Chapter 72


    When I woke up, I found myself lying on the bed once again.


    My body felt heavy and weak but as soon as I remembered what happened, my mind suddenly turned


    nk and an overwhelming fear engulfed me.


    "N-no..." my lips trembled as I hurriedly grabbed my belly.


    "Doctor!" I scrambled to look at the pack doctor and ask about my child’s condition.


    “D-doctor, how is my c-child?” My voice trembled. I looked at her fearfully and desperately asked.


    “Don’t worry, the child is fine Chloe," the doctor saw through my condition and instantly answered.


    "But you must still be careful. At all times, you must always take a good rest and watch your


    surroundings. Be careful so that you can protect your unborn child,” the pack doctor said. Then, she


    carefully exined a lot of things about taking care of my pregnant body. She also reminded me of


    what else to avoid and do to keep my child away from harm.


    After a couple minutes of talking, the pack doctor finallg left the room. Before going she emphasized for


    me to rest.


    I stared at the window in a daze, as I caressed my womb gently.


    “My baby, sorry… I was not able to protect you…” I softly whispered. I knew that my child could not


    possibly hear me. But still, I poured out the feelings that I had, hoping that somehow, my child could


    feel the emotions that I was feeling and understood what I wanted to say.


    “In the future, mommy will be more attentive and protect you better." My eyes turned warm as I gently


    promised.


    “I will make sure that you will grow to have a happy and peaceful life… and that you will not suffer what


    I have suffered before," I softly muttered.


    As if I was caressing the body of child, my most precious treasure, I continued to caress my womb as I


    looked at the window in a daze once more.


    It seemed like I have to rethink my ns if I want my child to remain safe.


    The next moment, there was a knock on the door. I was startled. But gripping my hands tight, I


    straightened my back before opening my mouth to talk.


    “Come in!” I called, only to see n entering with aplicated and guilty look on his face.


    “Chloe…” He called awkwardly. “How’s the child in your womb?” My eyes shed before I looked away


    and faced the window once more.


    “The child is fine, fortunately.” I answered straightforwardly without any intention to sugar coat my


    words.


    n opened his mouth but did not say anything. Instead, he sighed. Then, he looked at me and said, “I


    apologize because I did not stop Vanessa from creating amotion. Also, I want to apologize on her


    behalf as well…”


    Hw wanted to continue but I cut him off. “You had no obligation to apologize to Vanessa.” I looked at


    n and said calmly.


    n knew what I meant so he did not pursue the matter any further. Instead, he sat on the bedside


    chair and asked, “Did ke know about your pregnancy with his child?”


    I was startled by n’s question and could not help but look at him.


    “How do you know that ke was the father?”


    “Well,,,” n took a deep breath and started to exin.


    “From the moment the Lycan King of the Silver Pack entered the Red Moon Pack back then, I already


    recognized you and ke. And so I have always known where you have been…”


    When n mentioned those words, the realization hit me suddenly.


    No wonder, n acted strangely every time he encountered me back then. It turned out that he already


    knew about my identity.


    “Chloe… before… the things I did to you… I am really sorry...” n suddenly continued. "That time...


    I...I-" he started to say


    but I interrupted him.


    "No," I simply said before shaking my head. To me the past was no longer a thing for me to think about,


    not because it was unimportant, but because I chose not to mind it. After all,


    I have Aurora’s detoxification and now my child to think about.


    As for the other things, I could only throw them aside and no longer waste my energy in it.


    “I only wish for you to keep the matter of my pregnancy from ke.” I looked at him and demanded.


    “Is it because of your poison?” n asked to which I nod.


    Without waiting for me to ask, he started to exin some things as to why he knew about the matter.


    It turned out that ke hade to find father during that time he went out to find a cure to my poison.


    At the same time, n also met with ke.


    “After meeting the former Alpha, I met ke and took out the future rtionship of the two packs.”


    “From the very moment I recognized the two of you, I know that one day you will suddenly go back to


    get revenge on all the people who made you suffer here in the pack. Although I could not me you for


    that, as the sentry of this pack, I cannot just leave it and do nothing.”


    “So I tried talking it out to ke, leveraging the fact that the Red moon Pack is still your home pack.


    But… he was firm in his decision.” n said this with his hands clenched together.


    In his tone and actions he seemed to be fearing the inevitable.


    “So since you have not convinced ke, you are asking me?” I realized the true meaning of his words


    and exposed it in the open.


    Embarrassed, he nodded awkwardly and replied, “I just hope that you and ke would let Lisa and


    Vanessa go. However, he tantly refused and as you said, I could only go to you…”


    “Only if you let go of the old sins of ours will ke leave the Red Moon Pack alone.”


    “Hah… I did not expect that you would love Vanessa this much when I only see the two of you argue


    every time I see you two together.” I smiled and answered.


    “But too bad, I no longer wanted to be connected to ke. Consequently I do not want to pursue the


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    matter of my poisoning anymore…”


    “So as long as Vanessa does not try to hurt me or the child, I would not mind.”


    “Just make sure to keep Vanessa away from me and not bring troubles!”


    As if n received a great pardon, he thanked me sincerely as he left the room.


    After that I was left alone in the room, once more.


    This time, ke’s name was repeatedly mentioned and my heart could not help but beat heavily.


    I was starting to miss ke.


    “Maybe he did not even expect that I woulde back to the Red Moon Pack…”


    “Of all the possible ces I could have run off to, he will probably not think that I would be running back


    here to the ce where I suffered the most.” I muttered to myself.


    “Sigh…” I looked at the window once more and could not help but mumble once more.


    “ke…”


    “I wonder how he is at the moment?”


    “How would he react when he discovered that I came back to this ce?”
