Chapter 593
Griffon looked down at the chat log, and then slowly raised his
eyes to look at Taya.
“Are you worried about me?”
His laid-back, casual voice was full of charm, as if he was deliberately bewitching her into telling him
what he wanted to
hear.
Taya didn’t fall for it. She simply stared at him closely, looking up
and down…
His deep and clear eyes were no longer bloodshot, but they still
had a faint trace of redness.
Her lipstick stained his thin lips, masking its natural shade, but
there was still an abnormal paleness to his face.
When Taya saw him like that, complex emotions ebbed in her gaze. She parted her lips slightly, and
when she was about to speak, Griffon suddenly leaned forward.
Taya’s heart trembled when his cedar fragrance grew closer. In an
awkward manner, she pressed herself against the car window.
As soon as she did that, she saw his neatly manicured fingertips
gently brushing past her cheeks before he stuck his palm to the
car window.
Having cornered her, Griffon lowered his gaze. “Taya, answer
me…”
When his handsome face approached her, she was met by a pair

The glowing starlight in his eyes gradually shone into hers. He
didn’t even have to try to charm her for her to subconsciously nod.
His thin and slightly pursed lips curved upward subtly. “I’m fine.
Don’t worry…”
His clear and powerful voice flowed into her ear. Like magic, it easily brought peace to her flustered
mind.
Even since he revealed his feelings to her, what he had told her
the most was not to worry about him.
Taya reached out, wanting to touch his cheek like she had in Washington. However, when she got
close to him, she suddenly
lost her courage.
She vaguely retracted her fingers and wanted to put them down,
but he grabbed her wrist.
He grabbed her hand and put it on his cheek tenderly. “Don’t be
She shouldn’t be afraid to touch him, love him, and start over
with him. He would let her experience the most unique love in the
world.
After a few seconds of silence, she spread her fingers gently on his face, feeling the abnormally cold
temperature of his body. Taya
frowned.
“Are you really okay?”
Griffon covered her small hand with his large palm and shook his
head.
“I’m fine,” he replied.
“Have you been to the doctor?” she asked.
Griffon didn’t respond. He continued staring at her with his elegant and attractive eyes, as if he wanted
to find a trace of
affection from the change in her expression.
Seeing that he didn’t speak, Taya belatedly realized that she
seemed to be too concerned. Thus, she lowered her head and didn’t dare to ask any more questions.
Griffon sn atched the phone from her, scrolled through her
contacts to look for Stella’s number before dialing it and putting the call on loudspeaker.
Seeing that he was calling Stella all of a sudden, Taya was a little puzzled. “Why are you calling
Stella?”
Griffon lowered his head, using the bridge of his nose to lightly poke her cheek. “You refuse to believe
that I’m fine, don’t you?”
He was saying that Stella knew about his illness, and getting Stella to tell Taya directly would reassure
her.
Despite that, if he were to take her mobile phone and use it to call Stella to ask about his condition,
there was no way Stella would dare to say otherwise.
“I believe you. Give my phone back!” she insisted.
Taya reached out to grab it, but he was one step ahead of her. He
leaned back with his arms. No matter how she tried, she couldn’t
reach it.
Taya was so angry that her face was flushed. At that moment,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhowever, Stella answered the phone. “Hi, Taya. What’s the
matter?”
Hearing Stella’s voice, Taya could only withdraw her gaze from Griffon to look at the phone screen.
“Sorry, I-I accidentally dialed the wrong number.”
Griffon turned his head to the side, subtly raising his bushy eyebrows. “Hm?”
Stella, who was leading a group of doctors on their rounds around
the hospital, heard Griffon’ voice. She was so shocked that she stopped in her tracks.
After standing there in a daze for a few seconds, she quickly withdrew her hand from the pocket of her
white coat and waved
to the group of doctors behind her.
After sending them off to make their rounds on their own, she
hurried to a corner, covering her phone and murmuring, “Are you with Alpha Knight?”
Stella had deliberately lowered her voice, fearing that Griffon would hear her. It made Taya feel
helpless. “Yes. It was an accident, so I’m hanging up.”
Once she finished speaking, she quickly raised her slender and
fair index finger to hang up, but Griffon grabbed her petite hand.
After forcibly interlocking their fingers, he muttered, “She’s
worried about my health. Tell her.”
The cold voice from the other end of the phone startled Stella,
but she soon came to her senses after understanding the hidden
meaning behind his words.
Stella put one hand in her pocket and held the phone in the other,
with a playful smile on her mouth. “Oh…”
