When a person is truly and utterly disappointed in another, they can reach a state of complete indifference.

The next day, Heath went to the Pearwater Shelter to pick up Pledge.

Adelaide was at the shelter, and Heath asked to speak to her privately. “Please don’t worry, my mother will absolutely treat Pledge well and will not harm her. I have half–siblings from other breeders, and my mother has always been kind to them.”

Adelaide was direct. “I don’t know your mother well, but I can see her character, so I’m not worried she’ll mistreat the child. But there is one thing I need to clarify.”

“Yesterday, your mother asked me the child’s name, and I told her the name was ‘Lily.‘ Whether you continue to use the name ‘Pledge‘ after you take her home is up to you.”

Heath sighed softly. “Thank you.”

“Since you’re taking the child back to the pack, will you allow her to see Julia later on?” Adelaide asked.

Heath nodded. “In principle, yes. My mother mentioned yesterday that if my father wants to bring Julia back, too, she would agree to let him formalize a mating bond with Julia.”

Adelaide looked at him with some surprise. “Mr. Wall, you are a reasonable person. That is your mother; try to be more considerate of her and her feelings.”

Heath quickly defended his mother. “Please don’t misunderstand. My mother is not a petty person. She is doing this for the greater good, to prevent the Walls from being leveraged because of this incident.”

“I’m not misunderstanding. I know your mother is thinking of the bigger picture. But just because she is thinking of the greater good doesn’t mean you should treat her like she has no emotions and can’t be hurt. After something like this, do you think your father is the most humiliated? He is not. Your mother is the most humiliated and the most heartbroken. Yet, in this difficult state, she is still able to consider the future of the Walls. You cannot compare your perspective to hers.”

Adelaide rarely showed this kind of patience when communicating with members of the Walls.

Initially, she had worried Hespere was being too soft, but a deeper thought made it clear: Hespere’s actions were calculated.

She didn’t want the Walls, or her daughter, Lycan Luna Camilla, to be attacked with this information in the future. By willingly facing the problem and accepting responsibility, she preempted any threat.

Heath’s eyes showed a touch of melancholy, but he still defended his father’s position. “I know Mother is hurting, but if anyone is in agony, it’s my father. This incident has made many younger pack members lose their respect for him. He sacrificed so much over the years to protect the pack’s reputation.”

“He only sought out Julia because he had nowhere to vent his own emotional distress. As someone who also works in government, you must know how tough it is–especially for my father as the Minister of Human Resources. He works tirelessly selecting talent for the government and overseeing official evaluations…”

Adelaide understood that men often subconsciously sided with their gender, and that his position defined his perception. There was no point in arguing.

She cut him off. “Alright, Mr. Wall. I’m just offering a suggestion. This is your family affair, and it’s not appropriate for me to interfere too much. You manage it as you see fit.”

Heath looked slightly embarrassed. “Understood. I’ll take Pledge home now. I’ll ask Mother for her opinion on bringing Julia back to the pack later. If Mother agrees, I’ll send someone to pick her up. For now, I won’t let them meet.”

Adelaide almost reminded him to stop using the name “Pledge.”

It was undoubtedly twisting the knife in his mother’s wound.

But Heath clearly hadn’t realized that, and saying any more would just be overstepping.

Heath left with the child, never mentioning letting the child see Julia, or even asking if Julia would be willing to go to the Walls.

After sorting out some matters at the shelter, Adelaide went to see Julia.

Julia was alone in her dorm room. The shelter housed two people per room, and her roommate hadn’t returned.

She was sitting on the bed, clutching a blanket. Since arriving, she had barely spoken and hadn’t eaten anything all day.

“Why aren’t you eating?” Adelaide asked.

Julia let out a tiny sigh of relief, her voice firm. “Luna Hespere will be good to her. I know that.”
