Chapter 147 Dianaâs pov Avia looked like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, freezing her in place.
âNO...â Her lips trembled slightly, panic rising in her eyes. âThis isnât chicken blood, itâs-â
âWhether it is or isnât, a simple check will reveal the truth,â Moss sneered, mocking her. âYour genes surely canât be the same as a chickenâs, can they?â
In an instant, Aviaâs face went as white as paper.
Yet even though the truth seemed obvious, she remained unrepentant.
Maintaining her composure, she challenged, âWhy should I to take my handkerchief to frame me? Youâre with Diana, y lleve you? Whoâs to say youâre not trying blood, youâll twist it into chicken blood.â
definitely help her. Even if this is my Avia clutched Nathanâs arm tightly, attempting to clear her name. âNathan, you mustnât believe them, I really didnât-â
âEnough!â Nathanâs voice, laced with coldness, cut her off.
Taking a deep breath, he said, âIâm not a fool, I can tell whoâs lying.â
Avia recoiled, her tearâfilled eyes blinking in confusion.
âNathan, I really didnât...â
âTell the truth!â Nathan didnât give her a chance to continue her sophistry, his expression chilling. âYou know, I detest liars the most.â
Aviaâs forced composure finally shattered in this moment.
Trembling, she sobbed, âIâm sorry, Nathan, I didnât mean to deceive you. But I had my reasons for doing so, I just... I just hate Diana so much, what she did to me, I canât forgive...
H At the mention of what Diana did, Nathanâs gaze softened slightly as he looked at Avia.
Summoning a maid who was already trembling with fear, he instructed, âTake Avia back to her room.â âYes, Alpha.â
Approaching Aviaâs side, the maid said, âLuna, letâs go back.â
Avia glanced back at Nathan with reluctance. She wanted to say something more, but under Nathanâs penetrating gaze, she dared not linger any longer and could only leave in distress.
The curtain fell on the drama.
I jumped off the bed, rolled my neck, and shrugged my shoulders.
Approaching Nathan, I said casually, âItâs Avia who refused the blood transfusion, not me ruining our deal. I wonât return those medical supplies to you.!!
âI know,â Nathanâs voice was hoarse, his expression unexpectedly weary. âSince the supplies were given to you, I never intended for you to return them.â
I nodded, not saying anything, and turned to leave.
However, just as I turned, Nathan grabbed my wrist.
Then, with brute force, he pulled me forcibly in front of him.
Drawing closer, Nathanâs expression suddenly turned fierce.
He asked, âSo, youâve known all along that Avia was faking her illness?â
âBefore today, you hadnât even met Avia, so how did you know she was faking it?â
Thadnât expected Nathan to have the presence of mind to consider this amidst his anger.
Not understanding what he was aiming for, I swallowed nervously and said, âI didnât know she was faking it. She exposed herself out of fear.â
âDo you take me for a fool?â
Nathan approached me further, a dangerous aura surrounding me.
âYour methods can only intimidate naive girls like Avia. Do you think Iâll believe thereâs no collusion between you and him-â
Nathan glared fiercely at Moss, with inexplicable anger in his eyes,â plotting between you?
по âNaive?â I scoffed, âSo, even if Avia plotted something so malicious, you still think sheâs naive? Is she really naive, or are you just foolish?â
A hint of panic flickered in Nathanâs eyes due to guilt.
However, being an Alpha accustomed to a highâranking lifestyle, he had long cultivated a selfâcentered personality.
Therefore, he blatantly evaded my question, his tone dangerously stating, âIâm the one asking now. Answer me, how did you know Avia was feigning illness?â
I understood Nathanâs character.
If I couldnât provide him with a reasonable explanation today, he wouldnât easily let Moss and me leave. Suppressing my frustration, I sighed and took a few seconds to think before saying, âHealer told me âHealer?â Nathan furrowed his brow slightly.
âYes. She informed me yesterday that she had just examined Avia and found her illness to be fabricated.â
ere is this Healer now? Whuune Mare âWhere is this Healer now? Why was Moss drawing blood today, not her?â Nathan pressed.
At that moment, I finally understood what Nathan truly wanted to know. He was suspicious of me, suspecting that my relationship with Healer wasnât as straightforward as he believed, perhaps even... He suspected I was Healer.
I smiled without changing my expression, âJust drawing blood is such a trivial matter; thereâs no need to bother Healer, right?
Arenât you cooperating with William Donât you know Healer is very busy?
Nathan evidently wasnât entirely convinced, but I didnât care Shaking him off forcefully, I rubbed my wrist, which he had gripped painfully, and said coldly, âDonât fucking touch me again in the future, it disgusts me.â
With that, ignoring, Nathanâs terrifyingly grim expression, I decisively grabbed Mossâs hand and left the blood drawing room.
âAre you intentionally using me to anger Alpha Nathan?â Moss asked after we had walked a distance away from the bloodâ
drawing room.
âHuh?â I didnât understand his implication, stopping in my tracks and turning to look at him. âWhat are you talking about?â
Moss lifted the wrist I had held tightly.
âYou just told Nathan that his touch made you feel disgusted, then immediately grabbed my hand. Arenât you using me to provoke him?â
It was as if I had been shocked, quickly releasing Moss and stepping back two paces.
âYouâve misunderstood. I just wanted to leave quickly and happened to grab you... I mean, I definitely didnât use you.
Moss smiled faintly, âYou donât need to be so nervous. Even if you used me, it wouldnât bother me.â
1 blinked, once again lost in confusion. Meanwhile, Moss had already changed the subject.
âNow that weâve obtained the medical equipment, shouldnât we move on to the next step?â
Talking about this matter helped me clear my scattered thoughts.
âOf course,â I said seriously, âthe next step depends on Fisher. I think itâs time to meet him with my real identity.â
