Chapter 106: I Want to Stay

[Elizabeth’s Perspective]

I felt tears welling up in my eyes. I knew it would be difficult for me to control them this time. Armstrong would definitely see my tears. It would also make him think that I was a fragile little girl and not Luna, who had the right to stand beside him.

At this moment, a violent cough came from the ward.

Armstrong and I both looked at the room. Only then did I remember why I had come out. It was because of Anthony. I was about to explain, but Armstrong had already walked past me and entered the ward.

I followed him in and found that Anthony was indeed awake.

When I entered the room, I wiped the corners of my eyes with the back of my hand and wiped away the tears that were about to flow. I whispered, “I saw Anthony’s fingers move just now. I thought he might be waking up soon, so I came out to look for someone.”

Armstrong grunted in agreement, which was a yes.

Anthony leaned against the hospital bed and cranked the joystick to raise the bed backrest to support himself.

“I heard voices outside the door just now. Is that you?” Anthony said weakly.

Armstrong nodded and said, “You’re finally awake. You scared us all this time.”

Anthony flashed a smile and said, “I’m fine. I’m the one who should be ashamed. I wasn’t careful enough.Did they catch the person who attacked us?”

“Don’t worry about these things. It’s more important to recuperate,” Armstrong said.

“I’m not badly hurt,” Anthony said. “I should be back on patrol in less than two days.”

Anthony did seem to be in good spirits. After he sat up, he was not as pale and weak as he had been in the hospital bed. I felt a weight finally lift from my heart.

“Kid, don’t show off.” Armstrong looked much more relaxed. He reached out and punched Anthony’s shoulder.

“Ouch!” cried Anthony, holding his shoulder.

“What are you doing?” I was suddenly nervous. I took a step forward from behind Armstrong and squeezed past him.

My movement stunned both of them.

Armstrong, on the other hand, was fine. When Anthony saw me just now, his expression suddenly became unnatural. He said, “It’s nothing. The Alpha didn’t use any force.”

Anthony dropped his hand from his shoulders as he spoke.

I knew that I had made a mistake. Armstrong had always been on good terms with Anthony, so of course he wouldn’t really use force. I lowered my head and didn’t say anything. I stood beside Armstrong and gently grabbed the corner of my shirt with my fingers.

I thought I understood which of the two of them was really important to me. That person was not Armstrong, but Anthony.

The moment I saw Anthony sit up, the joy in my heart far exceeded what I had felt from my contact with Armstrong. To be able to see him joke with people as usual and say that he was fine was the thing that made me feel the happiest at the moment.

“I didn’t expect Luna Elizabeth to visit me. I’m really flattered.” Anthony smiled at Armstrong but didn’t look at me.

Armstrong explained, “Lycan King and Margaret came just now. They were the ones who brought Elizabeth over, but you weren’t awake then, so you didn’t see her.”

“Lycan king?” Anthony seemed to be chewing on the words.

After a while, he looked up with an apologetic expression. He said to Armstrong, “Although my injuries are not serious, I’m afraid I can’t protect Luna Elizabeth for the time being. Since I’m awake, I’ll resume my normal duties.

“Don’t worry about such a small matter. What you have to do now is to recuperate,” Armstrong said.

Small matter.

I bit my lower lip.

Everything about me was a small matter with Armstrong.

“I want to stay here and take care of him,” I blurted out.

Now, all eyes in the room were on me. I saw Anthony shake his head imperceptibly at me. I lowered my head and stared at the white blanket, pretending not to see it.

Before Armstrong could speak, Anthony spoke first. “This isn’t appropriate. How can Luna come to take care of me? You should stay with the Alpha.”

Anthony rarely used the honorific on me like this. He was giving me a no.

But I didn’t want to listen to him. I didn’t want to stay unhappy with Armstrong anymore. I wanted to be with someone who could make me feel comfortable, whether he was my Mate or not. Even if we couldn’t be together in the end for other reasons, I at least had the present.

“Indeed, Elizabeth, it is not appropriate for you to stay here,” Armstrong said. “Anthony will have someone to look after him. And you—”

Armstrong paused. I knew what he was trying to say. It had to be that I couldn’t do these things well.

In Armstrong’s eyes, I had always been just a pretty face. As he had said to Margaret earlier, an otherworldly “princess.”
