Chapter 164

**Chapter 0164**

She trembled, her eyes fixed on her open wound. I wrapped my arms around her, feeling frustrated that she was so tense at my touch. I pulled her closer to me and lifted her gently.

I felt her grip tighten around my arms as she took a sharp breath. She held onto me with her good hand and carefully moved her injured hand away, making sure not to get any blood on me.

“Take me to your bathroom,” I said firmly to Raymond.

“Yes, Alpha,” he said quickly as he hurried out of the dining hall. I followed him, not stopping to glance back at the mother and daughter sitting there.

As we walked down the hallway, I suddenly heard a loud gasp behind us.

Michele looked at Judy with concern. “What happened? Are you okay?” she asked, her voice full of worry.

“I’m okay, Mom,” Judy replied weakly. “Just a little cut.”

Michele examined Judy more closely and frowned. “You’re losing a lot of blood. I need…”

“I need to patch it up before she loses any more,” I said as I followed Raymond down the hall.

We walked into the bathroom, and just as Raymond was about to say something else, I slammed the door in his face.

I let out a breath of relief.

Judy was still tense, her eyes locked on her wound. I carefully placed her on the counter and started looking for a first aid kit in the bathroom. It didn’t take long to find one under the sink.

“You don’t have to worry,” I said, trying to reassure her.

“I have to do this,” Judy said, breaking the silence.

I looked up at her for a moment before I started searching through the first aid kit. I found bandages and ointment inside.

“Do you really expect me to let you bleed out?” I asked, surprised.

She shrugged her shoulder but didn’t say anything. I took her hand and turned on the water at the sink.

As soon as my hand touched her wrist, she tensed up. It became hard for me to move her.

I frowned at her.

“Just let me take care of you,” I said, feeling a strong sense of connection to her that made me feel almost on fire. She looked deep into my eyes for a moment, then finally relaxed.

I gently placed her hand in the warm water and began to rinse her wound. She winced from the sting, and her body tensed up for a moment. But soon, she started to relax again, letting out a deep breath.

I felt a sense of relief wash over me. I gently ran my thumb in circles around her wrist, trying to soothe her as I cleaned her wound. With each stroke, I noticed she relaxed more and more. Soon, she started looking at me every now and then, which made me feel hopeful. I wanted to comfort her further.

I could feel her intense gaze on the side of my face, even though I pretended not to notice. It was hard to resist the smile that wanted to break through at the corners of my lips.

“Why are you acting like you don’t see me?” she asked, breaking the silence.

“Are you here?” she asked, breaking the heavy silence that was starting to surround us.

I quickly grabbed the bandages and some ointment to help keep her wound from getting infected.

“I came here for you,” I said.

She clearly didn’t expect that reply. She took a sharp breath, her eyes widening in surprise.

“What? You can’t be serious!” she exclaimed.

I paused for a moment, looking up at her and meeting her gaze.

“I was wrong,” I admitted.

I kept my gaze fixed on her as I spoke. “I want to apologize for everything. I shouldn’t have accused you of hurting my son. I know you could never do something so cruel. I should have listened to you instead of just kicking you out.”

“I’m here to apologize to you.”

She was quiet for a long time, just staring into my eyes.

I finally looked away so I could focus on her wound. I gently applied the ointment, and she winced at the sting.

She focused on her injury. I wrapped her hand tightly, making sure her wound was closed.

I sent a link to Taylor, asking him to have his friend check on Judy’s wound in the morning.

When I was done, I let go of my hold on her hand.

I helped her, even though I didn’t want to.

“Thank you,” she finally said, breaking the silence again. “For wrapping my hand and for apologizing…”

“I should have done it sooner,” I replied, looking her in the eyes.

“I’m sorry,” she said, looking into his eyes. “Sending Taylor to you was a silly and cowardly thing to do.”

She tried to hold back a smile, but I could see it starting to show on her face as her cheeks turned red.

“Yes, it was,” she admitted.

“You’re right,” she agreed. “But you did the right thing. I’m glad you came when Kelsey was acting crazy. Who knows what else she might have done if you hadn’t stepped in?”

I didn’t want to think about what could have happened.

I wrapped my arms around her, holding her close, and looked deep into her eyes.

“Good thing she’ll never get the chance to hurt you again,” I whispered.

She frowned, confused.

“What are you talking about?” she asked.

She asked, “She has all the opportunities in the world. I kind of live with her now, if you hadn’t noticed.”

I smirked and leaned in closer to her, our lips just inches apart. I could feel her warmth.

The warm breath brushed against my lips, bringing a comforting warmth to my face.

“Not anymore you don’t,” I whispered softly before gently kissing her lips, light as a feather. Her cheeks flushed a bright pink as she sighed happily, enjoying the sweet moment we shared.

“I’m giving you a kiss,” she said. “Because from now on, you are going to live with me.”

That was the start of a new chapter for them.
