Chapter 48: Fall from Building
Chapter 48: Fall from Building
(Olivia’s POV)
Caleb had just been exchanging pleasantries with pack members he knew in the hallway. This caused him to lag behind and enter the office a step after me.
He looked around in confusion, clearly having missed what just happened.
“You’re so inconsiderate,” Caleb criticized Evelyn harshly. “Knowing that Luna is not in good health.”
His voice carried mock concern. “Fortunately, I broke up with you and got together with Clara!”
Caleb deliberately emphasized his relationship with Clara, clearly trying to convince me of its authenticity.
I found this both pathetic and ridiculous. How quickly he switched sides when it benefited him.
Evelyn’s face was slapped to one side. Her disheveled hair covered her expression completely.
But I could see her hands clenched tightly into fists. I knew she must hate me to death right now.
Evelyn covered her pained face with trembling fingers. Tears slid down her cheeks as she looked at me pitifully.
“Livvy, why did you hit me?” she asked in a broken voice.
Eleonora and Theodore almost held their breath. They maintained their composure as they watched me carefully.
Obviously, they were observing my reaction. Testing me even now.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen. The agony shot through me like lightning.
I staggered backward, leaning against the wall to steady myself. My vision blurred from the intensity.
My gaze swept across these familiar yet strange faces. I couldn’t believe that even at this point, they still refused to admit
their mistakes.
They were still testing me. Still playing their games.
Suddenly, a terrible thought I had never had before exploded in my mind. Evelyn introducing Clara to Eleonora, and her previous support for my departure–could it be to break up Theodore and me?
Could it be that Evelyn liked Theodore? But she had always called him brother before.
She had even encouraged me to accept his pursuit. What kind of person was she really?
From beginning to end, had she ever truly considered me a friend?
I thought of how I had mistakenly given half my heart to Evelyn. I had seen her as my closest friend.
The other half I had given to Theodore. I had believed him to be my most faithful companion.
I could no longer face them. The pain in my lower abdomen made me unwilling to continue this charade.
I staggered out of the Alpha’s office. Everything before me spun like collapsing buildings. Suddenly, my waist was encircled from behind. No matter how I struggled, I couldn’t break free.
My body was turned around to face Theodore’s eyes. They were filled with what looked like genuine concern. “Theodore, do you remember?” I asked him weakly. “I once said that if you deceived me, I would never forgive you.”
I cupped his face with shaking hands. “Now tell me, have you ever deceived me?“I didn’t even know what I was still hoping
for.
“My love, how could I lie to you,” Theodore’s gentle voice pierced my ears like a silver blade.
I covered my out–of–control heart and collapsed into Theodore’s arms. I curled up in pain.
Tears unconsciously rolled from my eyes. I found myself murmuring, “It hurts… I hurt so much…”
“My love, I’ll take you to the infirmary immediately,” Theodore said anxiously. “You must hold on.”
Hearing Theodore’s anxious voice, I tightly grasped my chest. I forced myself to stay conscious and remember the pain of
this moment.
Eleonora, Caleb, and Evelyn followed behind us one after another.
I was taken to the Crimson Infirmary. Although I wanted to keep it hidden, in front of so many healers, my pregnancy could no longer be concealed.
Eleonora was almost overcome with joy. “Wonderful! The Redgrave family is going to have a new addition!”
She excitedly left the ward. I heard her telling Martha to prepare nutritious moongrass soup.
Caleb and Evelyn came to congratulate us one after another. Caleb was the first to leave the medical center.
It wasn’t appropriate for him to stay in the room too long with a pregnant Luna.
I lay motionless, listening to their voices and gazing out the window. It felt as if all of this had nothing to do with me.
Evelyn grasped my hand tightly. “Livvy, are you blaming me for complaining to Lady Eleonora?”
I just looked at her quietly. I had no energy left for words.
Evelyn continued to explain frantically. She claimed she didn’t know Eleonora would misunderstand her words.
“You’re my most precious friend,” she insisted. “I only wanted to restore cooperation with Crimson Pack because my family’s situation in the Croft Consortium is precarious.”
She begged for my forgiveness and help. Her voice grew more desperate with each word.
I withdrew my hand from Evelyn’s grasp. I directly closed my eyes, shutting her out.
I felt Evelyn’s gentle gaze instantly turn fierce. She angrily left the medical room without another word.
After Evelyn left, Theodore also hurriedly departed after receiving a phone call. His expression had been tense as he answered.
Suddenly the hospital room door was pushed open. Clara’s voice rang out at the doorway.
“Sister, I didn’t expect you to be pregnant too.”
Clara smugly swayed her hips as she walked closer. Her smile was predatory and cruel.
I looked at her calmly. “Your information is quite well–informed.”
Clara asked me to guess who told her. Her eyes gleamed with malicious satisfaction.
I thought for a moment and realized the truth. It was Evelyn who had betrayed me.
I sneered coldly. “Whoever it was, they’re a bitch.”
“You’re wasting your efforts,” Clara said with vicious glee. “Even if you’re pregnant, Theodore’s heart no longer belongs to
you.”

She leaned closer, her voice dropping to a whisper. “He won’t care about the child in your womb.”
“Moreover, I just asked your healer,” she continued triumphantly. “You’re carrying a daughter, while I’m carrying twin sons.” Clara revealed more of her schemes. “You stopped the investment to my parents through Delta Jasper.”
“When I told Theodore about this, he directly gave me access to unlimited pack resources.”
Hearing that I was carrying a daughter, I felt an acidic liquid flow through my heart. Was this the daughter I had lost four years ago coming back to find me?
Seeing my calm gaze, Clara became even more agitated. She needed a reaction from me.
“Theodore left abruptly because I called him,” she revealed cruelly. “I claimed to have a stomachache, and he immediately rushed to my side.”
Her words cut deep, designed to wound. “Your father didn’t want you, your mother abandoned you, your partner doesn’t love you.”
“And your pups will also leave you one by one.”
I didn’t want to listen to Clara’s rambling anymore. “Are you sure Theodore loves you?”
I retorted with cold precision. “How come I remember that whenever someone tries to provoke me, it’s never me who ends up getting taught a lesson?”
Clara seemed to recall past disputes. Her face flushed with fury as the memories surfaced.
“Although I was always the one being abandoned before, this time is different,” she roared. “I have two pups!”
Just then her phone suddenly rang. The sound cut through her rage.
It was Theodore calling. She answered the phone with shaking hands.
Theodore’s gentle and husky voice came through clearly. “Baby, I’m at the infirmary, but I don’t see you.”
Clara looked at my face with malicious intent. She spoke coquettishly to Theodore.
“I heard that Sister Olivia was also hospitalized, so I wanted to come see her.”
Then she suddenly started performing. “Ah! Sister Olivia, why are you pulling my hair…”
She quickly hung up the phone and threw it on the ground. The device clattered across the floor.
Clara grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the window. Her grip was iron–strong and desperate.
My body was extremely weak. I felt I had no strength to resist Clara’s dragging.
She pulled me to the windowsill with violent force. Her eyes blazed with murderous intent.
“Go die!” Clara’s expression was fierce and menacing. “I’m going to throw you down now and let you see who Theodore
chooses this time!”
(God’s POV)
When Theodore heard Clara’s scream over the phone, he immediately rushed back to the building where the VIP ward was located at breakneck speed.
As he ran quickly toward the entrance, a woman fell heavily one meter in front of him. The impact was devastating. Accompanied by a loud crash, bright red blood flowed from beneath her body. The sight was horrifying.
Theodore’s heart filled with terror. Fear instantly overwhelmed him as he rushed over to hold her.
