Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 143

Relief washed over me when Dr. Bennett confirmed that Grandmother wasn’t in serious

danger. Her collapse had terrified me more than I cared to admit. Beside me, I noticed Olivia’s

shoulders slump as tension drained from her body.

The sudden release of pressure made her sway slightly. Without thinking, I reached out to

steady her, my hand hovering near her elbow.

She flinched away as if burned, her emerald eyes flashing with rejection. “Don’t touch me.”

Before I could respond, she rushed toward the gurney where the medical staff was wheeling

Grandmother from the emergency room. The elderly woman looked frail against the white

sheets, her usually commanding presence diminished by illness.

Olivia reached Grandmother’s side, her steps hurried but careful. She gently took the

Matriarch’s hand, whispering words I couldn’t hear. The tenderness in her gesture made my

chest tighten with an emotion I couldn’t name.

Dr. Fletcher approached me, his expression professional. “We’re moving her to the private

wing. You should prepare for a potentially lengthy recovery period.”

I nodded, watching as they wheeled my grandmother away, Olivia walking alongside, never

determine when she will awaken.”

“But she will recover?” The question came from Olivia, who sat on the opposite side of the bed. She hadn’t left Grandmother’s side except for brief necessities.

“The shock to her system was significant,” Dr. Bennett explained. “Her body needs time to heal

naturally.”

I clenched my jaw, frustration building. “There must be something more we can do.”

“Her constitution is strong,” he assured us, “but at her age, we must be patient.”

Patience had never been my strong suit, especially when it came to matters beyond my

control.

After another hour of silent vigil, I couldn’t stand the stillness of the room any longer. “I need to check on some pack business. Call me immediately if there’s any change.”

Olivia didn’t even look up as I left.

Alone at Imperial Gardens, I retreated to my study. The emptiness of the house pressed in around me, a physical reminder of all I had lost–or perhaps never truly had.

I sat at my desk and accessed the cloud backup of the residence’s surveillance footage. With a few keystrokes, I extracted all clips related to Lily. My fingers hovered over the keyboard,

suddenly hesitant.

But my involvement had ended there. Preoccupied with pack business and… other matters, I rarely returned to Imperial Gardens. I had been largely absent from Lily’s life from the
