456 Acute Illness
Selma Payne’s POV:
‘You had so many ideas, didn’t you? An orphanage supported by the royal family and countless families eager to have a child, there were many ways to achieve the best of both worlds. Why let your conscience be tortured for a lifeti?’
However, the part that belonged to Madeline said, ‘Don’t be na?ve. You know how worried the Evaria Family is about this precious baby. Unless they found a corpse, they would not give up on finding this hard-won bargaining chip.’
‘No matter where he goes, there would be traces. Who could guarantee that the child would leave the power struggle stage forever? If the Evaria Family found him, what would you do? Won’t I still have to walk the path of silencing people?’
Both sides argued endlessly in my mind, their soft-heartedness and viciousness taking turns to attack my weak ntal defense. What should I do? Leave one person alive or cut the weeds and eliminate the roots? It was just a child, a tiny unborn fetus! However, it was still a spark, a fuse that could cause a war the mont it was born!
Let him live?
End his life?
I could feel Master Kevin’s strong realization falling on . He rarely had such a mont of rudeness, but I believed he had already seen through my cowardice, chaos, and avoidance.
“Your Highness, you know how cautious the Evaria Family is. They won’t allow pregnant won and babies to leave their territory for too long.” He gently placed his chips on the scale in my heart. “The rejection of a pregnant woman is not so serious that it is incurable. At most, in three days, the Evaria Family will be able to bring her back healthy. By then, we will not be able to implent any of our ideas.”
“I know...” When the ethereal voice entered my ears, I realized that I had started to tremble. “You can go back first. Let think, let think...”
Master Kevin said nothing more and left respectfully.
At this mont, a baby with a blurry face suddenly ca to mind. His entire body was red and wrinkly like a little monkey. His cries were soft, and he tried to attract the adults’ love.
A premature infant, a weak but healthy premature infant. One could imagine that if he were given eighteen years, he would grow into a tall and handso young man. He could take on the responsibility with his broad shoulders and leave a colorful mark on the world.
But suddenly, the baby’s cries beca agitated, his chest twitched rapidly, and he made a gurgling sound from his throat. His four limbs began to flap around, and his cries gradually beca shrill because this chaotic and ignorant baby could also feel the pressure of approaching death. Survival was the basic Instinct of all living creatures.
“No... No... ” At this mont, it was as if my senses were connected to the baby. His pain was my pain, and his struggle was my struggle. I couldn’t help but reach out to touch the child struggling to survive, but when my fingertips touched his skin, all the illusions disappeared.
“Ah!”
I suddenly stood up, and my cold sweat dripped onto the silk lace around my collar. The cold and wet fabric stuck to my skin, making my hair stand on end.
What was that?
My fantasy? Was I hallucinating?
That scene was too real. It was not just a fantasy in my mind. It was as if the child was lying on the pillow beside just now. It was extrely real.
As I was bewildered, Bertha suddenly ran in hurriedly and said anxiously, “Your Highness, the Little Prince suddenly started crying and wouldn’t stop. Please go and take a look!”
What?
I couldn’t care about anything else and ran to my child. My little wolf cub’s body was burning hot like a piece of iron. He cried sharply; every cry was like a sharp blade stabbing my heart.
I imdiately beca a mother at a loss. I could only hold him up and comfort him softly. However, releasing my breath to comfort him, which was effective for ordinary babies, did not work on my child. He was still crying sharply, and I could not find any reason for his sudden high fever.
“Make way. Please make way!” A man with soft flesh on his cheeks squeezed into the room with great difficulty and hurriedly drove out all the irrelevant people. “Don’t allow so many people to gather around. His Highness needs fresh air!”
Since Tracy was in the Spring Rain Pack, the current acting royal physician was her disciple, Craig. It was a middle-aged man with a baby face. Even though he looked like an intern, he had worked at Central Hospital for many years, and Tracy had always praised him as her disciple.
He did a complete examination on the wolf cub, and before the blood test results ca out, he told seriously, “Although the test results will have to wait, I have to tell you the worst outco, Your Highness.
“The Little Prince’s physiological structure differs from that of an ordinary baby. In my examination just now, I found that the Little Prince’s bones and muscles have undergone a certain degree of displacent, which is still ongoing. There are even so symptoms of dissolution.
“There’s no precedent, so we can’t judge whether this situation will continue. But even if it stops in the current situation, it’s very likely for the Little Prince to... It’s more likely than not.”
