Cole gently placed the body on the ground on the riverbank. He came back to the place where he had spent over a decade and more with Oliver while 'growing up' in the wolf's body. This was the only place he could think of coming back to at this moment.
Since Cole was busy running around, he had forgotten about coming back here merely for one reason. He didn't want to be reminded of his past few years spent in peace. Those memories were the most painful for him, especially after taking revenge on Oliver.
Now that his revenge story had transformed into such a drama, Cole's heart had been smashed into pieces already. He didn't think he could feel loved again in his life.
At this time, he didn't even think a small apology was enough. He could just pretend to be the same little wolf again and tend to Oliver's wounds.
He carefully dressed Oliver with trembling hands and threw away those tattered robes. He even used wet clothes to wipe the man's body and clean the wounds.
Ah, I'm constantly listening to One Flower, One Sword while writing this novel. I'm obsessed with it. I want to read TGCF again! If you want, you can also listen to it while reading.
