At that moment, Tessa had already completely locked down the enemy's communication channels..

"You have thirty minutes." She tossed an address to Ethan. "S doesn't know his location has been exposed yet. But once he realizes he can't reach his team, he'll get suspicious-and most likely try to flee.

"Tessa, I really owe you for this one," Ethan said seriously, taking the address. "I'll treat you to a proper meal next time."

"No need. I'm pretty busy."

"Alright, we'll talk later!" Ethan didn't dare linger and immediately took his team and left.

Once the situation was under control, Tessa stepped outside to call Landon and let him know she was safe.

But before she could dial, Samuel's name flashed across the screen.

"Where are you right now?" Samuel's voice was urgent.

"What's wrong?" Judging by his tone, something serious had happened. What

was going on today? Why was everyone acting so tense?

"Tessa, come to the hospital right now. I have a patient here I can't handle alone-l need you to take a look!" Samuel never said things like that lightly.

"Okay, I'm on my way."

If even a top-ranked S+ doctor like Samuel was stumped, then it had to be something truly critical.

On her way to the hospital, Tessa finally called Landon. He answered immediately, his voice filled with

concern.

"Where are you? I'll come pick you up."

"I'm going to meet Samuel for something. Don't worry-once I'm done, I'll come find you."

She didn't know exactly what was going on with Samuel yet, and couldn't say how long it would take. Medical issues weren't like hacking-they couldn't be solved with speed alone.

"Alright, where are you two? I'll come find you."

"Don't. It's complicated, and I don't know how long this will take."

"I'm here now, I'm going in. Don't worry!" She ended the call before he could respond.

As soon as she reached Samuel's floor, a nurse handed her a set of protective gear.

Her heart sank. That kind of suit-did it mean the illness was contagious?noveldrama

She didn't ask questions. She suited up quickly and went to find Samuel. He was still poring over charts, clearly frustrated. When he saw her, he finally stopped.

"This is the tenth one. All with/identical symptoms. I'm convinced it's something in their systems."

Tessa understood what he meant and immediately went to examine the patients. 13.10 Fri, 1 Aug

Chapter 568 Outbreak

"Did you call Landon yet? You probably won't be going home tonight." He looked worn out. They were all helpless against this virus, which was why he'd called her in.

"Yeah. Now fill me in."

Meanwhile, Landon had already had Nathaniel trace Tessa's location and investigate the situation.

"Alpha, the patients are infected with a virus designed specifically to target the Montedra werewolves. Highly contagious-and potentially lethal..." Nathaniel said grimly. "The victims aren't just common folk- some are senior members of the Montedra Werewolf Council."

Landon's face changed instantly.

This had Yalvaria written all over it.

Recently, Montedra's protective barriers had been repeatedly breached. Major corporations were being sabotaged by foreign powers. Traces of every incident pointed back to Yalvaria. And now, this virus specifically targeted Montedra werewolves-and had dragged Tessa into the fray.

Was Yalvaria trying to start a war?

"I'm going to the hospital." Landon stood and made for the door, his tone brooking no argument.

Nathaniel grabbed his arm. "Alpha, the hospital's under full lockdown! If you go now, you'll only make things harder. With so many council members affected, we need you to keep things stable outside."

"Tessa is in there. So are our people." Landon's voice was ice-cold as he shook Nathaniel off and moved to leave.

"You're the Alpha King of all Montedra packs!" Nathaniel's tone hardened. "Your safety isn't just a personal matter. Tessa has Samuel. The others have the medical team. But out here-without you-if Yalvaria makes a move, Montedra will fall into chaos."

Landon froze mid-step. His hands clenched tight, veins bulging under the skin.

After a long moment, he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they were dark with restrained fury.

"Have the medical team send me real-time updates. Triple the guards at the hospital perimeter."

Nathaniel nodded. It was the only compromise Landon could make-shouldering the crown without abandoning the woman he loved.

Just then, Yardley's name flashed across Landon's phone.

His brows furrowed as he answered, only to hear her choked voice on the other end.

"Mr. Landon, can you reach Tessa? The old man... I don't think he's going to make it!"

Landon's heart sank like a stone.

Why now-why all at once?
