作者: AlphaGo
The next day, Ethan didn't go back to the hot spring lodge.

He went to Northshore Healing Institute.

Because Nora had left written authorization, the person handling her affairs could access the medical records related to her death.

Martha sat with him in that office.

The chief physician pushed the files across.

First visit: Nora could still shift on her own.

Second visit: She could no longer walk for long stretches.

Third visit: She asked whether pain-suppressing medication would make her seem

  • No Seat for Me at the Winter Feast   Chapter 9

    On the day of the sea burial, the sea was calm.The Frostridge car parked outside the harbor and didn't drive in.Richard didn't ask the patrol guards to clear the road, and he didn't use his Alpha status to talk to the boat captain.The first wish Nora had clearly left behind, they finally didn't dare override.It was just too late.When the small boat left the shore, Helen stood at the end of the breakwater.She held a newly made name plaque.The wood was fine, the carving exquisite, exactly like the ones on the main house fireplace.She had spent the whole night braiding the hanging cord herself.Martha saw it but didn't take it onto the boat for her."She took her own things with her."Helen gripped the plaque and nodded.On the boat were only Martha, the shelter director, and the driver who had taken Nora to the coast.The driver brought a white flower.He said that before Nora got out of the car, she had asked whether the extra detour would cost more.He had been too busy helping

    The manuscripts Grandma left were never handed over at the charity banquet.Three days after the solstice, the shelter director came to Frostridge in person.Richard wanted to arrange a new ceremony.He said the donation could be expanded, and the name could be changed to commemorate Nora.The director didn't take the prepared speech."Give me the originals first."The safe was opened.Beneath the manuscripts was a catalog Nora had organized.The year, contents, and paper damage of each volume were recorded clearly.At the bottom was a stack of restoration quotes.She had already contacted a restorer and paid the first deposit.It was just that on the night of the scheduled handover, no one had invited her to attend.Richard stood to the side.After the director finished reading the materials, he looked up and asked:"Why was Lily the one on stage for this donation?"No one answered.The next day, Richard sent correction letters to every pack that had attended that night.The donation

    The next day, Ethan didn't go back to the hot spring lodge.He went to Northshore Healing Institute.Because Nora had left written authorization, the person handling her affairs could access the medical records related to her death.Martha sat with him in that office.The chief physician pushed the files across.First visit: Nora could still shift on her own.Second visit: She could no longer walk for long stretches.Third visit: She asked whether pain-suppressing medication would make her seem slow."Why did she ask that?" Ethan said.The physician turned to the consultation notes."She said if her reactions were too slow, her family would think she was ignoring them on purpose."Ethan lowered his head.That day, he had indeed scolded her.Lily called twice, and Nora didn't hear.He told her that even if she didn't like someone, she should still have basic manners.The file continued.Hospice care recommendations.Emergency contact authorization.And a returned appointment invitation.

    When Helen came in, she was still unbuttoning her coat."Where's the child? Get the fire going first. She's always been afraid of the cold—"She saw Nora on the bed and stopped.This daughter had never been this quiet.When she first came home, Nora always had so much to say.Which patrol route she'd learned today. What new thing the kitchen had made that she'd never eaten before. What story Grandma had told when she was lucid that afternoon.Helen usually cut her off halfway.Keep your voice down. Lily is resting.Now, there was no need to remind anyone.She walked to the bed and touched Nora's face.Then pulled her hand back."Why is she so cold?"No one answered.She looked at Ethan."Aren't you a healer? Why are you kneeling there?"Ethan didn't look up.Helen grabbed his shoulder."Heal her!"Martha picked up the diagnosis from the bedside and set it on the table."She ran out of treatments a long time ago.""This is today's comfort care record. This is the medication list she bro

    Ethan stared at the message, his finger frozen on the screen.Applause had just broken out in the banquet hall.Lily reached over and tugged at his sleeve."Ethan? Did Nora say something again?"He didn't answer. He dialed Northshore Healing Institute directly.When the call connected, his first sentence was still:"Is this a mistake? Nora came home today. She can walk. She can argue with people."On the other end, the chief physician was silent for a moment."Who told you a dying patient can't walk?"Ethan's hand slowly tightened."But she never told me about the silver blight.""When she came in for her first consultation, she listed you as her companion. The appointment was canceled twice."Ethan suddenly remembered.Three months ago, Nora had asked him if he could go with her to Northshore.That day was the first time Lily had shown discomfort with her pregnancy.He told Nora to go by herself, said she was twenty now and didn't need someone with her for everything.The second time,

  • No Seat for Me at the Winter Feast   Chapter 4

    When the main house door closed behind me, the blizzard had already sealed off the courtyard.My father ordered the patrol guards not to arrange a car for me.They opened the side door and watched me walk out alone.Brooks stood at the second-floor window.Through the glass, his gaze stayed on me.Maybe he was waiting for me to turn back.To be unable to walk, to cry, to finally admit I was wrong.My mother pushed open a crack in the window."Nora, don't stand outside putting on a show! You don't need to come to tonight's winter solstice charity banquet either. Don't let the other packs laugh at our family!"The window shut.In the warm yellow light, Ethan carried a hot drink toward Lily.My father pulled the blanket up around her shoulders.I turned and walked slowly into the snow.My nose was bleeding again.It dripped onto the snow, drop by drop, quickly covered by fresh snow.My wolf didn't come out.In the past, no matter how cold the weather, she would urge me to shift.She said,
