Chapter: 260

What he was indirectly trying to tell me was that he couldn’t punish

Janiya, his nobly-born fiancee for my sake, so the next best thing he could do was make her disappear.

I felt exhausted all of a sudden.

Caleb appeared determined to follow through with the plan to purchase

Roz Town. In his heart, there were several tings of greater importance than me and our child. We would never be his top priority.

“You should go out now. I have to rest,”

I told him expressionlessly.

Something in my expression must have clued him in to my anger because he tried to explain his decision.

“Debra, I will make sure Janiya gets punished when she returns to the pack. As you know, she is a Barton. I can’t allow her to wear electronic shackles in another pack. It will be detrimental to the reputation of the Thorn Edge Pack.”

No, it was for his own interests and reputation.

I sneered, lay on the bed and wrapped myself tightly in the quilt. I didn’t want to hear anything he had to say again.

After a while of talking without getting any response from me, he finally lost his patience. He sighed and stopped talking. The ward was silent for so long, I didn’t know when he left the ward.

The next day, the nurse took me downstairs for rehabilitation instead of Caleb.

I was convinced he was not here because he had to meet with Janiya. He needed to make her happy so he could buy Roz Town.

I thought it very ironic.

My mate went to butter up the person who hurt me instead of staying here to take care of me.

“Mommy |”

Suddenly, a familiar, childish voice came from behind me.

When I looked back, I saw Harlan and Elena.

“Mom, I miss you so much!” Elena shouted as she ran into my arms.

With tears streaming down her red eyes, she sobbed and earnestly apologized, saying, “Mommy, I’m sorry. I misunderstood you. I thought you were having fun without me. I didn’t know you were sick.”

She hugged me tightly and asked nervously, “Mommy, does it hurt?”

Debra’s POV:

I was caught off guard and my eyes shifted to Harlan. “Harlan, why did you tell Elena the truth?”

I had specifically emphasized to Harlan the importance of keeping the truth hidden from Elena.
