    Erwin looked at Maisie. “Hernandez probably thought the same. If he knew that Ms. Marina had a


    daughter, he would have taken you back. Hernandez isn’t dumb. He knows that the lefties may use you


    because of this rtionship.”


    Maisie looked surprised, but she remembered what Hernandez had told her.


    “You’re Marina’s daughter, so I won’ty a hand on you even if I’m going to get revenge on the


    Goldmanns. However, I’m not sure about the others.”


    The others that he meant were the lefties.


    Something shed across her mind after she was quiet for a while, and she looked straight at Erwin.”


    There’s one more thing.”


    Erwin looked curious, but he saw her calmly ask, “Was my mother’s infection rted to the virus?”


    The air in the room froze.


    After a long time, Erwin lowered his face and quietly said, “Yes.”


    He looked out the window. “Her infection was due to a rare sleeper virus that was rted to the epidemic


    from 30 years ago. Your mother was one of the infected.” “The epidemic 30 years ago?” Maisie mumbled


    because she had seen the report on the posters and started suspecting.


    Erwin knew there was no way for him to hide this from her any longer since she was now a target. As


    long as she was still in Stoslo, those people would have a chance to attack.


    “Your mother was a volunteer. There were hundreds of infected in Zena at that time, and that wasn’t the


    first outbreak. Other than the outbreak from the princess Incident, the outbreak from 30 years ago was


    the second one.


    She was shocked. “The princess was-”


    Erwin nodded. “Do you think the royals would tell the world that the princess passed because of a virus?”


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    Obviously not.


    The princess had been infected, so the royals imed that she died due to sickness.


    Maisie was quiet. Even though she hadn’t been born yet at that time, they learned about these historical


    events in school. The epidemic that had broken out when the princess was around was worse than the


    one from 30 years ago. Almost half the poption of Stoslo had been wiped out. More than 390,000


    people had died! There would have been a riot if the royals had announced the real cause of the


    princess’ death.


    Theter epidemic had infected more than 1,000 people. Some people had received really good


    treatments, and only a dozen died.


    Based on what the people were saying, the epidemic 3 years ago had been controlled because a


    vine was found. During the princess’ time, the outbreak had been due to theck of a vine.


    “If there was a vine, then why would my mother-”


    “The vine could only control but not cure,” Erwin cut her off. “The sleeper virus wouldn’t show


    symptoms at the early stages of the infection, just like rabies. They both have an incubation period of up


    to a year. If the infected were able to get a vine in the first few months, it could be under control, and


    they would possibly recover.”


    “So my mother…” Maisie paused.


    Erwin answered calmly, “Your mother realized that she was infected a year after the epidemic. She went


    to Morwich because Strix was the only one who had a solution. If she hadn’t headed to Morwich, she


    wouldn’t have survived long enough to give birth to you. Strix had always been keeping the virus under


    control and even developed an antibody serum.”
