(Elena’s POV)

I hesitated, my hand frozen halfway to my phone. Adrian Whitmore waited patiently, his gentle amber eyes showing no pressure.

The truth was, I would be leaving the Northern Territory soon. How could I promise to help with his mother’s condition when I wouldn’t be here?

Adrian noticed my difficulty and stepped back slightly. “It was presumptuous of me.”

I shook my head quickly. “No, it’s just that my time in the Northern Territory won’t be too long. I can assist for a short time, but for a long time….

Relief flickered across his refined features. “A short time would also be fine.”

I pulled out my phone and added his contact information. “How should I address you?”

“Adrian Whitmore,” he replied simply.

My fingers froze over the screen. Whitmore? As in the powerful Whitmore Pack from Riverside City? The same family that commanded respect throughout the werewolf territories?

He noticed my stunned expression and asked gently, “And your name?”

“I am Elena Blackwood,” I managed to say.

His eyes widened slightly at the mention of the Blackwood name, but he maintained his composure.

After exchanging contact information, I said goodbye and left. As I walked away, I could feel Adrian’s thoughtful gaze following my retreating figure.

Back at Moonhaven Estate, I parked my car and glanced in the rearview mirror. My heart sank when I saw Marcus’s familiar vehicle pulling up behind me.

Marcus’s Personal Driver opened the rear door. Sophia stepped out first, holding Oliver in her arms. The boy’s leg was wrapped in healing bandages.

Marcus emerged from the car, his commanding presence filling the parking area. Sophia said something to him, and he reached out to take Oliver from her arms

The boy wrapped his small arms around Marcus’s neck, his face radiating pure happiness. This scene, no matter how many times I witnessed it, still caused me immense discomfort.

I had originally intended to wait for them to go upstairs before getting out. But then I thought – why should I hide when I had done nothing wrong?

I unfastened my seatbelt and got out of the car. As I closed the door, my hand slipped, and it slammed shut loudly.

Marcus turned to look at me, but his expression remained indifferent. Sophia deliberately moved closer to him, as if they were a mated couple.

“Healer Elena, what a coincidence!” Sophia’s voice was sickeningly sweet. “Marcus accompanied me and Que!

I laughed coldly. “I’m not interested in what you do. There’s no need to notify me, right? It makes me seem like your elder. Should I call you Luna?”

Sophia’s smile froze Instantly. Marcus’s gaze on me was meaningful, but I was too tired to care

I turned to enter the Residential Tower, but Sophia stepped forward to stop me.

“Healer Elena, I apologize for what happened that day. I shouldn’t have dragged you into the Moonstone Reflecting Pool and let Marcus misunderstand you. As long as you forgive me, I’ll do anything!”
