The next day. Aris walked mit of the bedroom to find Margaret had prepared lavakfast as umal. “Luna Aria, you’re up. By the way, Alpha Ravencrest asked me to tell you before he left that you don’t need to go to the hospital today. Just rest and recover.”
Aria frowned, her wolf immediately alert.
What did he mean by telling her not to go to the hospital?
Was be afraid she would cause more trouble for Seraphina?
At the hospital, Seraphina had been anxiously waiting for news about the previous night’s events, and the had a vague feeling that things had gone
She couldn’t just sit and wait to die.
She immediately called Kane.
Meanwhile, Cella had just finished reporting what had happened in the private room with Aria when Kane received Seraphina’s call.
He answered with a distinctly cold expression: “What is 1177
“Kane, why didn’t Dr. Ashworth come to the hospital today? I asked Dr. Ashworth to attend the investment project dinner with lean officials yesterday, but the officials said they never saw Dr. Ashworth show up.”

He ended the call and raised his eyes to meet Colis’s gaze. “Are those rogues now in the prison?”
Celia nodded
Kane leaned back in his chair, his Alpha authority radiating cold fury. “Check if they have previous criminal records. If they do, make sure they don’t get released forever.”
At noon. Ania returned to the hospital despite Kane’s directive.
Seraphina saw her approaching and immediately put on a worried expression. “Dr. Ashworth, why didn’t you attend the dinner meeting last night? The lycan officials were waiting for you for hours. Where did you go instead-”
“Stap
Aria struck her again, the sound echoing through the hospital corridor.
The nurses at the station were shocked beyond words. Aria had always maintained perfect professional composure throughout her years at the hospital, never losing her temper publicly
But she had now but Ms. Cress for the second time!
“Wasn’t last night’s setup deliberately arranged by you? What are you pretending for now? Arla stared at her with cold, wavering eyes

Seraphina covered her stinging cheek, gritting her teeth as she looked at Aria with mannfactured innocence “Dr. Ashworth, I don’t lennur talking about Are you mistaken about something?”
