. “What do you want?” Before Taya could think about who had
dealt with her hands and clothes, she heard Griffon’s voice above her head.
“Water…”
He picked up the glass of water next to her, put his arm around her waist, lifted her up, and held the
cup
to her lips.
Taya was stunned for a second, and her eyes were full of doubt as she stared straight at him as if trying
to detect any subtle changes in his expression.
However, Griffon did not have any expression

only difference was that the way he looked at her
somehow seemed gentler.
As she slowly finished drinking the water, Griffon gently set her down, his movements so tender that
Taya began to wonder if the man in front of her was
an impostor.
“You…”
She wanted to ask him what was wrong.
However, Griffon stared at her and said solemnly, “I’ve already sent someone to look for a suitable
heart for you. Wait a little longer. I’ll do my best to cure you.”
His words were like a warm current that slowly flowed into the bottom of Taya’s heart, giving her a
glimmer of hope.
If she hadn’t known that she was in the late stage of
heart failure, she would probably have smiled and replied sweetly, “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
However, she couldn’t make a promise to him. “I’ve been looking for a suitable heart for many years but
haven’t found one. But you don’t have to worry. I can
