Chapter 70
I did not know how long I was unconscious but when I woke up, the first people I saw were my father
and the pack’s doctor. Blinking twice, it took me a few minutes to realize what happened.
‘I fainted?’ I thought, feeling confused.
“Doctor… she’s awake.” Father, who was sitting right next to me, was the first to notice that I woke up
and anxiously informed the doctor of my condition.
The doctor hurriedly checked my condition. After a few minutes, the pack doctor confirmed that I was
alright before leaving the room respectfully. I was in a daze for a moment and was initially unable to
remember what happened.
But when I looked at my Father’s worried expression, I finally remembered that I was in the midst of
administering the antidote when I suddenly blacked out.
“Father… the medicine… have you taken it?'' I asked him anxiously and frowned in pain when I felt my
throat quite dry.
“D-did it work?” I continued as the worry in me overpowered my condition.
Father, for the first time, held my hand lovingly as he told me in a comforting voice, “I am fine. The
antidote you made worked and you no longer have to worry.”
A deep sense of relief filled me. “T-thank goodness…” I muttered softly. However, I still remained
feeling skeptical. The memory of my father being weak and bedridden scared me a lot. Biting my lower
lip, I insisted on asking him a few questions.
“But how are you feeling? Did the pain subside?”
Father looked at me with gentle eyes. “I’m feeling better, Chloe,” he simply answered as I carefully
observed him.
Only when I saw that his breathing seemed more stable and his heartbeat stronger was I able to
ensure that he was indeed fine. Only then did I relax and sigh in relief.
“Chloe… about your fainting…” This time, it was my father's turn to tell me something.
He looked at me with a complicated look in his eyes, partly worried, partly hesitant, however I could
detect a hint of joy in his eyes, much to my confusion. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“What is it father?” I asked, clearly not understanding what his expression meant.
His big rough hands caressed my hand gently as he said, “Chloe… when you fainted, the doctor found
out that you are pregnant.”
“P-pardon?” For fear of hearing my father’s words wrong, I looked at him and asked once more.
“Chloe, you are pregnant. There’s a little cub growing in your womb right here, right now…”
It was like lightning striking my mind, my head buzzed as my heart beat loudly and heavy. My hand
subconsciously moved to caress my womb as I mumbled in shock, “M-me… I’m pregnant?”
‘How? When did this happen?’ Hearing such unexpected news, I racked my mind to remember when I
could possibly become pregnant.
Suddenly the memories of the night of my birthday, Blake and I in bed, reminded me. ‘That’s it… it
happened on my birthday…’
“Yes you are…” Father replied patiently but his eyes already started to reddened as a genuine smile on
his face bloomed.
One look at him and I knew that he was extremely happy, though there were still some traces of worry
and fear in his heart.
“You must tell Blake about it. He has to know as soon as possible.” He added.
At the reminder of Blake, my entire body froze. A bitter taste rose from my chest as I let out a dejected
smile.
“I can’t do that, Father…” I mumbled.
My father frowned, not expecting my answer. The joyous face in his eyes became serious as he asked,
“Why so? Chloe… did something happen between you and Blake?”
Completely understanding the meaning behind his question, I shook my head for him not to
misunderstand, “It’s not like that father.”
Then I started to explain, “The very reason I left the Silver Pack was because I do not want Blake to
sacrifice himself to cure me and my wolf. Unless I run away, there’s no stopping him once he decides
on something.”
“So about my pregnancy… Father… I cannot let him know about it.” I looked at my father with pleading
eyes.
“Please father… don’t let him know about me being here and about the child.”
Father looked at me and for a long time he did not speak.
I no longer spoke as well and just let the silence flow.
After some time, my father spoke with great guilt as he clenched his fist, “This is all because I was an
incompetent father…”
“If I was able to protect you back then… the poisoning would have not happened…”
“Even until now, I am still unable to help you find a solution…”
“So you can only hide miserably like this…”
I held my father’s had to prevent him from beating himself as I smiled and replied,
“Father… I don’t blame you anymore.”
“Right now… everything is my decision. Whatever choice I made, it was because I am willing.”
We both went silent for a long while before he finally looked up and asked me, “What are you going to
do now?”
I took a deep breath and caressed my womb once more, “I don’t really know what to do next. But one
thing is for sure…”
“I will do everything so that I can give birth to my child safely… other than that… I won’t think of
anything else… for now.”
The next few days, I spent my days helping my father create more antidotes.
I also began to pay attention to my body, trying to keep my nutrition intake and rest as much as
possible.
I was also worried that my baby would also have health problems.
After all, my wolf, Aurora, is poisoned.
And so even as I take care of myself in preparation for motherhood, it did not stop me from finding
some books to read about how to prevent the mother’s complications from being inherited by my child.
The worst thing for me to know was that my baby would suffer the same condition I was in. And so I
read, ate and prayed everyday to the Moon Goddess to spare my child of all the suffering I was in.
In those few days, I also tried her best to get in touch with Vanessa and Lisa, planning my own future. I
wanted to try sounding them out and see if they would not make a move against me now that I am back
and could defend myself.
Their attitude would determine if I could stay in the pack even after I give birth or not.
One day Vanessa suddenly opened the door and Alan followed her.
Even though I was rudely disturbed, I held my emotions and calmly asked her, “What brings you two
here?”
Vanessa looked at me, her face was as hostile as ever as she coldly asked.
“Chloe, are you pregnant?”
I raised my head and looked at her with a questioning gaze, not answering her question immediately.
Seeing that I did not have an intention to speak, she raised her voice once more and asked, “Chloe,
answer me! Are you pregnant? Who’s the father of the child?!”
