The lights of the ambulance flashed in the night. Simon clutched Clara’s hand tightly, his knuckles white from the force.
Clara curled up on the stretcher, her pale face etched with panic.
Mr. and Mrs. Davis were also anxiously beside her, constantly checking on her, afraid she would feel any discomfort.
“Why isn’t it here yet? How much farther is the hospital?”
Simon watched the red lights ahead, his heart growing increasingly anxious.
Clara suddenly coughed a few times.
Simon immediately comforted her: “Don’t be afraid, we’ll be there soon.”
He leaned down and half-embraced her, gently patting her back.
Clara, her eyes red-rimmed, looked at the three people beside her and said softly, “Simon, Mom, Dad… I thought I would never see you again… I was so scared…”
Mrs. Davis was heartbroken and stroked Clara’s trembling back.”Maybe… Simon and Emily should sever the mate bond. You two should be together, we all support it.”
“And Emily should have realized this by now. She shouldn’t hold onto the Luna’s position.”
Mrs. Davis sighed.
Before she finished speaking, Clara shook her head violently.”No…. Emily will be sad… Although I like Simon, I don’t want to make
sad.”

Simon’s throat tightened. Seeing Clara’s weak state but still thinking of others, a dull ache spread through his chest.
“Uncle and Aunt, I’ll talk to Emily tomorrow,” he held Clara’s hand tighter.”Clara shouldn’t suffer.”
Mr. Davis sighed, but didn’t object. After all, his adopted daughter had just escaped death, and this small regret should be compensated for.
Thirty minutes later, the ambulance had just stopped in front of the emergency building when Simon, unable to wait any longer, rushed Clara
inside.
Only after he sent her to the emergency room for examination did he collapse onto a bench.
He thought for a moment and unlocked his phone.
Emily’s name was on the lock screen.
Simon tapped the call button.
“Hello? his voice was hoarse.
Simon looked at the closed operating room door, his nails digging deep into his palm.”Let’s sever the mate bond.”
Silence fell on the other end of the line, followed by a soft laugh after a long time.”Shouldn’t you have wanted to sever the mate bond a long time ago? Even if it’s for Clara. Is this what she wants?”
‘Enough! Simon crushed the paper cup in his hand.
“Clara has been thinking about you, can’t you treat her like a sister?”
“And Clara is like this, what are you still doubting?”
The emergency room door opened, and Simon stood up abruptly, his phone dropping to the ground with a “Pang”.
Clara was lying on the bed, her face still pale.
Seeing him, she managed a weak smile.”Have you talked to my sister? Was I too selfish…”
“Don’t think about that.”
Simon gently pressed her hand.”After you’re discharged, I’ll claim you, okay?”
At that moment, his phone vibrated. It was a message from Emily, just a short line: “I agree to sever the mate bond.”
Simon looked at the short message on the screen, a strange emptiness spreading through him.

His wolf questioned, “Why did she agree so quickly? Doesn’t she always like me?”
He couldn’t understand her reaction right now.
It shouldn’t be this reaction.
After all, everyone knew Emily liked him immensely.
“Could it be that she doesn’t like us anymore?” His wolf thought of a possibility.
Hearing his wolf’s words, Simon’s face darkened.
He took out his phone and sent a question mark.
A second later, the phone dinged.
It wasn’t her reply.
It was a notification that the message had been rejected.
She always replied instantly. Was she injured?
Or still angry?
Simon inexplicably felt something was wrong, but he didn’t know what.
His restless heart grew increasingly impatient. He could only force himself not to think too much.
The most important thing now was to take care of Clara.
