Love the Wolfless Power Girl at First Sight

Chapter 569 The Last Wish

“Where are you? I’m heading over now.” Landon grabbed his coat and stood up. Tessa was trapped at the hospital–he was the only one who could hold the situation together for now.

“Alpha, where are you going? What happened?” Nathaniel immediately followed after him.

“Mr. Walter’s in trouble.”

Nathaniel’s chest tightened. Of all times–why now? Everything was piling on at once.

Landon drove straight to the Sinclair family estate. Yardley was already waiting at the gate. When he saw Landon arrive alone, his voice shot up. “Where’s Tessa? Grandpa just wants to see her one last time! What could possibly be more important right now?”

Landon didn’t answer and headed straight inside. Louis met him halfway, eyes red. “Mr. Landon, where’s Ms. Tessa? Mr. Walter doesn’t have much time–he’s been holding on just to see her again…”

“Is the doctor still in there?” Landon asked grimly.

“Yes, but… there’s probably no saving him now.” Louis let out a heavy sigh. “He’s old. That day comes for all of us. It’s just… before he goes…”

“Tessa’s caught up in an emergency. She can’t leave yet,” Landon said, voice rough. He knew exactly how much Tessa loved her grandfather. If she had any choice, she’d never miss this.

Winona scoffed nearby. “He loved her the most, and now that he’s dying, she won’t even show her face. Just wait–once Grandpa’s gone, she won’t care about any of us!”

“Shut your mouth.” Landon shot her a look, his voice like ice. Winona immediately fell silent.

He walked to the door of the hospital room and asked the doctor standing guard, “How much longer does. he have?”

“Three days at most,” the doctor said, shaking his head. “His organs are failing. Forcing him to hang on will only make the pain worse.”

“Do everything you can to keep him going until she gets here,” Landon ordered firmly. “She’s handling a viral outbreak targeting the werewolves. She can’t leave yet, but she’ll come. I swear she’ll come.”

The doctor hesitated, then nodded. “Understood.”

When Landon stepped into the room, the old man was struggling to keep his eyes open. He scanned the room, but when he didn’t see the person he was hoping for, the light in his eyes dimmed.

Landon walked over and took his frail hand. “Grandpa, hang in there a little longer. Tessa’s caught up with something important. She’ll be here the second she’s done.”

The old man blinked and moved his fingers slightly, as if responding.

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of her.” Landon squeezed his hand gently, voice soft. “No matter what happens from now on, I’ll always be by her side. I won’t let anything happen to her.”

A single tear rolled down the old man’s cheek. He tried to lift his hand to touch Landon’s face, but didn’t

have the strength.

Landon understood. He leaned down so the old man’s fingertips could brush against his cheek.

“She’s stubborn–puts up a front, but she’s soft on the inside,” Landon continued, half promising to the old man, half to himself. “Once she’s finished handling things, I’ll bring her here. You’ve got to hold on until then, okay?”

The old man’s breathing grew shallower, but he forced his eyes to stay open, like he was clinging to his last bit of hope.

After exchanging a few more words, Landon stepped out of the room. Nathaniel was waiting for him outside.

“Alpha, what now?” Nathaniel asked, voice strained with worry as he looked at Landon’s tense profile.

If Tessa came back and missed Walter’s final moments, she’d never forgive herself.

Landon pressed his fingers to his brow and pulled out his phone. “Call the medical team at the hospital. Find out what’s going on over there.”

The call connected quickly. The team lead on the other end sounded exhausted. “Alpha, the doctor is analyzing the virus’s genetic sequence right now. She can’t take any calls. The hospital’s been sealed off by the Werewolf Council’s security team. They say it’s to prevent the virus from spreading–only medical supplies are allowed in. No one is allowed out, and no one’s allowed in.”

Landon’s expression darkened. The council had acted fast. And this lockdown–just happened to trap Tessa inside.
