Chapter 4

Amelia POV

Staring at the screen, I suddenly laughed, tears streaming down my face.

His so-called "work"was to get revenge for Vivian, repeatedly pushing me into icy water, almost drowning me, and then spending the entire night by Vivian's side?

Clutching my phone, I called an Uber and headed to the hospital.

All the way there, the cramping in my abdomen grew more intense. I could feel blood constantly seeping out.

I bit my lip, making no sound.

I dragged myself into the clinic, heading towards the emergency room.

No healer came for a long time.

"When will the healer be here?"I grabbed a passing nurse.

The nurse looked troubled. "I'm sorry, our clinic's two best healers were just urgently called away... I heard it was Alpha Alexander, for a pregnant friend of his..."

My ears buzzed. Ironclaw Pack's Alpha, Alexander, had done all this for Vivian.

"Or... perhaps you could contact your own pack's healer?" The nurse assistant suggested.

I hesitated for a moment, then picked up my phone and dialed Michael.

"Michael,"I said, "can you find me a healer?"

On the other end, Michael's voice was cold. "Now you remember to call me?"

He continued, "Amelia, I want you to understand. From the day you insisted on marrying Alexander, you ceased to be my sister."

The nurse took the phone, speaking urgently. "Sir! This lady's condition is critical, she needs immediate treatment! Otherwise, her life is in danger! Are you her family? Can you...?"

But Michael, after hearing it, remained utterly unmoved. "She brought this all upon herself."

The call ended with a dial tone, and my last hope died completely.

At the time, to repay Frostbane Pack for adopting me, I disregarded Michael's objections and entered into an alliance with Ironclaw Pack, consolidating our pack's interests.

On the day we officially became mates, Michael, on his way back from abroad, had an accident and was saved by Vivian.

To repay Vivian, he gave her high status and wealth.

But after that accident, he completely ignored me, even hated me.

He believed that if I hadn't insisted on the alliance, he wouldn't have had the accident, so even if I died outside, it was my own fault.

I don't know how long passed. My consciousness was already blurry. The bright, blinding light of the surgical lamp finally appeared, then I fell into a deep sleep.

Vaguely, I heard the healer say, "Excessive blood loss, the original uterine injury has ruptured again, a complete hysterectomy is necessary..."

The surgery was done by midnight. After the anesthetic wore off, a hollow, dull ache radiated from my abdomen.

That night, Eleanor sent me a new text message.

"I've secured temporary residency for you in a pack in Switzerland. You can go there to rest for a while after you leave."

During my recovery after surgery, I became unusually quiet.

My body was healing, but something inside me was permanently empty.

My friend Julia Davis came to see me. After waiting for a long time and not seeing Alexander, she pulled out her phone. "Amelia, where's that busy husband of yours?"

I quickly grabbed Julia's hand before she could dial. "He's busy with work. This isn't a big deal for me."

"Not a big deal?"Julia looked exasperated. "Amelia, you can never have children again. How is that not a big deal? And he still has time for work?"

"Julia, I'm leaving."

Under Julia's surprised gaze, I calmly continued, "Soon, I won't be Ironclaw Pack's Luna, and perhaps not even Frostbane Pack's Alpha's sister."

"Is he going to reject you?!"Julia seemed never to have considered such a possibility, as to outsiders, Alexander appeared to be very much in love with me.

Seeing I didn't want to elaborate, she didn't press further and left to buy me lunch.

When she returned, her breathing was ragged, clearly very angry.

"Amelia, do you know what I overheard in the hallway?"She slammed the lunchbox down. "The nurses outside said Alpha Alexander has been with Vivian in the next room all week! He even booked the entire floor for her!"

I smiled, my eyes glinting slightly, silently acknowledging it.

Julia hugged me protectively, indignant on my behalf. "Amelia, if you're not up to it, I'll go deal with that Vivian for you! She's taking advantage!"

I patted her shoulder, comforting her. "It's fine. I no longer love Alexander."

As soon as the words left my lips, the hospital room door was pushed open, and a deep male voice came from behind us.

"What do you mean 'no longer love'?"
