Taya's fingers tightened a little bit, but
there was no expression on her face.
"That's your business, Dr. Simmons. It has
nothing to do with me."
Jessica revealed a graceful smile. "Since
you've said that, I understand."
After she spoke, she turned around
elegantly and looked at Stella. "See you in the operating room, Ms. Cobb."
With that, she hurriedly left the ward in
her high heels.
After she was gone, Harper was so angry
that she gritted her teeth. "If not for the fact that I'm worried she'll sabotage your operation, I would have started cursing at her."
Stella was also a little angry, but didn't say much. She just took out her mobile phone and kept trying to call Griffon.
He had already been at the base for a
month. No matter what, he would have
to get out and check his phone at some point, right?
Despite that, his phone was still turned off. Stella was a little discouraged. She put down the phone and looked at Taya. "Taya, don't take it to heart..."

Like Harper, she had stayed by Taya's
side for the past two months. They had gotten closer, and she was no longer as formal as before.
Taya's tense fingers relaxed. She looked
at Stella and Harper and smiled. "I should be the one saying that to you guys."
It didn't matter whether she took it to
heart or not. Griffon no longer had anything to do with her.
Stella and Harper looked at each other. Both of them were familiar with Taya's personality, so they didn't say anything
more.
After explaining the preparations that would have to be done before the
operation, Stella went out to work, while Harper stayed in the ward to take care of
Taya.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the skin graft
surgery.
Although Jessica regarded Taya as her rival in love, her medical skills were truly excellent. She didn't sabotage the surgery in any way.
In fact, after the operation, she gave Taya some expensive medicine that she had brought from abroad in order toNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
relieve Taya of her pain.
Taya stayed bedridden for another two months. After enduring countless bouts of severe pain, she slowly recovered.
On the day she was discharged from the hospital, Taya stood in front of the bathroom mirror. She turned sideways and glanced at her back. Although there would still be some scars, most of the skin had healed well, and it wouldn't look so shocking.
She was very satisfied with the result. Turning on the tap, she washed her
hands and walked out of the bathroom.
Harper was packing her things. When
she saw her come out, she asked, "Do
you want to take the clothes in the closet?"
Taya glanced at the rows of men's suits and muttered, "I'll take them to Stella. She can return them to him."
Harper nodded, lowering her head as
she continued to pack.
Taya stared at the clothes for a few seconds, and grabbed them one by one.
When she was taking the clothes to the dean's office, she bumped into Eric again. He had pushed Stella up against the wall as they kissed.
Taya seemed unfazed. She put down
her clothes and asked Stella to help
return them before saying, "You guys can
continue."
The moment the door closed, Stella was extremely embarrassed, but Eric was dissatisfied. He grabbed her waist with fierce desire for her. Stella endured the pain. She grabbed Eric's shoulder and muttered, "Eric, I
want a pup..."

Eric paused. His face went pale as if he was reliving a bad memory, which made him lose interest.
He pulled away, grabbing a few wet
wipes as he cleaned his fingers slowly. "Adopt one."
Stella looked at his face calmly and
continued to provoke him. "I want to have one of my own..."
A look of guilt flashed in Eric's
eyes, but
he pretended to be unaffected. "It's
better not to have pups. There won't be
anyone to bother us."
Stella noticed the guilty look in his
eyes, and she felt happy. She didn't say anything more after that.
After tidying herself up, she brought up the clothes that Taya put on the floor Ter4/ 4
earlier. "I'm going to the Knight Manor."
Eric sat on the sofa without even looking
"Come look for me at the hotel
1. up.
tonight."
Stella agreed before turning around and walking out.
After leaving, Eric was in a bit of pain. He held his forehead with one hand.
He couldn't stop thinking about how he had hired people to assault Stella back then, causing her to lose her pup, not to mention personally performing a hysterectomy on her. That unsightly past had haunted him for
the past three years, making him
miserable. Even so, Stella kept proposing marriage and pups in front of him.
How was he going to repair Stella's
uterus so that she could bear his pup?
After Taya and Harper finished packing, they went to the parking lot.
Before getting into the car, Harper realized that she had left her phone in
the ward.
She hurried back inside while Taya opened the trunk and put all the things
inside.
The moment she was done and closed
the trunk, a group of men wearing masks
suddenly showed up in front of her.
The man in charge was leaning against the car door. He was wearing a gold-copper mask and holding a golden knife in his hand while staring at her with
his head tilted.
He was tall and built, dressed in relaxed and casual clothing. He had thick locks of hair that looked quite messy.
The moment Taya saw him, she was startled. "Greyson..."
