460 Lester
Selma Payne’s POV:
Lester keenly felt the change in the Evaria Family’s attitude. Coupled with the fact that the baby was being kept a secret, he realized that if he did not leave now, he would be stuck in this huge fire pit forever.
So, he imdiately forsook the dark and joined the light, using Master Kevin’s way to switch to my camp.
In fact, other than that child, I was also very interested in Lester. There was no need to doubt his professional standards. Although he was a fence-sitter, it didn’t matter much. I didn’t need him to enter the Council of Elders to charge through the enemy lines for .
Tracy would co back sooner or later. The Spring Rain Pack needed an extrely capable and highly respected dical leader to develop an advantageous dical industry.
Moreover, I urgently need to expand my network in the dical field. Although my identity as a Princess could make countless dical scholars flock to for various reasons, this couldn’t guarantee my confidentiality. I needed soone I could trust to treat Aldrich. No matter the price, I was willing to pay.
Lester was very slick. He didn’t ntion anything about investnt or research at all. He answered all my questions as if he was here to give a private dical lecture.
We chatted for a while. I was worried about my child, so I was going to take him to the ICU ward.
“You know, I’m different from the Evaria Family. Once you’re on my ship, you won’t have the possibility of getting off,” I said.
“I believe that the werewolf pack won’t have a stronger and steadier ship than yours. As for the Evaria Family or anyone else, perhaps I can’t predict their ending, but from my observation, no matter how gorgeous the disguise is, a small boat can’t ride the wind and waves in the storm.”
“Now, I have a patient that I need you to see. This is a patient who is completely confidential to the outside world. I hope you can abide by the rules of silence. No matter what you see, pretend not to see it after you leave the ward.”
Faced with my serious attitude, Lester’s attitude changed, but he still said, “As you wish, Your Highness.”
I looked at Master Kevin, and he nodded.
My child’s ward was far away from the heart of the palace’s chaos. It was initially a secret garden built by a king over 200 years ago for his youngest daughter. After a hundred years of loneliness, the peaceful atmosphere was finally broken by the cold hum of dical equipnt.
The doctors on duty were doing their routine checks. When they saw , they all stood up and saluted.
I introduced Lester to them. “This is Professor Lester, a geneticist. He might be your colleague in the future.”
Lester did not react to the word ‘might’ and warmly greeted his possible ‘future’ colleagues.
I didn’t see my mother. A nurse told that she was exhausted, and after getting so dical advice, she finally agreed to go to the adjoining room to rest for a while.
I heaved a sigh of relief. My mother’s desire to protect my child had reached a level I couldn’t bear to watch. If she were here, she probably wouldn’t trust Lester so quickly to let him treat my child.
The mont his gaze penetrated the glass window, Lester’s expression changed. Under my cold gaze, he smiled bitterly. “Alright, Your Highness. I swear in the goddess’s na that I will keep everything that happens in this ward a secret.”
“The little wolf is different from ordinary children when he was born. I think it’s because of so... maternal genes. This is a secret, I can’t tell you yet. In short, the wolf cub had no gender, and its physiological structure was completely different from that of an ordinary baby. I don’t expect you to find a way to treat him imdiately, but please give so good news for the sake of an anxious mother.”
In the end, I heard my voice gradually beco ethereal, and the wet and hot feeling filled my eyes again.
“... I’ll try my best, Your Highness.”
Lester went to make the preparations. Master Kevin was standing beside now.
“I think the child is almost at its limit.” I heard myself say coldly. “It’s been too long. From the mont she was born, this child might have been suffering. It’s because we, the useless adults, didn’t realize it, so everything accumulated and exploded like a volcano.”
Master Kevin didn’t say anything, and I didn’t need anyone to agree with .
“I don’t know if I should continue... There is no other way. He is just hanging on to his life in vain. This might only make the child suffer more. But should I just give up? Shouldn’t I wait for a miracle to happen? But will the outco be better if we continue to wait?”
Silence, a suffocating silence.
With my numbness, I could sense everything in the ICU, from the instrunt’s operation and the airflow from the exhaust to the weak breathing of my child.
Master Kevin moved and seed to hesitate, but he still said, “Your Highness, there are so things I don’t know if I should say.”
“Speak. It’s fine.”
“Then... Don’t you think the Young Prince’s current situation is sowhat familiar? It’s as if you’ve experienced it before?”
