Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

461 Another Way

Selma Payne’s POV:

“Familiar?”

“Yes, please think about your experience in the Snowy Mountains, the strange giant pine tree, the demon fragments, and what made you... The cocoon that is reborn from the fire.”

Master Kevin adjusted his glasses that had slid down his nose, and his voice was as calm as ever.

“I don’t know what you experienced in that cocoon, but from its appearance, it was extremely similar to a moth’s cocoon. “We all know that in order for a larva to transform into a moth, it must go through the process of dissolving and reconstructing its entire body before it can undergo ascendance. Now, it seems that your situation is very similar.”

Dissolve and reconstruct ...

Most of the things were just as Master Kevin said. I lost my physical body in that strange cocoon, and then I used the power of the demonic shard to reconstruct a new body, and then I got New Flow.

Could my child be experiencing the changes I’d experienced?

This thought gave me some hope for no reason. At least my child wouldn’t die.

Master Kevin continued, “Now it seems the Little Prince’s situation is like a moth larva about to spin a cocoon. The gradually dissolving muscles and bones may not be a strange disease. It’s just an inevitable process that must be experienced to be reborn from the fire. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. I have no basis for it. Please consider it carefully.”

I chose to ignore the last part of Master Kevin’s sentence.

My wolf cub, my child, might not be on the verge of death as we thought. On the contrary, this was a new journey of breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly. It was just that we were too concerned about it and ignored such an obvious clue, which in turn allowed useless factors to drag this progress.

Various infusion bags were hanging on the metal frame, on which various drugs were used to maintain nutrition and prevent muscle dissolution. So far, they had been somewhat effective. My child’s self-dissolving speed had indeed slowed down. Ten minutes ago, I was still happy about this. Now, I knew that I had to do something.

“How is my mother?” I asked Kara.

“The Queen is still asleep,” Kara said softly. “She has been exhausted these days.”

“That’s good,” I said in a soft voice. “Keep an eye on my mother and tell the servants to be quiet. Don’t wake her up.”

“Are you going to... ” Kara looked at me hesitantly.

I didn’t answer. I waved my hand gently, indicating for her to leave.

At this time, Lester returned. He had a general understanding of my child’s condition and said with regret, “I’m very sorry, Your Highness. With my meager power, it’s really difficult for me to help solve this difficult and complicated illness.”

I looked at him steadily and finally evaluated Lester’s ability and credibility.

My child’s condition would be recorded, but to keep my bloodline a secret, the medical record must not exceed the scope of the medical field. So, I needed someone completely trustworthy, capable, and under my control to lead this matter, and Lester was the best option right now.

All of his information was already on my desk. This slick and sly medical scientist wasn’t evil. In fact, even his resume didn’t match his sly character, which was honed over a long time. He was a ‘bookworm’ who yearned for knowledge. His character was the polar opposite of Master Kevin’s, but they were the same kind of people inside.

In the end, I chose to believe in him. There was no time to find a more suitable candidate than Lester.

Thus, I temporarily dismissed all the medical staff and announced my plan.

“I’ve decided to give up on all treatment for the wolf cub. I believe everyone can see that neither medicine nor witchcraft is of any help to my child.”

I said this, but my heart trembled because I didn’t know if my decision could be trusted. Would it bring happiness to everyone, or would it cost a life?

“Now, remove all life-support equipment and no longer provide medicinal assistance to the wolf cub. These things will only slow him down and will not help him in any way. From today on, this ward will become a secret forbidden area. No one can enter except for the three of us and those with my authorization.

“And your mission, my dear grandmasters, is to record every change in the wolf cub. The records have to be written in two copies. One will be based on the actual situation and write whatever is available. The other will be for others to see. This record will not deviate from the framework of medicine. Anything that science cannot explain should be covered with a layer of medical science.”

Looking at the weak little wolf cub through the glass window, I muttered, “After all, we don’t know how many more times this kind of thing will happen. It’s better to have some reference records.”

With my words, compared to Master Kevin’s calmness, Lester was slightly flustered. He realized I was serious, so he couldn’t even maintain the optimized disguise on his appearance. “Will this really work? What if... Your Highness...”

“There’s no ‘what if’,” I interrupted him. “This is the last way. I have to try...”
