Chapter 397
After being in a daze for a long time,
Taya came to her senses and slowly
looked at his legs. “What about you?
What’s wrong with your legs?”
Silas followed her line of sight, touched
his disabled leg, and said lightly, “It’s just
a gunshot wound. Don’t worry.”
When Taya heard the word “gunshot
wound,” she thought of his suicide, and
her face was full of self-blame. “Were
you in front of my grave…”
Silas shook his head and denied, “No, it
has nothing to do with you. Don’t blame yourself.”
How could Taya believe him? She
frowned and said to him, “Silas, we’ve known each other for so many years. Is there anything you can’t tell me?”
They were each other’s first love and
pack for many years. Their friendship was so deep that even the change of years could not erase it.
Silas looked at her and remained silent
for a long time. Finally, he said slowly, “That night, I planned to kill myself for you, but Griffon stopped me…”
Speaking of this, he subconsciously glanced at Taya. Seeing that her expression didn’t seem to change, he continued, “Griffon took away the gun
in my hand, But I was determined to die.
accidentally hurt my leg…”
Taya raised her eyes and looked at him in a daze. “Why are you so silly…”
Silas smiled faintly. “What’s the point of
me living without you?”
The guilt in Taya’s heart was amplified infinitely, making her feel so ashamed
that she had nowhere to hide.
Silas was still alive, but his leg was
injured. He could no longer move as freely as before. The damage done
couldn’t be repaired by his wolf.
He said it had nothing to do with her and
asked her not to blame herself. But it was
all because of her.
Taya raised her hand and touched his
leg, her face full of guilt. “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault…”
Silas didn’t care and comforted her
softly, “Taya, it really has nothing to do
with you. It’s my own fault.”
Taya shook her head and said with tears
in her eyes, “If you hadn’t thought I was dead, you wouldn’t have…”
Silas pressed down on her red lips to
stop her from continuing. “No matter when you pass away, I’ll follow you.”
He had always planned to do so, and no
one could stop him, including her.
Looking at his stubborn expression, Taya
felt as if her heart was being crushed by
a stone.
She lowered her gaze, staring at his legs, her guilt not subsiding but instead devouring her even faster.
Silas rubbed her hair again and said,
“Don’t worry. The doctor is still treating
are working on finding a way to repair
me enough for my wolf to be able to do
something, for me to be able to shift.”
These words lit up a glimmer of hope in Taya’s dim eyes. “Really?”
Silas smiled and nodded at her. “Yes.”
The doctor said that his nerves were
damaged and he would be paralyzed
for the rest of his life, but he didn’t want
to see Taya continue to blame herself
sadly.
When Taya got the answer, she wiped
the tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly, “Then, I’ll stay by your
side and take care of you in the future.”
Silas’s face stiffened slightly. He couldn’t
help but look at his legs…
Taking care of a disabled person was
very difficult. How could he be selfish
enough to let her spend her whole life
atoning for her guilt?
Silas looked at her and shook his head
