Chapter 74
The news of my pregnancy slowly spread quickly in the Red Moon Pack.
Though it would not require much effort to know about who the culprit of the matter was. I knew exactly
who was behind the rumors spreading like wildfire through the Red Moon pack.
Vanessa surely did not let me leave her in peace and still did what she wanted. I could see the smug All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
expression on her face as she watched the chaos unfold.
On very few times I would go out, I would hear different murmurs about the ‘truth’ about my pregnancy.
“Have you heard?”
“Of what?”
“Apparently Chloe ran back to the pack because she had viciously killed her mate and slept on another
rogue!”
“Now she and the rogue bore a child! She is pregnant right now!”
“Seriously? That Chloe? How promiscuous! She had already been constantly humiliating the pack back
then because of her existence, now she had the nerve to come back with a bastard offspring?!”
“I know right? The former Alpha is so pitiful! How could he have a daughter like that?”
“What are you talking about? I heard that it was hers and her rogue mate’s child, however, she was still
hung up with our great sentinel and is trying to persuade her that the child was his?!”
“Wahahaha was she so delusional? To covet the Alpha’s mate? What kind of brain does she have?!”
Different kinds of insults were thrown at me. As usual even the servants did not even try to tone down
the volume of their voices and even intentionally said those words in a loud tone.
But I kept a straight face and did not pay attention.
They have been talking insults to me for years, how can they hurt me any more than that?
I tried my best to ignore the whispers and gossip, even when the servants would loudly talk about it in
front of me.
What worries me at the moment was my father’s condition, which did not seem to be improving as I
had hoped
I frowned the moment I heard that he was once more showing signs of relapse.
“As expected, my father’s health is still in danger. His condition did not improve at all.” I fiddled with my
nails nervously as I thought of ways on how to help him recover.
And so, amidst the commotion that Vanessa was instigating in the entire pack, I have decided to focus
on researching ways to solve my father’s condition. . I spent every waking moment by his side,
researching and trying new treatments to help him, but no matter what I did, he was not getting better.
While I was walking back to my room to resume my research, I happened to stumble on Vanessa.
It has been days since I saw her face, and she was still as hostile to me as ever.
I heard from the gossip that she was greatly criticized by my father for almost causing me to miscarry.
Surprisingly, father even went as far as saying that he would not accept an Alpha like her who murders
an innocent child, that it was unbecoming behavior for an Alpha like her.
With that, Vanessa was somehow afraid to cause me direct harm, as father said that he would not
hesitate to publicly punish her if she ever did it again.
With that I am partly relieved, at least I know that Vanessa would not act to hurt me… at least directly.
However, her hatred towards me was still not diminished as she looked at me as if her stare would stab
me a thousand times.
“Cheh… Here I was having such a good day only to see someone filthy! Hah! My day has been ruined!”
She growled loudly causing the servants to turn their heads and look in our direction.
I walked past at Vanessa and muttered in a low voice, “Vanessa, you think the lies that you maliciously
spread will work on me? Oh cmon, you are already an alpha so you have to speak with honesty…”
“Y-you!” Vanessa trembled, clearly offended by the mockery in my words.
“Stay put and do your duty as an Alpha. You should thank Alan as well. If it wasn’t that I was giving him
a face because he sincerely begged, I would have long fought you back!”
Not even waiting for Vanessa to retaliate, I walked to my room and locked the door. With that I spent
my day studying the poison in my father’s body once more.
Knock knock!
Suddenly I was interrupted by the knock on the door.
“Come in,” I called out as I looked at the window and realized that it was dinner time already.”
There I saw the servant who used to serve and bully me back then come to my room with a tray of food
in her hand.
However her trembling and feverish expression caught my eye as she tried hard not to stumble and
waste the food on the tray.
She was almost staggering however, she was biting her lower lips desperately to keep her
consciousness awake.
“You are sick…” I told her simply as I watched her place the food on the table with her head lowered.
“Why are you not going to the pack doctor and asking for medicine?”
As soon as I asked, the servant’s body froze, however, her read remained lower and said
straightforwardly, “You should already know. I am a servant.”
Her words were already enough as an answer. After all, even if she treated me slowly, she was still a
servant.
Her status in the pack is the lowest of low, and she as a servant does not have any privilege of coming
to the pack doctor to be healed.
I looked at her and the pale complexion that she had. Without thinking much, I stood up and walked at
her side, touching her head slightly and immediately felt the abnormally high temperature on her body.
Her purplish nails and hoarse voice were already showing great warning signs. If her temperature is not
controlled, she would convulse and suffer a seizure which could be fatal.
“Chloe!!” The servant shouted and cowered in the corner, clearly fearful.
At the moment, she was just a sick person without any strength to retaliate, so all she could do was to
crouch in a corner and look at me with fear.
“Why are you acting like that? You think I am like you who enjoys bullying the weak?” I looked at her
coldly and could not help but spite her for her actions.
The servant flinched and looked at her guiltily, but she no longer answered. Her expression already
said it all and exposed her thoughts.
I suddenly wanted to tease her because of that. I knew for a fact that she had been bullying me
because Vanessa said so.
“I don’t care what you think, but I am ordering you to not move…” I smiled and reached out my hand.
She shivered and raised her hand to cover her head as she shouted, “N–no… please… I’m sorry
Chloe… I’m sorry for all the times I bullied you back then!”
I looked at her, without changing my expression and said, “Didn’t I tell you just now not to resist or
else…”
“I would really retaliate!”
