Janiya stood frozen in her tracks, eyes widened in disbelief.
Suddenly, a look of anger crossed her face as she questioned, “Caleb, is Debra more important to you than your efforts to acquire the town?”
Without a moment’s hesitation, I nodded in affirmation.
“Yes, she is very important to me.”
Perhaps I had been uncertain before, but after today, I became absolutely certain.
Debra wasn’t just my mate; I loved her deeply. Nothing held greater importance to me than her.
“Caleb, you despicable bastard!” Janiya seethed with fury as she issued her threat. “Wait and see. I will make you regret this!”
After uttering those words, she stormed off in anger.
With an angry kick, she struck the door before leaving.
The sound of her high-heeled shoes receded into the distance until it could no longer be heard, as the door slammed shut behind her.
“Caleb, have you truly made your decision?” Carlos wore a serious expression. “If you sever ties with Janiya today, all the efforts you’ve made thus far would be rendered futile.”
A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y
“I know.”
The only reason I had tolerated Janiya for so long was because of the town purchase.
However, at that moment, I wasn’t in the mindset to dwell on it.
I firmly stated, “If it means Debra can wake up, I’m prepared to sacrifice everything I possess.”
Debra was the epitome of importance to me, surpassing anything and everything else. The mere thought of her lying motionless in a bed caused a sharp ache in my heart.
“Fine.”
Carlos let out a sigh, having observed the unwavering determination in my expression.
After swiftly resolving the situation with Janiya, I promptly returned to the ward. Debra’s face remained pale. She appeared incredibly frail, resembling a delicate porcelain doll, as if the slightest touch could shatter her.
Concern flooded my thoughts as I anxiously prayed in my head, hoping that she would find the strength to overcome her current condition.
Damien, known for his short temper, implored God in prayer, “Please,
God, let her wake up! I’ve only encountered Ivy once, and she is the most beautiful wolf in existence. Please don’t be so cruel as to snatch her Life away!”
Fearing any further harm befalling Debra, I positioned myself steadfastly by her bedside, refusing to depart from the ward.
Soon, darkness enveloped the surroundings. During the night, Debra’s condition took a sudden turn for the worse. She struggled to catch her breath, and her face grew alarmingly pale. The medical equipment emitted jarring noises, heightening the sense of urgency.
Overwhelmed with anxiety, I dashed out of the ward in a frantic attempt to summon the doctor.
