I was so shocked that I forcefully Lifted up Vicky’s blouse. Countless wounds littered her skin.
There was not a single spot on Vicky’s body that wasn’t wounded.
No wonder she couldn*t come to see me sooner. Perhaps she didn’t even have the strength to get out of bed.
I could only imagine how much pain she was in.
A terrible rage consumed my heart, causing me to tremble all over. Seeing this, Vicky hurriedly comforted me, saying, “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
“Vicky, what happened?” I begged her for answers. “Tell me!”
Vicky sighed and gave in. “After you were locked up, I tried to prove your innocence, knowing that Marley wouldn’t let you go so easily. I tried to look for a witness who could prove that Caleb had taken you away that night, but Marley found me…”
“She was the one who lashed you, wasn’t she?” I ground my teeth, seething with rage.
Vicky didn’t deny it. She just smiled and said gently, “It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t hurt at all. Don’t worry about me.”
I shook my head, feeling terribly guilty.
I had lied to Vicky, but she only thought about how to save me. She never thought of blaming me for lying to her.

“Vicky, I promise I’ll be good once I’m released.” With tears in my eyes, I held Vicky’s hands and squeezed them reassuringly. “I swear I’ll Listen to you from now on.”
“Okay.” Like my mother, Vicky smiled at me dotingly. She touched my cheek and whispered, “Don’t cry. You’re a grown woman.”
Even though Vicky tried her best to Look relaxed, I could still see the worry in her eyes.
After all, this was no trifle matter. Now that the news of my pregnancy had spread throughout the pack, it was absolutely crucial that my claim be verified so that the reputation of the pack wouldn’t be ruined. Otherwise, my father would not Let me go.
“Vicky, don’t worry. I wasn’t Lying to my father. The baby’s father is Caleb.”
Caleb was my mate-the one and only man I had slept with.
“That’s good.” Vicky let out a sigh of relief. “This place is heavily guarded. Only when Caleb confirms it will you be released.”
Only Caleb could save me now.
I couldn’t wait for him to corroborate my claim.
However, the next day, my father delivered some heartbreaking news.
