Chapter 172: More Evans?
Angela stood with her head resting against the wall, eyes closed as she waited for the doctor to bring her good
news. Deep inside she kept blaming herself for everything that had been happening. To protect everyone, she
had no choice but to leave the Academy, but that decision had to remain her secret.
"Are you alright?" Renn’s voice broke the silence.
She opened her eyes and found him standing close, his green eyes fixed on her with so much worry that it made
her chest ache.
"How can | be?" she whispered, lowering her gaze. "lI have been crying so much lately. No matter how broken my
life used to be, | never cried this way. Everything changed when | cto this Academy. | accepted all the
changes, even the ones that toldmy whole life was a lie. | lived with it, | didn’t fight it. But now | can’t bear
watching people get hurt because of me. | can’t."
"Hey, don’t say that," Renn murmured, reaching for her hand. When he saw the tears glistening in her eyes, his
heart twisted. He pulled her into his arms and rubbed her back. "Chere. If you keep crying, you will make
everyone sad."
"But | already made them sad," Angela sobbed, her tears soaking into his shirt as she clung to him tighter. "I
made you and your brothers fight, and now | am putting other lives in danger."
"Why would you say that?" Renn asked, shocked that she believed it. He didn’t let her answer. "That's not true,
my love. Do you know that before you came, | couldn't stand Kaito? But now, because of you, we spend time
together without trying to kill each other. We even go out together. You gavepeace when | had nothing left."
Angela lifted her face to look at him. His words caught her off guard. What did he mean, she gave him peace
when he had lost everything? Was he talking about his mother? Her heart ached for him. He had no memories of
her, and even though that was painful, it was still better than the memories Angela had of her own mother. At
least Renn still had his father, and Alpha Gerald had always seemed kind.
"Hiro and Taros are still fighting," she whispered sadly. "I hate it. | feel so terrible knowing I caused it."
Renn chuckled even though he knew it was not the best moment. Hiro and Taros were still with Kael and they
would not be out anytsoon. "I wish | had been there during the fight. But do you know that Taros would give
his life for Hiro?"
"What?" Angela looked at him in surprise. That sounded both strange and impossible. She knew that Kaito and
Taros were close, but Hiro and Taros? That was hard to believe. "I can bet that’s not true."
"I'm telling you the truth," Renn said, tapping her nose with his finger. She flinched, which only made him laugh.
He tried again and this tshe leaned forward, pretending she would bite his hand. "Try harder, Angel without a
surname."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer eyes narrowed at him. "What did you just call me?" She looked so small standing in front of him, yet
somehow she still managed to make his heart beat faster.
"Can the both of you stop acting lovey-dovey?" Alex's voice cfrom the side. Angela turned, startled to see
him standing there with two cups of coffee in his hands.
She glanced around quickly and noticed that only Slade and Hailey were still waiting outside. Kaito was gone and
she wondered where he might have gone. Samuel had just cin with Alex.
"Is it that obvious?" Angela pulled her arm away from Renn, but Alex only nodded in reply.
"You don’t know your friend has been crying since we got here," Renn said, his eyes lingering on her with so
much warmth that she had to look away. "I only managed to calm her down a minute ago."
"Oh, | see. Why have you been crying?" Alex asked gently as he handed them the cups. He stepped back,
slipping both his hands into his pockets. "Did something happen to Kael that we weren't told? | know he had a
fever from the lupine injection."
"No, nothing else happened," Angela said softly, her eyes fixed on the closed door of Kael’s room. "The doctor
hasn't cout yet. We're just waiting for news."
"I see. Kael will get better. We are all with him," Alex assured her. Just then, his Alpha returned from an errand
the doctor had sent him on. He gave the blood bags to a nurse and then walked over to where they were
standing.
"Was that for Kael?" Angela asked, her heart racing. Fear tightened inside her chest. She thought he was getting
better, or was it getting worse and the doctor just refused to tell them?
"Yes. He needed a blood transfusion," Kaito answered with a worried look. His eyes stayed fixed on the door for a
long moment before he finally turned to Alex. "So what did you find in Slade’s house?"
"You don’t want to know, Alpha," Alex said with a heavy sigh. He almost could not bring himself to say it. "The
guy is a psychopath. He is sick."
"We already know that. Say something new," Renn cut in sharply, his face twisting with the hatred he had built
for Slade.
"Hailey, Slade," Kaito called out, motioning for them to ccloser. He wanted everyone to hear it. Stales was
not around, probably asleep in his dorms, and Hiro and Taros were still inside with the doctor. "Go on, tell them."
"We found out that he’s sick. He's suffering from a chronic illness, and we don’t think it’s just a sexual infection.
There's more, because of the drugs we found in his room," Alex explained, his voice tight with disgust.
"The drugs were inside a box. The guy is dying," Hailey added, shaking her head, still in disbelief. The thought
that her sister had wanted to match her with someone like Slade made her stomach turn.
"That's too much," Kaito muttered, his shock plain on his face. The man had always looked healthy, strong, and
agile. How could he be dying?
"I can’t believe it. He seemed just fine," Angela whispered, struggling to understand.

"That's true. He is always lashing out at us for no reason," Renn agreed with a nod. He turned back to the ones
who had gone to investigate. "So that’s all you found?"
"No. This one will blow your mind," Alex replied, a strange smile tugging at his lips. "Mr. Slade is a doctor."
Renn blinked at him, then let out a small laugh as if he had misheard. "I don’t understand. You mean he has a
doctorate degree?"
"No," Alex corrected, his tone sharper. "He is a medical doctor. He treats humans."
