Babel Novel
Chapter 443
Adrian took a gulp of his drink and muttered,
“That old man truly has a vision.”
Patric swallowed as he spoke again. “And he said you should protect Hazel from Natalia.”
Adrian’s grip around the glass tightened. His eyes darkened. Patric looked away from him and said,
“I was shocked when I heard that. He said you should let Natalia fight her own battle. It is her war to fight, not yours. But she should not hurt Hazel.”
Adrian relaxed his tightly held grip, as though attempting to calm himself.
“He had no idea what was going on with you when I asked him about it. He said there is no way that anyone can do something on Alpha Adrian.”
Adrian’s keen eyes were concentrating on something. Patric glanced at him and muttered,
“He said the man who broke his years–long spell with just a growl can’t be possessed by another witch or wizard.”
Patric waited for him to respond. He could see Adrian did not look like how he last saw him. He appeared carefree, as if he did not have much to worry about.
“Don’t you think Gamma Benjamin is getting too close to your Luna these days?” Adrian muttered.
Patric frowned at him, tilting his head to look outside. He noticed Natalia speaking with Benjamin about something. Her hand was holding his arm. He was talking to her without lowering his head, looking her in the eyes.
Patric looked at Adrian in disbelief. “Bro, I was talking to you about a serious matter, and you are here keeping your eye on your wife from afar? Are you for real? For the last two weeks in the Black Haw Pack, you were terrified to death. How is it that you are so at ease right now?”
Adrian chugged down the wine and placed the glass on the frame of the window. He looked at Patric and raised an eyebrow. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“I was scared for her and my children’s safety. Now I am back. Who will dare to look at them?”
Adrian moved over his desk and sat behind the desk. Patric approached a chair and took a seat.
“I asked about the child. Qadir said-”
“Is he a doctor?” Adrian interrupted him.
“Bro, he has the vision to see things that we can’t see. Last time you went to him before the war.”
“What did he say? That the child is mine?” Adrian asked, glaring at Patric,
Patric lowered his head, not knowing how Adrian would react. But he would have to let him know.
I guess that is what he said.”
Adrian stared at Patric for a moment before chuckling. He shook his head and said,

“You went to the wrong person this time, Patric.”
Patric lifted his gaze to look at him. “What do you mean?”
Adrian looked into his eyes, which had turned glowing brown. Patric blinked, concerned that he was losing his mind.
But Adrian did not move and did not look like he was in pain. However, he had anger in his eyes.
“Now he will tell me if the child is mine? Does he think I am stupid?”
Patric was baffled. “D–Do you discover the truth? Is that not your child?”
Adrian grinned at him. “Don’t you trust your Alpha?”
“I do. But that day you were in her bed, and when everyone reached, they caught you and her in the room…
Patric paused as a flashback to that day played through his mind.
He pushed the memories away and turned his gaze back to Adrian. “When I asked Qadir about the child, he confirmed that she is indeed carrying Alpha blood.”
Adrian smirked when he heard that.
“Remind him that Alpha Adrian is not a fool. By giving a twisted answer to my Beta, he wants me to protect that witch.”
