Alpha's Substitute Bride - Chapter 44
Chapter 44: She Doesn’t Want To See You
Atticus’ POV:
“You’re looking for Eloise? She’s already doing the same thing as you.” The Beta was busy taking more drugs out of the box. He didn’t even turn to look at me.
“But didn’t I get those herbs for her?” I couldn’t believe my ears.
I didn’t need her to take such a risk!
Since we were still mates, I’d help her with some things.
“I understand you’re thinking the same thing as you said, but it’s a pity that she doesn’t believe you.” He finally put down the box and turned around.
“Why didn’t she believe me? But… ” I looked at him in confusion.
“I’ve talked to her about this before. From what she said, I don’t think she likes you. I think that’s the reason,” he answered seriously.
His expression didn’t seem to be lying.
I understood now. I had to go to her and deal with it. Otherwise, I was afraid I’d never be able to forgive myself.
“In that case, I should go to her.”
“Do you think you can save her in your current condition?” The Beta sat next to me and asked curiously.
“But at least, I should go.” I sat up.
Only then did I realize how serious my wound was. It was already completely swollen. When I moved, my entire chest was in pain.
But I couldn’t care about it now.
“Alright. After all, I can’t let you regret it.” He sighed and put a bag of medicine in my hand.
“Apply it to your wound. This way, you’ll be able to hold on for a while longer,”
I left the pack as fast as I could. Then, I saw the set of footprints near the ancient tree. Her shoes were very special, and the footprints were clear in the mud.
At that moment, a loud noise came from the cave. It must mean that something had happened to Eloise.
I couldn’t care about anything else and quickly ran in that direction. I only hoped I could save her from that before she was injured.
But why was Soren here?
I felt like I couldn’t think anymore.
The monster fell not far away. He was hugging Eloise and shouting, but his actions were too despicable to me. Why was it him and not me?
However, she was still lying there, so I got out of my daze as quickly as I could. I had to ensure her safety before I thought about other things.
“What are you doing here?” I accused him.
“I heard they lost contact with her, so I came here.” There was even a hint of pride on Soren’s face.
“But this is a special pack. How did you come in?”
“Because I came from there.” He pointed at the sky. I saw a helicopter hovering there. It looked like they were about to take Eloise away from here.
But she was my mate, so she should leave with me no matter what. What would it be like if she was taken away by Soren?
Besides, we were not divorced yet, so it was only right for me to take care of her.
“There’s a problem with my company’s staff, so naturally, I must take her away. This is my duty as the person in charge. ” He looked at me in surprise after I suggested.
“As for you, I wonder what identity you have to be by her side. It’s even affecting her medical treatment.”
“I will leave with you,” I said firmly.
“Alright, if you want to.” He made an inviting gesture.
“It’s our honor to be able to bring you back.”
“You shouldn’t move her like that.” I looked at the blood on the ground.
“No, she didn’t suffer any particularly serious injuries. It only looks scary; I’ve already checked it.” He helped Eloise to the side and placed her on a stretcher.
Then, a few staff members buckled her up firmly.
I tried my best to maintain my manners and went up to help. But Eloise pushed me away while she was still unconscious.
She didn’t need me, even if I was already standing by her side.
“When trust has been broken, Atticus, it is very difficult to repair it,” Soren told me solemnly.
Oh, Moon Goddess, why did such a thing happen?
I thought about her expression just now. She didn’t want me to hold her.
However, could it be that she had fallen in love with him? This should not have happened! After all, I was still her mate!.
