Chapter 125: Dangerous Gambit

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

At Riverside Medical Center, I had just completed a complex arteriovenous malformation surgery. The procedure had taken four hours, but the patient’s werewolf healing abilities would ensure a full recovery.

Director Thompson approached me as I removed my surgical gloves. He was an old colleague of Director Eric

Taylor from the Central Healing Institute.

“Excellent work, Healer Elena,” he said warmly. “Director Taylor’s recommendation was spot–on.”

I smiled politely. “Thank you for the opportunity, Director Thompson.”

“I want you to know that you have my full support here,” he continued. “Professional networks are crucial in our healing community, especially for someone with your exceptional skills.”

His words carried weight. Having allies in the medical field would be invaluable for my future independence.

After leaving the medical center, my phone buzzed with a text message from Nathan Sterling. My stomach tightened as I read his request to meet at a hotel’s Western restaurant.

I hesitated, remembering our previous conversation where I had made it clear we owed each other nothing. My suspicion grew as I recalled that Professor Theodore was unaware of Nathan’s supposed obligation to

look after me.

He had lied from the beginning.

Just as I was about to ignore the message, another text arrived: “I can tell you everything.”

Those four words made me pause. What did he mean by “everything“?
