My pup was so hungry that they wailed loudly. In order to keep my pup alive, I took down the paintings on the wall and pricked my hands until they were covered in blood. I also broke my nails prying open the basement’s skylight.
I used all my strength to crawl out onto the grassy ground outside the skylight while enduring excruciating pain. I dug my fingers firmly into the ground as I crawled upward with my pup in my arms, inch by inch.
However, Toby just happened to be sharing a deep kiss with Cecilia in the garden.
Judging from how passionately they were kissing each other, they were about to progress even further.
Cecilia then suddenly pushed Toby away, glanced down at the skylight, and screamed involuntarily.
As a result, Toby looked up and was furious at the sight of me trying to escape.
In fact, he firmly believed that I had shown up in front of Cecilia again on purpose.
He personally stepped on my fingers and, powerless due to excessive blood loss, I fell back into the basement.
In the end, I stopped breathing with my eyes wide open and a cold pup in my arms.
Toby held the glass of warm milk to Cecilia’s lips. “I’ve already instructed someone to bring Joyce over to apologize to you. If she’s sincere about it, I’ll get someone to send her and her pup to the hospital. But if she isn’t, she can continue to live in the basement with her pup!”
Cecilia drank the milk in small sips, but she still choked on it until tears came to her eyes. The sight made her look incredibly pitiful.
“You can’t treat Luna Joyce like this, Alpha. It’s very dangerous for pups to get sick!” she exclaimed.
Toby sighed and looked at her with great affection. “It’s because you’re too kind that you’re bullied by she-wolves like Joyce, Cissy! Before she became Luna, she was a very powerful Beta who could live for many days without food or water!”
He gently scratched the tip of her nose. “In fact, it’s an Omega like you who needs more tender loving care. And you mentioned that it’s dangerous for pups to get sick; it’s as if you’ve carried a pup before!”
Panic flashed in Cecilia’s eyes, and she immediately lowered her head.
“Only you can see past my tough exterior to the fragile heart underneath, Alpha,” she said with a hint of grievance in her voice.
When she looked up again, her eyes were misty, and her lower lip was glistening from her biting it.
She wrapped her arms around Toby’s neck and rubbed her breasts against his chest in a way that made it hard to tell if it was intentional.
