Araceli POV
I looked sideways and saw a wolf pup.
His fur was silver and looked as smooth as silk. Moreover, his eyes were golden and full of imperial majesty.
I froze for a moment.
Wait a minute... I seemed to see Raphael in him...
I looked back and realized that he was the boy who had helped me, Micah. He had just been talking to me with mind-link.
The man covered his eyes and screamed in agony.
I calmly rushed over and without hesitation slit the man's throat.
Blood gushed out.
Micah rushed up as well, tearing into the other two men's bodies.
"There is a wolf here! Fuck!"
One of the men shouted, pulling out a knife and preparing to stab Micah.
I saw it and immediately rushed up and slit the man's throat.
His eyes lost their sparkle, and his hand instantly let go.
The knife fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Just as I was breathing a sigh of relief, Micah suddenly let out a howl of pain.
What had happened?
I looked down and saw that the wound on his leg was bleeding.
He was still hurt trying to save me.
I felt so guilty that I tore a piece of cloth from my dress and bandaged his wound.
The blood instantly soaked through the white fabric.
At that moment, Eliezer hurriedly arrived.
Micah heard footsteps and stared warily at the door. The moment Eliezer walked in, he immediately rushed out, and Eliezer was shocked and almost got knocked down by him.
Eliezer looked at the blood all over the floor and hurried over to me, asking, "Araceli, what happened?"
I shook my head, not explaining.
Eliezer saw the injuries on my body and seemed to guess something.
"Melany actually tried to kill you!" Eliezer was shaking with anger. "That crazy bitch! Araceli, don't worry, I'll take care of this. This time, I won't let Eclipse off easily! Alright, I'll take you to the hospital first."
Eliezer held me up and walked out. Luckily, there was no one here. After that, Eliezer called someone to dispose of the bodies of the men in the conference room. I breathed a small sigh of relief.
I got in the car. Eliezer drove to the hospital.
The good thing was that I was only traumatized and in shock.
Lying on the bed in the hospital room, Micah's face kept appearing before my eyes.
If it wasn't for this boy today, I wouldn't have been able to escape.
Micah saved me.
I thought about his face and frowned slightly.
To tell the truth, I somehow felt that Micah looked very much like Krish.
Could this be my mistake?
I shook my head in an attempt to push these thoughts out of my head.
I must have been shocked and hallucinating.
I sighed and closed my eyes.
...
After the infusion, I felt much better.
I was leaning against bed, eating dinner, when Reynaldo came in with Krish and Valeria.
"Mommy! Are you okay? How do you feel?"
Krish asked me with a worried look on his face as he walked over to bed.
I smiled and touched his face. "Baby, I'm fine. I just have a cold and feel a little dizzy."
Reynaldo sat on the edge of the bed. "Krish just doesn't believe me. I said you were fine, but he insisted on coming to the hospital."
He looked at me and continued to say, "Araceli, this is my first time in New York. I was hoping you'd take me and the two kids around, but you suddenly got sick. C'est pas de chance."
I narrowed my eyes and said to him, "You can get the hell out of my house tonight and go back to where you belong."
Reynaldo picked Valeria up in his arms. "Vallie, your mommy is so mean to me! I'm so pathetic. Baby, what are you going to do? Will you let me stay at your house?"
I shook my head helplessly and saw Krish turn around and leave the ward.
I didn't think much of it, thinking he might have gone to the toilet.
Reynaldo told Valeria and me some interesting stories he had encountered in France. It wasn't long before I heard the sound of the door opening.
I looked up and saw Raphael's face.
I was drinking water. After seeing Raphael's cold face, I suddenly choked and coughed violently.
Reynaldo rushed to pat me on the back. "Araceli, are you okay?"
I glanced at Raphael, and suddenly, the temperature in the ward seemed to have become much cooler.
I took another sip of water, swallowed it, and felt much more comfortable.
I looked up at the man standing in the doorway and calmly said, "Mr. Lancaster, why are you here?"
Raphael's face was somber, as if a thick dark cloud was hanging over it.
He snorted, "Ms. Chancey, do you remember you promised me yesterday to come to my office this afternoon to talk to me about cooperation? Since you stood me up, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
I frowned slightly and coughed twice. I did miss the appointment. It was my fault.
I sat up straight, pretended to be calm, and said with some surprise, "Mr. Lancaster, I'm sorry. Did you come all the way out here this time just to ask me for an explanation?"
He obviously could have asked his secretary to call me and ask for clarification.
Did he have nothing to do all day? How else would he have had time to come here specifically to see me?
"I was just passing by."
Raphael said coldly, without expression.
I pursed my lips.
So that was it. How could he have come to the hospital just to see me?
I said politely, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lancaster, but I suddenly felt dizzy this afternoon, so I wasn't able to make it to see you. I'll make another appointment with your secretary."
Raphael stared at me with a slight frown.
I turned my head slightly and saw that Reynaldo had been watching Raphael warily.
Suddenly, Reynaldo smiled and stood up. He looked down and kissed me on the forehead.
What the fuck?
I froze completely.
"It's good that you're okay, ma chérie. I was really worried about you."
I whispered, frowning, looking at Reynaldo. "Shut up! What are you doing?"
Reynaldo smiled confidently and looked at Raphael, raising an eyebrow.
I just felt my face burning.
I looked up and saw Raphael clenching his fists, as if there was fire in his eyes.
Just as I was about to say something, Krish pushed the door open and walked in.
