Chris cast a wary glance at Nelly, his inner wolf conflicted.
“You’ve made a mistake,” Nelly growled, her gaze drilling into the doctor.
Unbeknownst to the doctor, he remained clueless about their past feud. He flashed a confident grin, “You underestimate a doctor’s memory.”
“You couldn’t be more wrong.” Nelly’s voice dripped with frustration. Without another word, she snarled, “I have other matters to attend to. I’ll be gone.” And with that, she left in a hurry.
In the hospital ward, everyone exchanged bewildered looks.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Meanwhile, the doctor, ignorant to the tension, carried on with his check-ups.
“Doctor?” Chris called out.
“What?”
“Are you sure she paid for my hospital bills?”
“She claims you asked her to cover them. Is there an issue?” the doctor asked.
After a long silence, Chris shook his head, “No…”
As the doctor sauntered away, an indescribable tension engulfed the hospital ward.
“Is Chris Ms. Jackson’s type?” Tommy couldn’t help but ask.
Glancing at Chris, Ross lamented, “Ms. Jackson is fantastic, but she’s naive…”
Nelly wasn’t doing anonymous good deeds. Her only aim was to avoid trouble.
As she left the hospital, she hailed a taxi and went home.
But just as she departed, three young wolves arrived.
In the bustling hospital, the trio stuck out like sore thumbs, catching passersby’s attention.
Tony glanced at his phone before pocketing it. “He’s on the fourth floor. If we go together, it’ll attract unwanted attention. We must split up.”
“All right.” Ben nodded.
“Both of you go in first,” Donna suggested.
“Okay. Stay here. Don’t move,” Tony warned.
“Don’t fret. It’s not my first time outside.” Donna reassured with a grin.
Tony and Ben headed inside.
Feeling a hint of boredom, Donna paced around the entrance. Suddenly, a couple hurried past her, not noticing her. They knocked her over, causing her to tumble to the ground.
Without noticing their mistake, the couple criticized, “Why isn’t anyone keeping an eye on this pup? She’s running wild!”
Donna rose to her feet and glared at the woman. “Ma’am, your eyesight must be terrible. You collided into me while walking. I didn’t even move.”
“Stop fibbing, you brat! How uncivilized!” the woman sneered with contempt.
Uncivilized?
Donna’s fury ignited within her. “My mama told me that it takes all kinds. There’s no need to be civil to the uncivilized. Ma’am, you collided into me! Apologize!”
“Apologize to you? Little pup, are you mistaken? You were the one running around and knocked into me. I didn’t even scold you for it! How were you raised? Such a disobedient pup.” With those words, the woman prepared to leave.
“How were you raised? You knocked into me. But because I’m still young, you think you can tell a blatant lie. Is that how you plan to raise your pups in the future?” Donna retorted fearlessly.
Her resolve mirrored Nelly’s.
Hearing Donna hit the nail on the head, the woman darkened. “If you keep blabbering, I’ll smack you.”
“Stop.”
Suddenly, a deep voice resonated behind Donna.
She turned around and saw Alpha Kilian standing there, his presence commanding attention. Her eyes lit up. “Mr. Handsome!” She dashed towards him, and as he caught her in his arms, she pretended to be the victim. “Someone’s bullying me…”
Fury glinted in Alpha Kilian’s eyes as he strode towards the couple.
“Who are you?” the couple asked, feeling intimidated by his dignified presence.
Just as Alpha Kilian was about to speak, Donna wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her face against him. “He’s my daddy.”
Alpha Kilian stood in stunned silence, not expecting her to say that. When he gazed down at Donna, it felt as though she truly was his pup.
“Didn’t you say I’m uncivilized? Didn’t you want to hit me? Go ahead, try it! After all, my daddy is nothing special. He’s just the CEO of Morris Corporation!” Donna boasted.
Although they may not have seen Alpha Kilian before, the reputation of Morris Corporation was well-known among the Moonwalk Pack.
Immediately, the couple’s faces clouded with dread.
“You’re skilled in speaking nonsense! Not only did you deny bumping into me, but you’re also causing trouble!” the woman snarled.
Alpha Kilian regained his composure and glanced at the surveillance cameras. “There are cameras here. If you’re telling the truth, I’ll make my pup apologize and compensate you. But if you’re lying… I’ll handle it my own way,” Alpha Kilian growled.
Understanding the precarious situation they were in, the man quickly interjected, “Mr… Alpha Morris, we’re sorry. We were wrong. Please forgive us…”
But Alpha Kilian ignored him and continued staring down the woman.
Finally realizing the severity of the situation, the man tugged on his companion’s arm, signaling her to apologize.
Reluctantly, she lowered her head. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.”
“Don’t apologize to me. Apologize to my pup,” Alpha Kilian instructed.
Though reluctant, the woman looked at Donna and muttered, “I’m sorry.”
“I can’t hear you!” Donna raised her chin.
As Alpha Kilian observed her lively and adorable nature, a spark of affection ignited within him.
Feeling embarrassed, the woman repeated, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.”
Only then did Donna nod. “Fine! Since you’ve apologized, I’ll forgive you. But remember, I’m more civilized than you, so I won’t hound you.”
The woman was left speechless. Despite the fury boiling inside her, she had no choice but to suppress it.
After their apology, and realizing that Alpha Kilian wouldn’t cause a scene, the couple hastily fled.
Alpha Kilian gazed down at Donna. “You’re quite fearless, young pup.”
