After I Amazed the World the Cold Alpha Regretted

Chapter 209

Leo stared at her, confused and alarmed. "What are you talking about?"

The maid's words tumbled out in a rush, her hands clasped together as though begging for forgiveness.

"That night... the phone call. It wasn't Luna who ignored it. I picked it up! The study phone was ringing, and I was afraid it would disturb Luna's sleep. She hadn't rested properly in almost a month... so I answered it. But the signal was terrible, the voice on the other end kept breaking up, and I... I couldn't hear what they were saying. So I hung up. Later, I told Luna, and she immediately called back..."

The maid's voice broke, and she sobbed harder, shaking her head.

yas me, Alpha. I picked up the phone. Not Luna. She didn't mean to hang up... she didn't know... she's innocent. It's my fault. I'm the sinner."

The maid, kneeling on the floor, sobbed uncontrollably.

She had been with the pack for a long time, always loyal, and Elizabeth had always been kind to her.

But now, her guilt consumed her. She choked out her words, barely able to breathe through her tears.

"If it wasn't for me," she cried, her voice breaking, "Alpha wouldn't have misunderstood Luna... Luna wouldn't have gone through all this! The hemorrhaging... the premature birth... it's all because of me!" Daria, standing nearby, shifted her gaze from the maid to Leo, her voice hoarse with emotion.

"It's true that Elizabeth didn't get your call," she said quietly. "But the moment she knew, she set off with the medication at the first opportunity. She was trying to help, but halfway there, she was attacked..." She couldn't finish the sentence, her throat tightening with sorrow.

Leo stood still, his face pale as a ghost, drained of all color.
