Counterback of the Despised Luna by Diana West

Chapter 243 Richard Coughs Up Blood The car ride to the hospital was enveloped in silence.

A subtle tension lingered in the confined space, making the atmosphere feel heavy.

I rested against the seat, staring out the window, though my mind wandered elsewhere.

Back then, I used to commute in Caden's car almost daily.

But now, Heidi had likely taken over that spot beside him.

What exactly was Heidi hiding? +8 Pearls Anthony hadn't uncovered anything useful about her yet, so for now, all I could do was wait. Sooner or later, she would make her move-and when that happened, I would be ready to strike back.

If my instincts were right, she wouldn't be able to keep up the act much longer.

The moment she slipped up, I'd expose her for who she truly was.

"Rosaline, we've arrived. Caden's deep voice pulledback to reality.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I followed him into the hospital and headed straight to Mr. Richard's ward. "Greetings, Mr. Holbrook, Ms. Sinclair. The two werewolf guards stationed at the door acknowledged us with a respectful nod.

"Has anything unusual happened lately?" Caden's voice was cold and authoritative.

One of the guards stepped forward and replied, "A few reporters tried to sneak in, but we handled them. Other than that, everything is normal." Caden gave a slight nod, showing little emotion.

Just as we were about to enter, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed from behind.

"Rosaline, stop right there!" I turned my head at the sharp voice and found Mrs. Holbrook approaching, heels clicking against the floor.

I raised an eyebrow. "What is it?" She ignoredand directed her attention to Caden instead. "Are you seriously letting Rosaline treat your grandfather?" Caden's expression darkened. "Yes." "Caden, aren't you worried that Rosaline might secretly harm Grandpa?" Queenie stepped forward, her glare sharp as daggers. "Rosaline, what schare you plotting this time?" Before I had a chance to respond, Caden's expression darkened. “Shut up, Queenie!" "Aunt Eleanor..." Queenie clutched Mrs. Holbrook's arm, looking distressed.

Chapter 243 Richard Coughs Up fond 45 Pearls of Rosaline! Mrs. Holbrook's voice rose in anger. And now you're letting her treat him? Are you serious "Exactly! Rosaline is just a lowly Omega from the countryside. She's never even been to medical school, let alone carned a license! How can you gamble with Grandpa's life like this? Queenie added, her tone dripping with disdain.

"So what?" I scoffed, my voice icy as I met their hostile gazes. "I have the right because I'm Hughie's apprentice!" The way they kept interfering seemed like they didn't want Mr. Richard to wake up. I couldn't help but wonder what their real intentions were "Caden, do you honestly believe Rosaline can heal your grandfather?" Mrs. Holbrook eyed him skeptically. Caden's jaw tightened, and his voice was firm. "Yes, I trust her" "Fine. Since you're so confident, will you take full responsibility if anything happens to him?" she challenged with a sneer.

Caden smirked, unwavering. "I will." That seemed to silence them. Without another word, Mrs. Holbrook and Queenie followed us into the ward.

"Leslie, how's my grandfather doing?" Caden asked as he approached the bedside, glancing at Leslie, who had been keeping watch.

Leslie stood up respectfully. "Dr. Williamson said that after Dr. Watts treatment, Mr. Richard's condition has shown improvement over the past few days." Relief flickered across Caden's face. "That's good to hear." I stepped forward. "Letcheck his pulse." Placing my fingers on Mr. Richard's wrist, I focused. His pulse was significantly stronger than before-a clear sign of recovery.

"How is he, Rosaline?" Caden asked, his concern evident.

I offered a reassuring smile. "His condition is stable. Based on Hughie's guidance, two more treatments should be enough to wake him up." "Then let's proceed with the next one." Caden checked his watch-it had been exactly three days since Hughie's last treatment.

"I need everyone to leave," I instructed.

Caden shot a glance around, and the others complied. He was the last to step out, givinga brief nod before closing the door behind him.

Now alone in the quiet ward, I retrieved the witch stone Hughie had leftand carefully placed it on Mr. Richard's chest. Pricking my finger, I let a drop of blood fall onto the stone.

Closing my eyes, I recalled the incantation Hughie had used, then began pacing slowly around the bed, chanting in a deep, steady rhythm. 09:04 Wed. 19 Mar Chapter 243 Richard Coughs Up Blood 995)

The only sound in the room was my voice. The Alpha blood on the witch stone gradually seeped in before vanishing entirely. After 30 minutes, the incantation was complete.

1 exhaled in relief and gathered the stone. "It's done When I opened the door, Caden was the first to enter.

"How is my grandfather now?" he asked urgen

"Everything went smoothly," I assured him, glancing at Mr. Richard. Tlm perform the next treatment in three days, and he should make a full recovery." Caden's gaze softened. "Thank you, Rosaline." I smiled faintly. "It's my responsibility." After all, I was partly to blfor his condition in the first place-it was only right that I helped him heal.

Just then, a faint coughing sound broke the silence.

Suddenly, Queenie gasped in alarm. "Something's wrong-Grandpa is coughing up blood!" 294 W mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
