Chapter 538

Sherry:

Ever since I found out that Graham’s father had lost his children and that his wife had been admitted in critical condition, I knew Graham must have broken down.

Not because he was genuinely worried about the children, but because it probably reminded him of his own loss.

I knew it was risky for me to go in front of everyone at that time to comfort him, but it was necessary. At that moment, I knew he needed me. So I put every fear aside and went to see him.

When I arrived at the hospital, the atmosphere made it clear they had suffered a loss, the loss of their Alpha and a council leader’s children.

There were no smiles on the doctors’ faces. Even if they wanted to smile, they would not. They had to appear sorrowful.

I reached the lobby and found out they had secured a separate room for Graham, his father, and his family. They were alone in one private lobby room.

His father was sitting on a comfortable sofa as if there were no life left in his body, his head turned to the side, his eyes blinking without any soul in them. Graham was sitting in front of him, lost in thought, while Kaylee stood beside him in tears.

“How could this have happened? It feels like we are cursed,” she complained softly, placing a hand on his shoulder for comfort. He shrugged it off, rejecting her touch.

At that moment, I knew I was not supposed to feel that way, but a small smile touched my lips. It felt like a little victory that he was avoiding his wife.

That was when I took a deep breath and approached them.

“Alpha Graham,” I said.

As soon as I spoke his name, he lifted his head sharply and rose from his seat. Kaylee followed his movement and began watching us closely.

Graham moved toward me quickly until he realized we were in a public place, and then he slowed down.

“Reporter Sherry, what are you doing here?” he asked.

There was a plea in his eyes, a wish that we were alone so he could hug me and I could comfort him.

“I had a family member admitted here. I came and found out about the sad news, so

I decided to speak with you,” I whispered, trying to remain composed and professional.

“Really? You want us to believe you felt bad for us?” Kaylee stepped out from behind Graham to confront me.

I looked her up and down before turning back to Graham, silently reminding him to calm his fucking wife down.

“Kaylee, go get water for my father,” Graham ordered, dismissing her with a sharp hand gesture.

She opened her mouth to complain, then thought better of it. Not wanting to face Graham’s wrath, she walked away.

Once she started to walk away, I smiled at Graham.

“I have been missing you, and I was so worried about you,” I whispered, mouthing the words.

He looked like he could melt under my gaze, as if he desperately wanted me there with him instead of his stupid-ass wife.

“Anyway, I just wanted to come here and see you one last time. But I will wait for you, okay? Please come to me whenever you feel down,el requested.

We were both looking into each other’s eyes as if we wanted to be with each other more than ever.

Then Kaylee arrived.

“Your father is not accepting water from me. Can you give him water if you are free?” she snapped.

From the way she spoke to Graham, I understood she was going to cause trouble.

Graham clenched his jaw and turned to her. He snatched the glass from her hand, and I knew she was no longer wanted by him.

I turned around and stepped away. Then I went straight to my car and drove all the way back to my pack, Ron’s pack.

Once I reached there, I decided to head to the one place I wanted to be, to see Yuvonne, the one whose sister was after Graham’s peace.

When I arrived, I saw Yuvonne standing on the rooftop, and Madeline on the

ground, screaming for her not to do it.

Before my eyes, Yuvonne let herself go.

My heart stopped. I was not fast enough to reach her and stop it.

But then a hand shot out from behind, and her body dangled in midair, held tightly

and pulled back by Alpha Byron.

I could only imagine what this family was going through. It was midnight, and they were facing this situation all because Yuvonne was in trouble

I watched Byron lift Yuvonne and carry her down while Madeline began to relax. She was still crying untik Yuvonne appeared in front of her.

Her whine made me look down, and I placed a hand on my chest. I was not as strong as I pretended to be.

Watching someone I had called my friend go through so much that she believed ending her life was the only option broke me.

My knees felt weak. Thankfully, it all happened within seconds, and she was rescued.

Then I decided to step forward as well.
