Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 652

Chapter 652: Wanted to ruin me

"Why did you even ask Flora to take you to that forest?" she finally questioned, her eyes searching his.

"Because she tried to run away from the mansion," Gabriel replied. "She wanted to play the hero, and despite my warnings, she decided to leave. I’m sorry, Amelie, I didn’t have the time to explain any of this to you in the heat of the moment."

Amelie shook her head, the image of the jagged wounds on Flora’s neck flashing in her mind. "The claws wounded her deeply, Gabriel. You should have hurried to her. How could Alex hurt her right in your presence?" she asked, her voice rising with a hint of heartbreak. "Flora must have been so scared. That’s why she tried to leave... She thought she had to do everything alone without telling the others."

Tears began pooling in her eyes before they finally spilled over, streaming down her cheeks. The guilt of her sister being used as bait, even willingly, was more than she could bear.

Gabriel reached out to pull her into his arms, but Amelie took a step back. "What if something happens to Flora? How will you answer my parents? You did this all alone. You could have called me, warned me, before taking her into that death trap. How am I supposed to look at my parents, or even look at myself, if she doesn’t wake up?"

Gabriel’s fists tightened at his sides until his knuckles turned white. His heart felt crushed under the weight of her tears, but a darker fear was paralyzing him. He suddenly recalled Carlos’s grim premonition: Flora’s thread of life was short. The realization that she might have been destined for this, and his interference did it, made his blood run cold.

"Amelie, I—I am sorry," Gabriel managed to say.

Casaio stood by the hospital doors, his gaze shifting between them. Though he remained silent, he silently sided with Amelie. Gabriel had gambled with Amelie’s family member’s life, and now that life was hanging by a literal thread.

"I’ve let you do everything you desired," Amelie continued, her voice cracking as she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. "Just to save me, you are willing to sacrifice everyone else. But what will that do to me, Gabriel? Have you not thought about the guilt I’ll carry? I’m grateful you stay like a shield for me, but you forget that other lives are important too. Flora was once evil, yes, but she changed. She was trying to be better."

She stepped back from him. "Being a shield doesn’t mean you get to decide who is expendable."

Gabriel had no words left to even take a stand for his actions. He never thought a day like this would come when he would have no answers to justify his actions.

Suddenly, a doctor stepped out and Casaio immediately told them about it.

The doctor looked between the three of them, his brow furrowed in deep confusion. "We are unable to identify the substance in the patient’s bloodstream. It acts like a venom, but it’s stagnant. It’s as if it’s trying to stop her heart from the inside." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"The wolf who clawed her was resurrected from the death," Casaio stated.

"Resurrected from death?" The doctor stepped back, his face a mask of bewilderment. "That is medically impossible. If the source of the injury isn’t living, the biology of the wound defies everything we know."

"There must be a way to treat her," Gabriel said.
