“Stand down! This is a personal matter between Ms. Carson and me! She’s already shown mercy. Otherwise, I’d be dead!”

He coughed twice, spitting out blood. Despite this, he still faced me with respect and gratitude. “Thank you, Ms. Carson, for sparing my life.”

“You truly are smart.” I didn’t even lift my eyelids. “Xavier showed wisdom entrusting the black market to you.”

“Ms. Carson, you flatter me.” He lowered his head weakly, not daring to utter a harsh word.

With a slight nod, I turned and walked towards the stands, helping Benjamin to his feet, “How are you feeling?”

“It’s nothing serious, just a bit weak,” Benjamin said.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Carson. This substance only causes momentary weakness without lasting harm. Your fiancé, being a high–ranking werewolf, will recover quickly,” Silas explained.

“Minimal harm is still unacceptable! He’s the most important person to me!” I snapped coldly.

Silas was taken aback but quickly responded with deference, “You’re right. I’ll hurry the antidote over immediately!”

As he finished speaking, someone brought the antidote.

Silas handed it over with both hands.

I took the antidote, opened it, and handed it to Benjamin. “Take it. With me here, they wouldn’t dare use something fake.”

Benjamin smiled wryly, saying nothing, and drank the antidote.

I watched him intently, anxiety visible in my eyes. Benjamin teased, “I didn’t see you this nervous up on stage.”

“They aren’t as important as you,” I blurted out. Realizing what I had said, I bit my lip, quickly changing the topic, “Feeling better?”

“Yeah.” I nodded.

For some reason, even though Benjamin was only slightly poisoned, I couldn’t shake my fear and worry.

Although I now knew that the man wouldn’t kill Benjamin, thinking back to the scene still made my heart

If something happened to Benjamin, I’d lose my fighting spirit immediately.

I wished I could guard Benjamin myself at all times.

But as Alpha of the Midnight Pack, his pride wouldn’t allow him to be under my protection.

With this in mind, I began contemplating a solution that wouldn’t hurt Benjamin’s pride yet would ensure his safety.

Consumed by these thoughts, I pondered all the way home.

In the carriage, Benjamin rested quietly after taking the medicine.

Henry, sitting next to him, had fallen asleep from exhaustion.

As I continued thinking, the sudden ring of my phone broke my focus.

Distractedly, I answered, “Who is this?”

“Michelle! Michelle, you finally answered!”

“Hurry! Get to the hospital! The doctor says it’s critical. Come see your brother one last time; he wants to see you!”

Virginia’s voice, heavy with panic and tears, quivered through the phone, clearly distressed.

Her words struck me with alarm.

My brow furrowed, and I gripped the phone tighter, urgently asking, “Which hospital? Tell me!”

“Central Hospital! Central Hospital!” Virginia shouted.

Her voice echoed through the phone and filled the carriage.

Beside me, Benjamin opened his eyes, sitting up straight with a concerned look.

“I’ll be there soon. Don’t be afraid; he’ll be fine.” I forced myself to stay calm, speaking steadily before hanging up.

Inside, however, panic and urgency swelled.

Benjamin took my phone, drew me into his arms with one hand, and placed his other hand on mine, trying to comfort me.
