Chapter 64 What\u2019s Between You and Luis?<\/p>\n
Peggie\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
When I opened my eyes after surgery, Jorge was standing by my side with a big smile.<\/p>\n
He said excitedly, \u201cPeggie, the operation was a success. From now on, you\u2019re healthy again.\u201d<\/p>\n
I pushed myself up on the bed. \u201cJake\u2026 Where is he?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jorge reached out and supported my waist, helping me sit more comfortably.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe came while you were in surgery. When he heard it went well, he left because of something urgent at work. I\u2019ll let him know you\u2019re awake.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, Jorge. I\u2019ll call him myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
The quiet hospital room filled with the sharp beeps of the ringing tone.<\/p>\n
After a long pause, the line finally connected.<\/p>\n
\u201cJake\u2026 \u201cI softened my voice on purpose.<\/p>\n
His reply was cool, almost distant. \u201cHmm, you\u2019re awake.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy aren\u2019t you here? I thought you\u2019d be the first person I\u2019d see when I opened my eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n
There was a stretch of silence, broken only by the sound of papers shifting on his end. Then he said flatly, \u201cCongratulations. The surgery was a success.\u201d<\/p>\n
My heart sank.<\/p>\n
Something was wrong\u2013terribly wrong. This wasn\u2019t him. Not the man I knew.<\/p>\n
Back when I had nothing more than a fever, he would sit by my bed all night without closing his eyes.<\/p>\n
And now, after such a major heart surgery, he left the moment he heard it was over?<\/p>\n
A wave of uneasiness washed over me. I asked carefully, \u201cJake, will you still come see me like before?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPeggie\u2026\u201d He paused, carrying a distance I had never heard before. \u201cYour surgery went well. I can\u2019t take care of you like I used to.\u201d \u201cWhy?\u201d My voice cracked as tears welled up. \u201cDon\u2019t you feel anything for me? All these years of looking after me\u2013was it just pity?\u201d \u201cNow that you\u2019re healthy, you can live on your own. And I need to be with Deanna.\u201d<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t hold back anymore. I sobbed into the phone, but all I heard was silence.<\/p>\n
After a long pause, his voice came again. \u201cPeggie, you need to rest. I hope you can start a new life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then he hung up.<\/p>\n
I threw my phone hard against the bed. My eyes were burning red as I glared at Jorge. \u201cYou knew all along, didn\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n

Chapter 64 What\u2019s Between You and Luis?<\/p>\n
Jorge stepped closer. \u201cPeggie, you still have me. If you\u2019re willing, I\u2019ll take care of you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not willing!\u201d I yanked the blanket off.<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t give up on Jake!\u201d<\/p>\n
For years, because of me being a half\u2013blood, I felt unworthy of someone as perfect as Jake.<\/p>\n
I only survived on the scraps of his pity.<\/p>\n
But now I was whole. Now I was a strong, healthy werewolf.<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t any less than Deanna.<\/p>\n
In fact, I could be more gentle and loving than her\u2013a hundred times over.<\/p>\n
Jake was just blinded for the moment.<\/p>\n
Once I stood in front of him again, he would realize I was the Omega meant for him. The best choice for his Luna.<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
When I pushed open my office door, a familiar scent hit me first.<\/p>\n
Philip\u2019s scent.<\/p>\n
I looked up. Sure enough, he was sitting on the couch with the day\u2019s newspaper. He lifted his eyes casually after I walked in.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad? What are you doing here?\u201d<\/p>\n

Philip set down the paper, smiling warmly. \u201cDeanna, the investment from Mooncrown Pack just came in. You handled that fast.\u201d<\/p>\n
This old fox. He never came just to compliment me.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust say what you came for,\u201d I said evenly. \u201cI got shares in it too. I was only doing my part.\u201d<\/p>\n
Philip\u2019s smile widened. He rose and stepped toward me. \u201cI didn\u2019t raise you for nothing. That\u2019s my daughter\u2013smart, knowing what to do, and understanding the big picture.\u201d<\/p>\n
He paused, then his real reason slipped out.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I still have to ask. You and Luis\u2013what exactly is going on between you two?\u201d<\/p>\n
