Chapter 474
474–It Was One Stressful Day
Madeline:
Penny quietly took the glass of water with trembling hands. Then I stepped outside.
By then, Lord Eldon had already returned with Graham. I knew this would work.
“Madeline knows what she is doing,” Graham remarked when he found the three mothers outside, the ones whose children were conscious again.
I turned and saw Kaylee rushing out of her room. The moment she realized they had come back, she hurried outside too.
But there was an irritating, annoyed look on her face. She looked like she was already ready to argue.
“Where is Penny?” Lord Eldon asked, scanning around.
“Penny sprained her ankle, so she’s resting. Don’t worry,” Kaylee replied quickly, stepping forward. “I told the maid to prepare food for her and send everything to her room p>
The way she said it made it feel like she had handled everything herself, like she had personally taken care of Penny.
“Thank you so much, Kaylee,” Lord Eldon said warmly, placing a hand on her head like a blessing. “I knew I could only trust you p>
I rolled my eyes and shook my head in disbelief. No one noticed, because I kept it discreet.
I did not want their attention. I did not need praise either.
I had done a good deed from my side. That was it.
“Come, Madeline,” Graham said suddenly, pulling our attention toward him as he spoke to me directly. “ I’ll introduce you to the patients p>
“Introduce her? What’s the need?” Kaylee cut in at once. “She can meet them herself. When you weren’t here, she was meeting them on her own p>
Lord Eldon walked past her to go into the bedroom to check on his mate. Kaylee still lingered close, as if she could not stand being away from Graham for even a moment.
“ I can take care of my work myself,” I replied sharply, so the two of them would just leave me alone.
Whenever Graham took my name, Kaylee’s ears practically perked up. I did not want her attention drifting toward me.
I was moving away when I heard Kaylee speak in a low voice.
“You don’t need to teach her and try to spend time with her again and again,” she said, her tone hardening. “She can handle things herself. She isn’t that innocent either. ”
Right after that, I heard a pained sound.
I turned back and saw Graham glaring at her while rubbing his arm. I understood immediately that she had punched him harder than necessary. 1
I knew a few light hits would not do anything to him. Still, wrong was wrong.
Raising your hand at anyone was wrong. But it was their personal matter, and I was not going to say anything.
Then I checked the patients one by one. Their mothers gave me heartfelt blessings.
After that, the medicines ran out. There were no other patients at the moment either.

The others would probably come later, after a few days.
“Thank you so much,” Lord Eldon said as he walked with me toward the main gate. “You should have stayed. We had prepared dinner p>
Kaylee was still with Graham. She would not leave his side anywhere.
That was good. The more she kept him busy, the more he would leave me alone.
“No, it’s all right. I have to go back home,” I stated in my most professional voice.
“I hope the children are fine. I hope the parents understand that other families will now be looking for the medicine as well. But I will return with more for this pack,” I mumbled, gently pulling my children closer.
“And my kids are tired too, so I have to go,” I added in a soft voice, turning to my children, who looked ready to fall asleep the moment they sat in the cab.
“Why do you need to go in a cab? It’s pretty late,” Graham finally spoke up. He had been standing there quietly, showing his irritation by glancing around.
“I’ll be fine. Cabs are much safer,” I replied. That was my way of saying I would feel safer in a cab than with him.
“Graham is right,” Lord Eldon began, taking a steady breath as he tried to reason with me. “I know you are being stubborn right now, and you have every right to be after what happened.” he paused briefly.
“It’s late to travel from one pack to another. There are many rogue communities in between,” he continued, his expression turning serious. “Yuvonne was accused in the middle of all this, and people thought she had done it deliberately. But the truth came out in the end. She had only ordered the theft.” he reminded me of what was circulating online.
People were finally showing sympathy for Yuvonne.
“These rogues are different,” he went on. “Their intentions are not clean. They want something else from a human, from a girl. So think about it. I suggest Graham drop you safely instead of trusting a random cab driver p>
I shook my head and refused all his requests. I knew that was not true.
A cab driver would still be more trustworthy than Graham.
“Fine,” Graham answered, sounding annoyed as he folded his arms across his chest. “You go in one car, and one of ours will follow behind. I’ll come in another vehicle. Warriors can be present too. And if you want, you can record the entire interaction p>
The way he spoke made it seem like I was wrong for being paranoid. 1
“Look at the acting,” Kaylee muttered under her breath. “As if they’ve never spoken before p>
Her comment reached my ears, but I ignored it.
