Ethan looked at me, my eyes red and swollen from crying and my face covered in tears. He reached out with a
handkerchief to helpwipe them away.
Before his hand could touch me, | coldly brushed it away. My wolf rejected his comfort.

Ethan's hand froze in mid-air. He silently retracted it, his Alpha pride wounded by my rejection.
Dr. Harrison Fletcher approached with the follow-up report, breaking the tense moment.
Learning that Mom's recovery was progressing well, Ethan took the initiative to offer, "Mrs. Winters, Olivia, I'll
drive you both home."
Mom coldly refused, her human instincts protective of me. "No need."
Knowing that she had misunderstood Ethan's intentions earlier, Mom didn't think she was wrong to slap him. The

"Ethan Stone, Victoria deserves to face pack justice, but you are an accomplice."
"If it weren't for you, how would she have had the chance to kill Lily? And how could we have waited until today
