I was ready to fire back, but my mum didn’t give me the chance. “Right now, the priority is your father’s condition…” she cut me off.
Hearing her words, I had no option but to let it go, resolving to have a proper discussion with her once this issue was behind us.
“Don’t worry about Dad’s leg. I’ve secured the best specialist. Once the surgery is done, we’ll return home.”
Her face was tense as she gazed at my father lying in the hospital bed, her worry etched clearly in her expression.
“I just hope he can recover soon,” she murmured. “Then I can finally relax, and my restless wolf can settle down.”
My parents share a mate bond, and as their connection grows stronger, their wolves seem to be deeply intertwined.
It makes me wonder–will Hayley and I have this kind of relationship someday?
Hayley’s POV:
Once the results were released, I submitted my application to New College.
Surprisingly, Henry, noticing my choice, decided to apply to the same university as well.
“Boss, it’s awesome that we’ll be at the same school!” he exclaimed, hugging me with excitement after receiving his acceptance email.
I returned his enthusiasm with a smile. “Congrats! You made it into your dream university!”
But then, his gaze lingered on my face, filled with an intensity and strangeness that I couldn’t quite understand.
I was about to ask him what was going on, but he quickly shifted the topic.
“Boss! You wouldn’t believe it–my friends were stunned when they found out I got into New College!”
He grinned with pride. “They’re all impressed now. No one’s saying I relied on my connection with Benjamin, the Alpha of the Midnight Pack, or the Southwells. They’re saying, ‘Henry made it to New College on his own.“”
I gazed at him with admiration, giving his shoulder a firm pat. “You’re incredible!” I said sincerely.
He laughed, a hint of pride in his voice, “I know, I really am.”
As we chatted, the hum of a car pulling up reached our ears.
Henry leaned toward the window, peering out curiously. “Who’s back?” he asked.

Chapter 389 Applied to the Same University
At that moment, Tanner entered the room, his confident strides commanding attention.
He flashed me a smile and said, “Hayley, I heard you got into New College. Congrats!”
I arched a brow and smirked. “You didn’t stop by just to congratulate me, did you?”

Feeling surprise, Tanner widened his eyes before pulling a bank card from his pocket and holding it out to
- me.
“What’s this?” asked, glancing at the card.
“It’s your payment for helping with the wedding dress design last time. The full amount is loaded on this card,” he explained.
I attempted to decline. “You really don’t have to. It was just a small favor–take it back.”
But Tanner wouldn’t hear it and firmly placed the card in my hand.

“You have to accept this,” he said earnestly. “Since the wedding dress you designed dazzled at the Scotts‘ wedding, our studio has been flooded with orders–big ones.
“Your talent breathed new life into my struggling studio. I owe you, and this money is yours by right,” he added, his tone filled with sincerity.
I glanced at the card and finally said, “Alright, thank you. I’ll accept it for now.”
Tanner hesitated for a moment, pressing his lips together before speaking. “Actually, there’s another reason I came to see you today,” he admitted, seeming uncertain about how to proceed.
Sensing his hesitation, I decided to make it easier for him. “Just spit it out! We know each other so well- there’s no need to tiptoe around.”
