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 blank 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 explained 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 plans 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 Alan entering with a complicated and guilty look on his face.

“Chloe...” He called awkwardly. “How's the child in your womb?” My eyes flashed 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.

Alan 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 a commotion. 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 Alan and said calmly.

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

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

I was startled by Alan's question and could not help but look at him.

"How do you know that Blake was the father?”

“Well,” Alan took a deep breath and started to explain.

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

already recognized you and Blake. And so I have always known where you have been...”

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

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

already knew about my identity.

“Chloe... before... the things 1 did to you... I am really sorry...” Alan suddenly continued. "That time...

l.1-" 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 Blake.” I looked at him and

demanded.

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

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

matter.

It turned out that Blake had come to find father during that time he went out to find a cure to my

poison.

At the same time, Alan also met with Blake.

"After meeting the former Alpha, I met Blake and took out the future relationship 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 blame

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

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

But... he was firm in his decision.” Alan 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 Blake, 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 Blake would let Lisa and

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

"Only if you let go of the old sins of ours will Blake 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 Blake. Consequently I do not want to pursue

the 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 Alan 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, Blake's name was repeatedly mentioned and my heart could not help but beat heavily.

I was starting to miss Blake.

“Maybe he did not even expect that I would come back to the Red Moon Pack...”

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

back here to the place 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.

“Blake...”

“I wonder how he is at the moment?”

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