469 The Hotown I Can’t Return To
Selma Payne’s POV:
It was a sunny day today.
It was as if the weather had suddenly brightened after one’s mood lifted.
With my father’s and my persuasion, my mother finally agreed to move out of the accompanying room.
“The child needs a quiet environnt now,” I said. “I’ve even withdrawn the unnecessary dical staff, leaving only Master Kevin, Professor Lester, and Jeff. I promise you that the child will be safe and sound. If you miss him, you can co to see him at any ti. But you must ensure your health, okay? The child misses his grandmother very much. If you are down because of an illness, the child and we will all be sad.”
Before her beloved grandson, my mother gave in easily.
Other than that, there was one more thing.
Carey ca to through her servant. She said that she had already considered it.
Coming to my guest room again, Carey was still ill at ease, but her anxiety and fear had mostly dissipated.
She handed the docunt, which she had already signed.
“Your offer is very good... It’s more like it’s too generous, I have no reason to refuse.” She said, “There’s only one thing. You said you would give a real estate in my hotown... Can I change that?”
I didn’t ask her for a reason. This sad girl needed soone to respect her secret.
“Of course, you can. Where do you want to go?”
Carey smiled shyly and clenched her hands, not knowing what to do. After a while, she whispered, “Perhaps... The Spring Rain Pack?”
“The Spring Rain Pack?” This was beyond my expectations.
“Yes, I think the Spring Rain Pack is good. Carey seed afraid I would disagree, so she quickly explained, “I’ve heard about the bold and decisive reforms you made in the Spring Rain Pack. Sotis, in the Evaria Family, the housekeepers who care for secretly gossip... I admire what you’ve done. You broke through tradition and turned a poor border town into a new city in just a year. If, if...”
Carey lowered her head in disappointnt. “It would be great if my hotown could be like that, but... It’s not a good place. I don’t have any precious mories there and don’t want to return there.”
She smiled in embarrassnt, looking uglier than crying. “After this child is born, I want to start a new life and cut off my past completely, even if it’s my hotown... If there’s nothing to reminisce about, it can’t be considered ho.”
I agreed to her request. The Spring Rain Pack was under my sphere of influence, so it would be better for to protect Carey from the Evaria Family.
Lester handed Carey’s dical report and said, “Miss Carey’s current physical condition is very good, and the child’s condition is also stable. The expected date of delivery is in the middle of November. During this period, we will do our best to ensure Miss Carey’s and the child’s health.”
“Thank you,” Carey said softly.
I hoped this girl could get rid of the shadow of the past as soon as possible and at least have a good sleep in the palace, so I tried to talk to her about so common topics.
“Are you used to living here? The bad thing about the palace is that it’s too big and empty. If you feel lonely, you can go to the ga room or walk in the garden.”
“I’m living very well,” Carey replied softly. “I can’t live better. The servants are very good people and often chat with to relieve my boredom. I don’t feel bored at all.”
“That’s good.” I was relieved. “You can relax here. I’ve forbidden the Evaria Family from entering the palace. Those b*stards won’t disturb you again, I promise.”
“Thank you, Your Highness. I’ll co out more often to bask in the sun. I heard this is good for the child... and the pregnant woman.”
“Yes, my dear, nothing is more important than health.” I couldn’t help but sigh when I thought of my relatives who had fallen sick one after another in the past few days.
I didn’t ask Carey to stay for lunch. She would be so nervous that she wouldn’t even be able to hold her spoon properly. Seeing her discomfort, I had soone send her back to her residence.
As soon as Carey left, Master Kevin ca.
“Sothing happened to His Highness an hour ago.” He handed a report. “I think you need to take a look.”
Even without looking at the report, I could guess what had happened to the child. These were just like data from a USB drive. As ‘Selma’ and ‘Madeline’ fused, they were naturally transmitted into my brain.
The child had ‘evolved’ into a cocoon, just like a larva that had undergone the initial preparation stage and finally wrapped itself in a soft silk cocoon, officially beginning to move on to the next stage of life.
This ‘cocoon’ wasn’t the sa ‘cocoon’. In fact, it didn’t have any similarities with a cocoon. It was about the size of two ostrich eggs. It was furry and warm to the touch, like the fur of so animal – wolf fur.
The cocoon looked more like an ‘egg’. It lay quietly in the thermal box and trembled slightly as if it was breathing.
In just one night, the child had undergone such rapid changes. I couldn’t help but sigh at the wonders of life.
