Goodbye My Alpha (Taya and Griffon)

Silas put down the contract in his hand

with a faint smile spread across his gentle face.

Taya was lying on the hospital bed, looking at him quietly from the side, as if seeing the boy from before.

He sat in the last row of the classroom, with one hand on the desk, looking at her passing by the window.

He had been just like he was right then, gentle and elegant.

They looked at each other as if saying

goodbye to the regrets they missed out

on when they were young.

After a long time, Silas withdrew his gaze to glance down at his watch before looking up at Taya, as if to have left it all

to go.

"Taya, at a quarter past four, I'll be returning to Wolverly Capital."

Taya was still full of guilt, but when she saw the relieved look in his eyes, she swallowed the words that were at the tip

of her tongue.

She looked at him, as gently as she did when she had sent him off the competition, and replied, "Silas, be

careful on the road..."

Silas's hands that were gripping the contract tightened a little. " Taya, do you still remember what a quarter past four means?"

Taya gave it some thought before slightly shaking her head at him after finding that she couldn't remember what it meant.

Silas let go of the hand that was holding the contract, bitterly holding on, praying for the hint of a miracle. After an embittered smile, he pushed the wheelchair away. Taya still couldn't turn her head back. All

she could hear was the sound of the

wheelchair rolling on the ground,

gradually disappearing into the

distance...

She looked at the white clouds outside

the window, recalling in a daze the scene when Silas had confessed to her with a bouquet of flowers back when she had

been seventeen.

His words lingered in her mind, "Taya, the time I confess my love for you is exactly a quarter past four. You have to remember the time. Don't forget." She vividly remembered her response was, "Okay, I'll never forget."

It turned out that a quarter past four was

the moment he had confessed his love to

her back at the age of seventeen...

Enduring the severe pain, Taya got up from the bed to look back at Silas. "I'm sorry, Silas, I forgot..."

Silas paused, but he didn't look past his shoulders. "Taya, it's okay, it's enough that I remember it."

Taya's tears rolled. The severe pain in her back sent her forehead dripping with cold sweat. "Silas, will I be able to meet you again?"

Silas was holding back tears, but he

didn't look back. "Taya, in the future, we

won't meet again, and...let's not keep in

touch..."

Only by completely withdrawing from her life could he let her go forever.

Else, what could he do to forget the person he had loved for half his life?

Silas pushed the wheelchair, and without looking back, left the ward, leaving her...

Staring at the determined figure, Taya couldn't hold back tears from brimming in her eyes, "Silas, goodbye..."

"Goodbye, my boy, goodbye, the Silas I

rowe for half of my life...

The man in the wheelchair, with

red-rimmed eyes, had the corners of his lips tugged. "Goodbye, Taya..."

over.

"Mr. Sterling, Master Sterling is waiting for you at home, let's go home..."

Silas turned his head and looked in the direction of the ward before forcing himself to look away, saying, "Let's first head over to the orphanage." Upon receiving the order, Camille

pushed him into the elevator, and drove

him to the orphanage.

Silas did not go to the orphanage.

Instead, he arrived at the park where the wedding was held, staring at the bushes

in the distance.

He had stumbled into Taya among

the

bushes, and that was where their fate started, and too, where their fate ended.

No one in the world would know that he would eventually be trapped in the past alone, unable to extricate himself forever.
