Chapter 288 - Saving Her Cursed Lycan Prince

I said all those things hoping that Flora would finally relax. I just didn’t want her to avoid me anymore.

As for the chance to start over, I may not have it now but I would make my way to it in the future.

But even after what I said, Flora seemed to become even colder. “No need to thank me,” she said. “I would have done that for any of my classmates.”

“Why didn’t you visit me even once at the hospital, though?” I couldn’t help but ask that question. I did not buy for a second that she saw me as just a classmate.

Flora rolled her eyes. “I’m not your doctor. Why would I visit you? Besides, we were just pretending to be a couple. We agreed to end the relationship when everything was settled.”

Clenching my fists silently, my heart shattered to hear her speak those heartless words so coldly. How could she not care about this at all?

“Thank you for agreeing to be my pretend boyfriend for a while, but it’s over now. On top of that, I also saved your life. I think I have the right to say that we should have nothing to do with each other anymore.”

“No, I refuse to accept this.” I interrupted Flora. I couldn’t bear to hear her speak about disassociating from me any longer.

But because I was afraid of worsening the situation, I quickly added, “We should get out of here first. Let’s talk about other things later on.”

Flora pursed her lips and didn’t retort. She curtly nodded her head and followed me to find an exit.

Soon enough, we eventually came upon a narrow sewer entrance, but it was completely blocked by mud.

I shrugged and got to work with my hands anyway, tearing the mud from the sewer’s lid.

After a while, we were finally able to crawl out of the sewer.

Flora and I stood still for a short rest before heading to a nearby area to check. We hoped to find Sylvia and the others. But other than the exit we came out of, there was nothing else in sight.

“How about going back to the hole in the wall? Maybe they already got out of the sewer and are waiting for us there by now,” Flora suggested.

I nodded. “Okay.”

Harry’s POV

My body felt too heavy to move.

My limbs felt like they were being pressed into the earth by a boulder.

Even my eyelids seemed too heavy to lift.

It was as if my soul was about to separate from my body while I tried to get up.

My breath grew heavier and harder.

I could only recall that I had gotten swept away by the water current and bumped into something along the way that made me choke, rendering me motionless.

I was practically doomed. As my consciousness slowly drifted away, I vaguely saw a petite figure grab my hand and drag me ashore.

My lungs were filled with water, which made it impossible for me to breathe. I thought I was going to die of suffocation.

Swimming was one of my strengths, but I never expected my own skills to fail me one day.

Just when I thought I was about to die, I felt something soft press on my lips and blow air into my mouth.

My chest rose up, and my eyes shot open.

I saw John’s face up close and was startled. I coughed out violently the water that I had swallowed.

With no expression on her face, John wiped her mouth and watched me.

I hurried to my feet and clutched onto my clothes. “What were you doing?”

But as soon as I heard my voice, I wanted to slap my voice. Why did my manly voice turn squeaky?

John stood up and approached. “You saved me just like that before. What are you so scared of? Now we’re even.”

“No… Bullshit! That was different!” Shivering, I stepped away from her. “Don’t get any closer to me!”

John refused to listen and walked toward me. “What do you mean that was different? We just both saved each other’s lives.”

“Oh, there’s a big difference, alright! For one, I thought you were just a regular guy classmate!” I shouted at her. The image of her lips against mine made me feel uneasy, like ants crawling all over my body.

John finally stopped two steps away from me and chuckled.

This made me even angrier. “How can you laugh? I’m furious! Who would have ever thought that my own roommate was actually a she-wolf and a killer who tried to fucking kill me?!”

That terrible night flashed through my mind again. I opened my eyes one midnight and found a knife to my neck.

If I hadn’t repeatedly promised John to never reveal her true identity and her plan to sneak into the school with an ulterior motive, I would have been long dead.

But now, I didn’t think I was much different from a dead werewolf anyway.

John even forced me to ingest poison that night, saying that she would provide the antidote after she fulfilled her task.

What if she didn’t fulfill her task? I would have died.

From then on, John had watched over me day and night.

I felt that I had lost any form of privacy. I couldn’t even eat my fried chicken in secret anymore.

“Do you know how hard it was for me? Do you think I even wanted to know about your secret? If I could just lose that memory by hitting my head against a wall, I would have done that!” I pulled my collar down to show her my heart. “Can’t you just let me go, John? I promise I won’t rat you out. Don’t you know what kind of werewolf I am?”

While I was rambling, John interrupted me.

“Joanna. That’s my real name.”
