The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175: SHE IS BAD LUCK!

"Next time, refrain yourself from chiding them over trivial things." Cane didn’t like it when Aria was about to scold the little boy for something that was so insignificant earlier. He could tell that she was only holding back because he was there.

"I am sorry about that, I just thought that the boy bothered you, since you looked so troubled and worried with the problem of the strange illness." Aria lowered her head, she looked remorseful, but Cane didn’t prolong the topic and kept his silence.

He enjoyed the innocent laughter of those children and how their voices chirped happily. Their world must be so beautiful and pure if they could still laugh like that after all they had gone through and how they lost their families.

Cane hoped, one day, he would find that kind of peace too.

"Do you know the name of that little boy?"

Aria gave a start at that random question. "What? The boy that approached you earlier?" She asked, but actually, she was trying to remember his name. "James," she blurted out the first name that came to her mind, because she couldn’t remember that little boy’s name. No. She didn’t even know his name.

Moreover, Cane wouldn’t know his name either, right? There were so many children here.

"No. His name is Archer," Cane said simply. Aria spent three weeks in the orphanage, so she must remember some of them, even if she couldn’t remember them all.

"Ah, I mixed it up with another boy’s name. I will remember that."

Cane said nothing, but continued to sit there in silence.

=============================

"What happened to you?" Jace noticed there was something unusual with Cane. He looked a little bit pale and was unusually sluggish. "Are you listening?"

"Hm?" Cane raised his head and stared at the Beta. "I am fine."

Jace shook his head and put away the scrolls of reports in front of him. "No, this will not do. You need to take a rest. It is almost midnight."

This time, Cane didn’t refuse, as he went to the bed, which was another surprising thing for Jace to see how obedient the Alpha was being. Probably, he was really in pain.

But then, his expression grew fearful, as he remembered something important.

The Beta rushed toward the door and issued an order to the guard there. "Call Grace here immediately!"

He remembered that this afternoon Cane went to the orphanage to see the children that mysteriously fell ill. Their symptoms were the same as his now. At night, they got fever and fell unconscious the next day.

When her voice rang inside the room, all of them whipped their heads around toward Iris, who emerged from the door, barefooted. She looked clumsy and worried. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}
