Chapter 95: Throw it away
"Sure," Amelie agreed. "Do what you feel is right," she asserted.
"Thanks for trusting me," Gabriel said. "Do you want to rest more?"
Amelie shook her head. "You need not to worry for me. You saved me before anything could happen. Oh, did you have lunch?" she asked, "I suddenly crave for noodles."
Gabriel could see her hands were still trembling in fear, but doing her best to pretend she was fine.
"I didn’t have lunch," Gabriel replied. "I’ll ask the cook to prepare noodles for you and something light for me," he added.
"Why light? Eat your full meal. You are an alpha. Your diet intake is more," Amelie stated.
"I don’t have much appetite," Gabriel reasoned. The tense expression on his face made Amelie sense that he was still upset about everything that happened. He was too concerned for her.
Gabriel left her side. "I’ll return shortly," he said and walked out of the room.
Amelie got down from bed and went to the washroom to freshen up. She splashed the cold water on her face a few times before closing the tap. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she began talking with herself. "I thought if I would run away everything would turn fine. There would be no one to haunt me, but I was wrong."
A sigh escaped her mouth and she took the towel from the cupboard to dry her face. "If Flora did it, then she must bear the consequences," Amelie muttered before exiting the washroom.
"Amelie!" Katelyn stood up from the edge of the bed the moment she saw her. Without hesitation, she rushed forward and pulled Amelie into a warm embrace. "I’m so relieved nothing happened to you, or your pup. You suddenly ran off, and before I could catch up, the elevator doors had already closed."
