Christine suddenly realized something. She stretched her arms slowly and hugged Gloria. She said reluctantly, "Have you made up your mind?"
"Yes. And I'm sorry," Gloria said with guilt.
"You don't have to say sorry. You have figured out what really happened back then, and there is no more misunderstanding between you and Alpha Patrick. But, why do you still want to leave?" Christine was puzzled.
Gloria shook her head and smiled bitterly. "The grudge between me and him will always be there. Since he rejected me and sent me into the werewolf prison mercilessly, we could no longer make up again."
"But the misunderstanding has been resolved!" Christine emphasized again.
"Women are foolish sometimes. I also want to fool myself, but I can't do it. Every day and night, the wounds on my body are constantly aching. They remind me of what happened in the past. I can't deceive myself that everything is over." Gloria's tone was sad but firm.
'Moreover, he doesn't trust me,' Gloria thought. Just now, Patrick's hesitation made everything clear.
"Christine, he can't keep me locked up anymore!" There were tears on Gloria's face, yet her expression had never been so relaxed.
For some reason, Christine felt distressed because of Gloria's words.
Gloria could pour out her grievances and even curse Patrick to vent the anger from the humiliation she had suffered over the years because she could finally prove her innocence.
However, she chose to leave. At the moment of farewell, she was like a happy little girl.
"Where are you going?" Christine asked.
Gloria replied without a second thought, "Hawaii."
She paused for a moment and then added, "Don't tell anyone about it. The sky there is blue, the water is clear, and the wind is refreshing. It should be a place without pain."
Gloria hoped that no one would come after her so that she could stay in Hawaii peacefully.
"The last question," Christine said. "Do you still love him?"
Gloria, who was just smiling with satisfaction, suddenly fell silent.
"Forget it," Christine said.
Gloria suddenly shook her head. She looked at Christine and said, "I don't know."
Christine was stunned. What did Gloria mean?
Gloria shook her head again. "I really don't know."
After so many things happened, did it still matter anymore?
The corners of Gloria's mouth turned up. "When I am with him, every moment is painful. When I sleep by his side, I can't sleep at all."
Only then did Christine notice Gloria's black-ringed eyes.
"After I walked out of the werewolf prison, I was planning to leave this city. From the moment I saw him in Fittro Club, I never dared to love him again. My only thought was to pay the debt." Gloria chuckled. She didn't intend to tell Christine about Mica.
Mica was the only remaining warmth and affection in her heart.
Christine did not understand what Gloria meant. Didn't Damon admit that he had killed Gabrielle in person? What debt did Gloria have to pay?
Christine was confused, but since Gloria was unwilling to say more, she stopped asking her.
Gloria was about to leave. Christine stopped her and said, "Wait a minute."
She took off her necklace and ring and stuffed them into Gloria's hand. She said, "No matter where you go, you need money. I don't know if you have prepared for this. Pawn them for some money."
Gloria looked at the ring and necklace in her hand and felt sad, her eyes filled with tears. She wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Goodbye, Christine."
She did not return the ring and necklace to Christine. She reached out and hugged Christine again. Their hearts were overwhelmed by the sadness of separation.
Christine took out all the cash and said, "If you are determined to leave, I will not stop you. I know. You won't give up a luxurious life and go to a strange city if you haven't made up your mind."
Gloria's throat tightened. She could not express her gratitude to Christine, and her tears kept streaming down.
"Stop crying. Go now. Don't hesitate, and don't regret it." Christine pushed Gloria away and no longer looked at her. "Go now."
Christine could no longer control her tears, while Gloria turned and left.
She left in a hurry, and she could feel the gaze following her from behind.
'Goodbye, Christine. I won't regret it!' Gloria said inwardly.
It suddenly started to rain. Gloria hailed a taxi outside the werewolf hospital,
She went to the Silver Spring Pack. The car stopped far away from the Alpha's villa. She got out of the car and turned to the driver. "Please wait for ten minutes."
"Just hurry," the driver said.
"Thank you." Gloria hurried to the villa, but she did not go in and stopped under a tree not far from the left side of the villa. She dug under the tree and quickly picked up an iron box. Then she quickly covered the spot and rushed back to the taxi.
"Let's go."
The driver asked, "Miss, where are you going?"
"Airport," Gloria blurted out.
Patrick was confronting others outside the warehouse. He didn't know that Gloria had left the city.
"Ellison." Patrick looked at the person who was smiling maliciously and called out his name.
"Hello, Patrick, my younger brother." Ellison's smile was provocative.
"My mother only has one son. I don't have a brother." Patrick sneered. "Ellison, you are behind Damon, right?"
Otherwise, how could Ellison's people show up here to block Patrick's way just as he was about to leave?
Ellison denied. "I know he kidnapped the expelled daughter of the Silver Spring Pack, but it didn't mean that I told him to do so."
"So, you know who is behind this?" Patrick continued to ask.
"You want to know?" Ellison laughed. "Beat me. Then, I'll tell you."
Patrick and Ellison shifted. They revealed their sharp fangs and strong muscles. Their eyes were like those of ferocious beasts, and they fought each other violently.
To Patrick, Ellison's existence was like a thorn in his finger. Although it wouldn't kill him, he would feel uncomfortable if he touched it.
In contrast, to Ellison, Patrick was the person he wanted to defeat the most in his life.
They were brothers, but they had different mothers. They were more like enemies.
Ellison was dissatisfied. He was also the son of the Alpha of the Black Thorn Pack, yet his life was nothing to be compared with Patrick's.
So they fought each other and spared no pain.
