But there lay Harlan, unmoving on the ground.

The weapon Luis employed was no ordinary firearm. Wounds caused by silver bullets were unable to heal. The guards had all met their end because of silver bullets when they tried to hunt Tom from the Silver Ridge Pack.
Would Harlan meet the same grim fate?
“Doctor! Here!” I cried out, jumping to my feet to assess Harlan’s condition. My trembling hands betrayed the turmoil within.

Harlan stopped me.
“Zoe, hold on. I’m fine,” he said, his face oddly alight with vitality.
In an instant, my face turned pale, terror engulfing me.
A vivid memory resurfaced-an elder senior lost in a tragic car accident. Other bleeding colleagues were sent to the intensive care unit following the car crash, while he appeared untouched, but it was a fleeting illusion.
Despite the absence of visible wounds, he passed away within minutes.
The lesson lingered-those who seemed hale on the surface often hid the gravest perils. Time was of the essence; once the window for treatment closed, survival became an insurmountable challenge.

Summoning every ounce of courage and strength, I took charge, carrying Harlan on my back. I was determined to get aid myself.
“Harlan, you must hold on!” I said with stern resolve. “Harlan, you’ll endure this! I won’t let you slip by on our first reunion.
Even if it means sacrificing my all, you will not die!”

Harlan saw my tear-streaked face, and the tension in his features softened.
He extended a hand to brush away my tears, his words tender. “Zoe, I’ve known you for so long, yet this is the first time I’ve seen you shed tears.”
Turning my head, I mumbled softly, “You’ve known me for ages, yet you vanished without a trace.”
“Zoe, I’m truly sorry,” Harlan, typically carefree and bumbling, confessed, his guilt plain. “I’ve kept my distance because my circumstances have forced me to deceive you countless times. Each time, it wounded you deeply, and I couldn’t bear to confront you.”
The puzzle pieces fell into place.
And with those words, the knot in my heart was untied.
I had always assumed Harlan had no interest in me. He was so easygoing and free because he just treated me like any other friend.
