Chapter 175: The Truth.

No one had an answer to what Miss Valois was asking. They never thought she knew so much. Angela felt her chest tighten because she knew that if she didn’t say something now to save the situation, everyone would be in trouble, and it would all be because of her.

"Kael got sick. It was really bad and they went to the hospital in my town to find help," Angela said quickly. The words were not even hers. Stormy kept pushing her, and she found herself repeating after her wolf. "Before you ask why we didn’t come to the school hospital, they only wanted to see Dr. Dylan, maybe book an appointment, and if possible take some tests."

"Why didn’t they do it here?" the principal asked, her eyes narrowing with confusion. "What kind of sickness is it?"

"We are not sure yet," Angela replied without pause. Stormy had given her that answer, and she was grateful her wolf was guiding her. "Kael thinks it has something to do with his genes. And Dr. Dylan is a wonderful doctor in that area. He could help with diagnosis and know exactly what is wrong with him."

She noticed how worry suddenly appeared on Miss Valois’s face. The woman seemed relieved that they had gone for a good reason and that it had nothing to do with Evan’s case.

"I am so sorry for blaming you. I was scared that you might be out making mistakes," the principal said softly, her shoulders easing with relief.

"I told you already we were not doing that. I had my birthday celebration today, and we spent the day preparing for it," Angela explained. She thought she was good at lying, but Stormy was much better. Together, they managed to calm the principal down.

But when she looked at Mr. Slade, her stomach sank. His face was stiff, his jaw tight, and his eyes burning with something close to anger. She felt her throat go dry. "Are you still mad at us, Mr. Slade?" she asked carefully.

The room went quiet, and every pair of eyes moved toward him. He looked surprised, as if he hadn’t expected her to call him out.

"You don’t look happy, even though we should all be happy now," Angela said with a faint smile that did not reach her eyes. If Mr. Slade could pretend and keep secrets, then she could do the same while still showing him respect.

It was clear to her that he knew she was a girl, but for some reason, he refused to say it out loud.

"Me?" he asked, placing his hand on his chest as though to act surprised.

"Are there two Mr. Slades here?" Renn asked from behind.

"I don’t think so," Taros replied with a shake of his head. He turned to Beta Slade and added, "We didn’t say the Beta. She said Mr. Slade."
