The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover

Chapter 1794

Taya nodded lightly and, after a long silence, told Harper about what had happened with Erebus.

Harper listened and was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand and gently touched Taya’s thin and weak face. “You’ve suffered,” she said.

She only said this one sentence, without trying to persuade Taya or speak on behalf of Griffon, but it was enough to express everything.

Taya wanted to shake her head and say that she hadn’t, but the pain in her heart surged out in response to Harper’s comforting words.

“Harper.”

“I’m here,” Taya reached out and grabbed Harper’s hand, which was resting on her face, and held it tightly against her chest.

“I’m actually quite sad.”

Harper knew that she was very sad. Risking everything to find her mated–wolf, only to be suddenly unmated upon meeting him, who could bear such a thing?

Harper felt very sorry for Taya and couldn’t help but reach out her other hand to cover Taya’s hand, which had become thin and bony over the past two months.

“If you want to talk about it, tell me all your grievances,” Harper said.

Taya slowly lowered her eyelids. “There’s nothing to be sad about. I’m used to it.” She was used to Griffon’s emotional abuse, used to being pushed away by him, and only felt sad afterwards.

Harper couldn’t help but pat Taya’s hand repeatedly, hoping that this would comfort her. Taya probably didn’t want Harper to be upset with her, so she didn’t continue speaking and just said to her, “Harper, when I’m discharged from the hospital, I won’t return to Blue Bay Island. When that time comes, help me bring Grace to my villa.”

After a moment’s pause, Harper agreed. “Okay.”

After agreeing, Harper couldn’t help but call out to her again.

“Taya.”

Taya looked up and looked at Harper, who seemed hesitant to speak. “Harper, just say what you want to say.”

Harper then grabbed her hand and gently patted her hand. “I support whatever decision you make, but as your sister, I still have to remind you.”

Her gaze moved from Taya’s face to her abdomen. “You still have a pup. After the pup is born, you can’t just let the pup grow up without a father, can you?”

Both of them were orphans, and they knew how difficult it was to grow up without parents.

Although Taya’s pup would have a mother, a childhood without a father would still be incomplete.

As they both lived their lives feeling inferior due to the absence of their parents‘ love and care.

After staring at Harper for a while, Taya raised her hand and touched her abdomen. “He never considered whether the pup needed a father. Why should I have to think about it so much?”

Although this sentence stopped Harper from saying anything further, she could still hear from Taya’s tone that she was actually just being stubborn with Griffon.

Harper couldn’t help but feel that such a loving couple wouldn’t easily separate.

With this thought in mind, she gradually felt more at ease. “Taya, is there anything you’d like to eat?”

Before Taya could respond, there was a knock at the door.

“Can we come in now?”

Harper looked back in the direction of the door and gestured with her eyes to ask Taya if it was okay.

“You can,” Taya replied, then propped herself up on the bed. As soon as she sat up, Preston, Andre, and Peter walked in. “Taya, are you okay?”

“I’m fine, don’t worry.”

“You look very weak, so be sure to rest more.”

“Okay.” Taya nodded and then jokingly teased Preston.

“A soon–to–be father is different; you’re already showing concern for others.”

Preston, seeing that she was still in the mood to joke, let go of his worries. “People always grow up,” he said, pulling up a chair and sitting down next to Harper.

He then habitually took her hand and began to rub it in his palm.

Harper felt a bit embarrassed to be so intimate in front of so many people and wanted to pull her hand away, but he held it tightly.

“What are you afraid of? Taya isn’t a stranger.”

“That’s right, we’re not strangers.”

Andre and Peter, who were standing nearby, added. After learning that Griffon was still alive, the two months of gloom they had experienced gradually dissipated.

Peter, who had almost turned Arcadia upside down after Taya disappeared.

And because of this, Andre openly and fiercely beat him up.

But they had to come together to investigate the exact location of Erebus, so the two of them often ended up fighting.

Now, both of them had scars on their faces.
