Chapter 88
The rumours about the King and Duke’s presence in the hospital spread like wildfire, and gossipers somehow managed to find out that the future Queen was being treated there. Chats were sent. Calls were made. News feeds were updated. Soon, journalists started publishing short articles about whatever little they know from their sources.
When Greg saw the news on his notifications bar, his eyes widened in shock. He left his drink at the refreshments table, and left the dining hall in quick paces as he skimmed through the article, trying to find out how Lucianne was hurt. When he got nothing from the list of useless articles except for the name of the hospital where Lucianne was admitted into, he threw his phone on the passenger’s seat of his car in frustration and drove faster than he had ever driven, beating all the traffic lights along the way.
Whose name stood out for Greg?

When Lucianne started breathing on her own again three hours later, the doctors removed the air mask and reported the improvements. Her vitals are nearing normal, and she would most likely wake up in the morning. Everyone was relieved. Toby slumped to the ground and looked at the ceiling as he uttered in immense gratitude, “Thank you, Moon Goddess.”Tate and Lovelace managed a relieved smile despite their still-glistening eyes. Juan’s pale face started to regain its color as he linked Hale. Christian and Annie felt like a huge weight was taken off their shoulders, and Annie started explaining to Russell that Lucianne was going to be alright. Raden and Sylvia relaxed visibly, their bodies slumped against the wall from their tensed slouching positions.By far, the most relieved, but the most guilty, was Xandar. The co

At around 3 a.m., Helena Tanner’s phone screen lit up. Being careful to not wake her mate, she shifted slowly to reach her phone on her night stand. Her eyes squinted in the dark as she read the message from a number she was careful not to add into her contact list but knew by heart. She threw her covers and stood, which was when her mate asked groggily, “Where are you going? What happened?”She tried to mask her worry and responded in a flat tone, “Just work. I have to check on something.”“Now?” Her mate asked in disbelief as he checked the illuminated figures on his alarm clock next to him.Helena forced a smile and kissed her mate on his cheek before explaining, “It’s urgent. I’ll come back as soon as it’s

Helena finally understood why she was being tortured. It wasn’t because she went against the Duke’s orders and used poison. It was because the Duke, for some reason, thought that the poison she ordered got into a person he cared about. The Duke had feelings for the woman who was with the King!Greg scoffed, which brought Tanner out of her thoughts. His eyes bore into hers as he said, “And you thought she was an accessory. Goddess, Tanner. You’re a bigger idiot than I thought you were.”“I didn’t kill her. I didn’t. I never sent anyone after her.” She repeated in dismay.“Who did you send Brown to kill? Be specific this time.”“T-The instructions

A quarter to five in the morning, Xandar was resting his head on the bed next to his mate, taking in her scent as he stroked her hand when, suddenly, he heard her soft moan. His body shot up from the chair, and he inched his face closer to hers as he uttered, “Baby. Baby, are you awake? Can you hear me?”Lucianne’s fingers moved slightly in Xandar’s hand, and her eyelids pressed down for a moment before they opened halfway to reveal those dazed black orbs. Her dry lips parted as she muttered, “Xandar.”Xandar’s eyes were tearing up with relief and joy. “Baby. Oh, Goddess. You’re okay. You’re okay.” He kissed her on her lips and she responded, albeit very weakly.When she felt his tears and he pulled away

Lucianne felt Xandar’s panicked grip so she turned her attention away from Russell, who just came with Annie and Christian. Lucianne then stroked Xandar’s cheeks as she cooed, “Xandar, everything is fine. Breathe. Everything is alright.”When his breathing steadied and Lucianne let go of his face, Christian came over to pat Xandar on the shoulder and asked in concern, “You alright, cuz?”“Y-Yeah. Just need to splash some water on my face.” He got up from his chair to peck a kiss on Lucianne’s cheek as he whispered, “I won’t take long. I’ll be right back.”To Lucianne’s surprise, her mate ruffled Russell’s hair with a warm smile before he headed to the bathroom sink to wash away th

Lucianne shook her head again before she said, “No. The last thing I remember was the pain spreading from my left calf. And the smell of the poison.”“Smell?” Dr Karr asked.“Yeah. Being a wolf, I’ve never come into contact with Oleander in any way. I’ve read about them but I’ve never studied their properties. Yesterday was the first time I got its scent. It smells terrible, doesn’t it? What’s it made of anyway? I know there must be mercury, salt and granite. But what’s the last thing I’m missing?”The doctors were lost for words for a moment before Dr Gina managed to say, “Th-Thioacetone, my Queen. It’s a substance powerful enough to induce nausea even in small amounts.”

Seeing that Lucianne needed nothing more than food and bed rest, the doctors discharged her before noon. Russell obediently went to kindergarten, leaving the hospital with Annie. Xandar, Christian and Lucianne grabbed a quick bite before they headed to the police station.Xandar only brought Lucianne because he didn’t want to let her out of his sight. But he reminded Lucianne to use as little strength as possible when she was there, meaning no excessive mental gymnastics with whatever they were about to hear from Chief Dalloway.The Chief brought them to see Agnes Fitzgerald. They peered through the one-way mirror at the tear-strained, exhausted-looking woman. When Xandar asked why she chose to confess, Chief Dalloway said that she ‘regretted ordering the murder’ as soon as she found out what really happened.

Agnes was taken aback with what Lucianne just said but she stubbornly insisted, “No, I did. It was me. Please. I’ve always h-hated Ellia Morgan, a-and I wanted her j-job, a-and…”“Who do you love most, Agnes?” Lucianne interrupted her with a seemingly-unrelated question.Agnes was confused but seeing Lucianne’s warm, encouraging smile, she nodded with uncertainty and uttered, “M-My child, your Hi-Highness.”Lucianne smiled wider and leaned closer as she asked, “A boy or a girl?”“G-Girl.” She was still lost.“What’s her name?”
