Scalded By Grief
Scalded By Grief
Taya instinctively covered her red and painful face, which had been scalded. Harper rushed over and hugged Taya, protecting her in her arms. Preston quickly pushed away the porridge in Gigi's hand, while Johnny grabbed Gigi's wrist. "What are you doing?" Johnny furrowed his brow and glared at Gigi. "Zack sacrificed himself for Griffon willingly, it wasn't Griffon forcing him. It was his own choice. And if you want to blame someone, blame Griffon. Why are you splashing porridge on Taya?" Gigi, who had lost her composure, completely ignored Johnny's words and pushed him away like a madwoman. Johnny, who was still recovering from his gunshot wound, was almost knocked out by the pain when she pushed him and strained his wound.. Johnny had to steady himself by holding onto the table, and the pain from his wound left him speechless for a moment. "Zack died because of her mated-wolf, shouldn't she have to endure this?" Gigi, who was in a fit of madness, couldn't distinguish right from wrong. "It's all because of her mated-wolf that Zack died!" She stared at Taya, tears streaming down her face, and struggled to control. her urge to hit someone. She knew she was wrong, but recently she didn't know what was wrong with her, always losing her temper and hitting people. No one owed her anything in this world, and she shouldn't have to endure her own abnormal behavior, but what could she do? Zack was dead, she was sick, what was she supposed to do? Gigi couldn't figure it out, and couldn't control herself. She picked up the soup bowl from the table and was about to continue splashing it on Taya. Luckily, Preston was there. Unlike Johnny's mercy, he was much more ruthless, grabbing Gigi by the neck. With a cold face, he firmly restrained Gigi and then turned to look at Taya, who was covering her eyes and couldn't open them. "Harper, go call the doctor!" Harper snapped out of her daze and quickly pressed the call button for the doctor. Meanwhile, Preston was trying to drag Gigi out, but she suddenly calmed down, tears streaming down her face. Seeing her like this, Preston furrowed his brow, then let go of her and stood by, keeping a close eye on her. Ignoring his own injury, Johnny walked up to Taya, feeling a bit helpless, and asked if she was in pain. Taya was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, so Johnny stopped asking and just looked at her with concern. The doctor quickly came in, cleaned the soup from Taya's eyes, and she finally opened her eyes, which were in unbearable pain. Her vision was a bit blurry, but she could still see clearly. However, her face was red and swollen from the hot soup. The doctor said the temperature of the chicken soup was so high that it had burned off a layer of her skin, and told them not to fight in the hospital room. After treating the burn, the doctor left some ointment and instructed Harper to apply it to Taya, then quickly left the room. After the doctor left, Gigi curled up in a corner, staring blankly at Taya's red face. "It's because of your mated-wolf that Zack died, so it's not wrong for me to hit you..." Through her hazy and scattered eyes, Taya looked at the lonely Gigi."Gigi, I'm sorry. I don't think Griffon did it on purpose either. He probably didn't expect Zack to do that." She believed in Griffon' character. If he could, he would rather it be him in the snake pit than sacrificing Zack. But Gigi didn't understand, and she didn't see it clearly. In her view, it was Griffon who made Zack sacrifice himself. "He is Zack's boss. Whatever he tells Zack to do, Zack has to do il..." "It's not like that. In that situation, he really didn't have time..." "He didn't have time to find another scapegoat?" Taya choked up, and Johnny, who was next to her, wanted to explain, but he was interrupted by Gigi's mocking laughter.Gigi, I don't look down on Zack, and neither does Griffon. He considered Zack as a brother, he..." "If he considered Zack as a brother, would he send him to die?" "Griffon went to Erebus, and the first person he kept it from was Zack. He didn't want to involve him, so why would he intentionally send him to die?" Facing Taya's explanation, Gigi couldn't listen, and her emotions, which had just calmed down, flared up again. "Shut up. I don't want to hear your excuses anymore, you're all in this together!" "Gigi..." Before Taya could finish her sentence, Gigi, in a fit of madness, got up and rushed over. This time, before Preston could intervene or Johnny could stop her, a mature and steady figure rushed in. After the figure came in, he quickly raised his hand and slapped Gigi hard across the face. With Samuel's slap, Gigi immediately lost her balance and fell to the ground. She felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, and something was Dearing blankly at. After Samuel hit her, he didn't notice that she was bleeding. Instead, he looked down at her with anger. "You secretly dated that bodyguard named Zack and got pregnant with his pup. Yet, you're still acting crazy for a dead man!" "He's not dead!"Gigi, with a burst of strength, pushed Johnny, who was trying to help her up, and clenched her fists, shouting at Samuel. "Zack isn't dead, he's alive and well. I won't allow you to curse him like that!" During this time, Gigi's illness had been recurring, and Samuel had been by her side day and night, taking care of her, but the result... "You're beyond help!" Samuel, feeling extremely exhausted, reached out to grab Gigi's arm to pull her back, but in her struggle, Gigi accidentally slapped him. It was the first time that Samuel, who had been in a high position, had been hit by his own pup. His face suddenly darkened, but he didn't raise his hand again, just looked at her with a pained expression. "Do you know that because of your crazy behavior over a man, many packs are mocking you behind your back? How will you ever get mated?" Ilearing this, Gigi suddenly regained her composure and stopped struggling. "Dad, in your eyes, is my value only in a business trade?" Samuel's heart sank. "You are my daughter, you should mate the best wolf, not a bodyguard. Now that he's dead, it's for the best.. Even if he were alive, I would never let you be with him." This was the end for Gigi and Zack. They couldn't be together in life or in death. Gigi hugged herself tightly, sitting on the ground and laughing bitterly. "You are truly great...' Mocked by her own daughter, Samuel felt very uncomfortable. He grabbed Gigi's shoulder and lifted her up from the ground. "If you embarrass yourself outside again, I'll lock you up!"As Gigi was being lifted up, Johnny noticed the blood on the ground and his face suddenly turned pale. "Gigi, didn't you feel the bleeding? Why didn't you say anything?" Gigi followed Johnny's gaze and looked at her lower body. When she touched the blood, she finally reacted slowly. "Brother, I'm in too much pain, I didn't feel it." She grabbed Johnny's arm, tears streaming down her face. "This is Zack's only pup. Don't let this pup die. Help me, brother,please help me..."
