  Patrick ignored Derrick and said to Kevin, "Kevin, see him out."

  Derrick was pale. He looked down at the ground and walked out under Kevin's gaze.

  Just as Derrick was about to vanish from Patrick's sight, the latter, who was on the stairs behind him, said, "Derrick, there's something you don't understand. It's because she's my mate, not yours, that you and I choose differently."

  After saying that, Patrick no longer bothered to talk to Derrick. He turned around and walked up the stairs.

  Derrick's body shook. He was still in a trance until he got into the driver's seat. He thought back to Patrick's words. Patrick said that they were different, which was the reason why they chose differently.

  Derrick closed his eyes, and suddenly, a line of tears ran from the corners of his eyes.

  He thought, 'Gloria, is that so? So, the whole story is about Patrick and Gloria. I am never part of it. Right?'

  He opened his eyes, looked at the wine in his

  • Rejected, But Trapped By The Alpha King   Chapter 544

    Outside the door, Cline was still on IV fluids. His knuckles were white.He watched the light move through the glass. His chest felt crushed.He wished the acid had hit him.He wished he'd stepped in front of her sooner.The words "repay a favor" stabbed him like needles. She used the cruelest way to pay him back. He never even got to say, "Don't do that."He couldn't blink. He was terrified she'd disappear if he closed his eyes.He watched her back and shoulders twitch in pain. He had one insane thought: If he could, he would take the pain himself.Time stretched out. Eva's eyes were glued to the monitor. The heart rate finally stabilized. She let out a long breath.She walked to the hallway. She faced Cline and Clarissa, who was squatting, her eyes empty. "Miss Hammond is out of danger."That sentence cut the last thread. Clarissa sat down hard. She began to cry, muffled and deep.Eva hugged her. Her palm presse

    They quickly secured her airway and connected the ventilator. They continued the extensive rinsing. They treated the chemical burns according to protocol.Through it all, Cline held Luana's hand. His eyes were bloodshot. He stared fiercely at her pale face. "Luana, you have to fight. Albion is waiting to marry you. Don't disappoint him. PLEASE."He pressed close to her ear. He said it over and over. She still didn't react. It was like all her life had been sucked out.His grip tightened. It felt like the last rope he could cling to.The ambulance stopped at the Emergency entrance.Eva followed them in. She quickly coordinated with the hospital team. They rushed Luana into the trauma room.Cline tried to follow. Eva blocked him. "You will only interfere with the resuscitation."She pushed him out. The door to the trauma room shut immediately.The moment the door locked, the strength holding Cline up vanished.He slid down

    Eva rushed over. She dropped right onto her knees.She saw the acid burns on Luana's back. Her face went pale instantly.She looked around. This was a wide-open city park. There was no first aid kit. No emergency rinse station. Only the pouring rain.Albion, sitting in his wheelchair, finally reacted. His voice shook as he spoke to Eva. "The Children's Center has clean water."Eva forced herself to be calm. She looked sharply at Cline. "HURRY! Carry Miss Hammond to the Children's Center!"Cline finally tossed the knife aside. He carefully picked up Luana. He ran frantically toward the Center.Eva ran behind him.She passed Clarissa, who was running the other way. Eva yelled urgently, "Clarissa! Call 911 NOW! We need an ambulance!"Clarissa stopped. She fumbled with her phone, shaking. She dialed and followed them forward while talking.As people panicked, the park maintenance worker started laughing nervously again.

    A sharp burn made Luana scream. She fell hard. Her knees hit the ground. She braced her hands in the rain.The rain suddenly got heavier. It seemed to fight her. It beat on her back. The pain made her whole body shake.Cline spun around. He saw Luana kneeling there. The acid had stained the skin on her back black.Her small body was hunched over in agony.She knelt still. She was too hurt to move. Her face and her lips were completely white.Yet, her eyelids fluttered. She looked up. She forced a small smile at him. "I'm disfigured, right?"She had always been obsessed with beauty. The last medicine she took was just to prevent swelling. She was afraid of dying ugly.But now, her back would never be flawless.Seeing her state, Cline's heart stopped. His handsome face went sheet white.He threw his umbrella down. He dropped to his knees in front of her. His hands shook. He wanted to hold her, but he didn't know where to touch.The wedding dress on her back was already dissolved to dust

    Cline sneered coldly, "Only after regaining your position at Coburn Group could you protect her. What qualifies you to talk about favors with me now?"Albion's heart skipped a beat, as if Cline had struck a sore spot, making him feel powerless before him.He gripped the contract and, after a deep breath, forced a bitter smile, "You're right, I'm not capable of protecting her."In the past, he lacked the ability to provide her with a better life and had even subjected her to harm due to family matters.Now, confined to a wheelchair and permanently disabled, what could he possibly offer to protect her?In contrast, the man before him radiated strength and power.As the head of the Moriarty Group and the Ortega family, Luana would never suffer or be hurt under his care.Albion seemed to resign himself to this reality, a faint smile curving his lips. He set down the contract and retrieved an exquisite box from his pocket.Slowly op

    A grand wedding was underway in the small garden. The master of ceremonies delivered a cheerful opening speech from the stage.The guests were few, but their presence didn't dampen the ceremony's spirit.The groom, Albion, dressed in a white suit and seated in a wheelchair, gazed at the girl in the white wedding dress at the end of the red carpet.This was the dream of his youth and the promise he had made to her—to marry her.If he hadn't lost five years to amnesia, she would have been his wife by now.Despite the twists and turns, he had married her, yet it all felt unreal, like a dream from which he hadn't yet awakened.From afar, he watched her, unable to discern her expression or emotions. The more he looked, the more distant and illusory she seemed.Only when the master of ceremonies prompted him to meet the bride did he slowly return to the moment.Stanley wheeled him to Luana, and only then did he see her expressi
