Chapter 326
Jackson’s words made Griffon clench his fists so tightly that his claw dug into his palms.
It was as if an electric current had struck him, causing his entire body to ache.
But even if it hurt so much, he didn’t believe Taya was dead.
How could she die before he could say goodbye to her? After everything, wouldn’t she have wanted to
see him one last time?
He shook his head, then narrowed his eyes at Harper. “No, if she died, you wouldn’t have cremated her
so quickly…”
Harper looked at him indifferently and suddenly felt sorry for him. How could he be this far in denial?
After a moment, Harper said flatly, “Taya asked to be cremated after she tried and tried to call you and
you had Tara answer the phone instead.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGriffon froze.
Seeing his pale face, Harper thought he was ridiculous. “I’m still not sure why you’re so upset about
this. She was your mistress, your substitute lover for the woman you always wanted to mate. This is
disrespectful to your future Luna.”
Griffon blinked. “I’ve never regarded Taya as a substitute…”
Harper snorted. “Okay. She wasn’t a substitute…she just happened to have a similar name and look
just like Tara. Sure.”
Darkness enveloped Griffon, and he fell into silence. He hadn’t thought of it that way, and suddenly, his
view of everything shifted and he saw things from Taya’s perspective.
After a long time, he opened his mouth and did not make a sound. When he opened his mouth again,
he said, “When… when did her heart fail?”
“You’ve been sleeping with her for five years but didn’t even know. How would I know?”
Harper thought momentarily, then added, “I know she’s had it since before she signed the contract with
you.”
Anything she could do to twist the knife in a bit deeper, she was going to take the opportunity to do so.
Griffon’s body stiffened.
How had he not noticed something so monumental?
No, he had discovered it once…
He remembered that night when he couldn’t bear to leave and fell asleep with her in his arms; he heard
her call out Silas’s name in her sleep.
He’d been so angry that he pushed her away. Perhaps it was because he pushed her too hard that she
choked and woke up, and then her breathing became rapid.
She reached out to him with difficulty and asked him to take her to the hospital…
But he was angry and didn’t know she had heart issues, so he didn’t. He even deliberately humiliated
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher with money to vent his anger.
Harper continued. “Stella said that if she hadn’t been beaten, she should have been able to live for
another two months with
the help of medicine, but you killed her. In that two months, we might have been able to find a heart for
her.”
He slowly lowered his head and looked at his right hand…
This hand slapped her and caused her to fall and hit her head.
It was he who had killed her…
His heart ached when he thought of how helpless and desperate she was under her peaceful and
beautiful smile. She cared for and hid her weak heart, accompanied him for five years without
complaint or regret, but what had he done?
