Chapter 143: Confrontations and Revelations

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

I turned to Clara Parker with a sardonic smile. “Mrs. Parker, are you still planning to move your mate out of the Intensive Healing Ward?”

Clara’s face flushed red as she realized the absurdity of her earlier complaints. “No, no! It was all a

misunderstanding!”

Her voice trembled with embarrassment. “I won’t move him anymore.”

As I turned to leave, Clara desperately called out behind me. “Alpha Marcus! Would you honor us by joining our family for moonlight wine sometime?”

Amber Stone stepped forward immediately, her voice firm and professional. “Mrs. Parker, the eight million yuan has already settled any debt between your family and Alpha Marcus.”

Clara’s hopeful expression crumbled. “But I just thought=”

“Furthermore,” Amber Stone continued coldly, “you are not to use the Alpha’s

future. This is your only warning.”

Clara nodded frantically, her earlier arrogance completely evaporated.

Marcus caught up with me in the corridor, his golden eyes searching my face. “Elena, let me explain about the Parker family situation.”

I stopped walking and faced him directly. “Your selective memory regarding debts of gratitude is interesting, Marcus.”

His jaw tightened at my pointed observation. “What do you mean?”

“William Parker’s condition is critical,” I explained clinically. “Subarachnoid hemorrhage has high mortality

and disability rates.”

Marcus frowned. “The medical team is handling it.”

“You should communicate with Clara about the importance of Intensive Healing Ward care,” I continued. “People accustomed to poverty remain frugal even after sudden wealth.”

When Marcus showed reluctance to get further involved, I couldn’t hide my frustration. “You’ll give eight million but hesitate over medical expenses?”

His golden eyes sharpened as he sensed my underlying concern. “Are you angry about something else?”

Before I could respond, a pack nurse hurried toward us. “Healer Elena! Professor Ashworth has awakened.”

We rushed to Hugo’s healing chamber, where I encountered his parents for the first time. His father Steven immediately confronted me with blazing eyes.

“How could you allow the surgery knowing my son’s phobia of blood?” Steven’s voice was harsh with

accusation.

Hugo struggled to sit up in his bed. “Father, Elena needed assistance with a critical case-”

“Silence!” Steven snapped. “You could have died from the shock!”

I stepped forward, taking responsibility. “Mr. Ashworth, the decision was mine. I should have considered Professor Ashworth’s condition.”

Hugo’s eyes widened with protest, but I continued. “I won’t let this damage your relationship with your son.”

The tension in the room was suffocating. Evelyn Ashworth stood silently by the window, her elegant figure

tense with worry.

Marcus entered the chamber at that moment, his presence immediately commanding attention. Steven’s

hostility became even more apparent.

“Elena is my mate,” Marcus stated bluntly, his golden eyes fixed on Steven. “I suggest you control your son’s

behavior around other Alphas‘ mates.”

Steven’s face darkened with old anger. “Your father’s arrogance lives on in you, Marcus Blackwood.”

“My father?” Marcus’s voice carried a dangerous edge.

“The Blackwood family has always believed they could take whatever they wanted,” Steven spat. “Some debts can never be

The heated exchange escalated quickly. Evelyn Ashworth finally spoke, her voice strained with frustration.

“Enough! I can’t stand this anymore!” She swept out of the room, leaving behind a wake of tension.

After leaving the tense healing chamber, Marcus walked beside me in the corridor. His expression was

troubled as he tried to explain.

“Steven’s hostility stems from past grievances with my father,” he said quietly. “Don’t take his harsh words to

heart.”

I nodded, but my mind was already moving to more pressing concerns. “Marcus, I’need to ask you

something.”

His golden eyes focused on me intently. “What is it?”

“What are your feelings for Hugo?” The question came out more bluntly than I intended.

I felt heat rise in my cheeks. “He’s my friend and colleague. I care about his wellbeing.”

Marcus’s expression hardened. “Pure friendship between male and female werewolves is impossible, Elena.”

His words triggered a bitter laugh from me. “Like your friendship with Sophia Rivers?”

Marcus flinched as if I’d struck him. “That’s different-”

“Is it?” I interrupted, my voice rising with years of suppressed pain. “You maintained contact with her under

the guise of friendship after your breakup.”

His golden eyes flickered with discomfort. “Elena—”

“You’re uncomfortable with my closeness to Hugo,” I continued relentlessly. “But you haven’t experienced even

a fraction of what I endured watching you with Sophia.”

The truth hung between us like a blade. Marcus’s face contorted with guilt and regret.

I returned home to find my mother waiting in the living room, her face streaked with tears. The moment she saw me, her expression shifted to fury.

“Your father is in the hospital with a brain hemorrhage!” she screamed. “Where have you been?”

The bank card slipped from my trembling fingers and clattered to the floor. Clara’s eyes immediately fixed on

“What is that?” Her voice was dangerously quiet.

I tried to grab the card, but she was faster. Her face went white as she recognized it.

“You stole your father’s bank card?” The slap came without warning, stinging my cheek.

“I needed one million yuan!” I protested, holding my burning face. “Someone threatened to expose our family’s secrets about the money!”

Clara’s anger transformed into horror. “What secrets?”
