Chapter 223 Turning Back
What they didn’t know was that Rosalie had already reached the edge of Vaford.
It was no longer snowing there.
Rosalie woke up to warm sunlight on her face. A light breeze brushed past her skin.
She was flying in the sky. She tapped the dragon beneath her.
Finished
The dragon slowly descended. When it landed, Rosalie jumped down. She was wearing too many layers and felt hot all over. Sweat soaked her back.
She took off her outer clothes, but the heat didn’t fade.
Rosalie touched her forehead. It was burning. She had a fever.
That made sense. After everything she’d been through, it would be strange if she didn’t
get sick.
They had landed in a forest. Rosalie picked some useful herbs and boiled them on the spot to make a cooling herbal drink.
While Declan wasn’t looking, she quietly added a fever-reducing medicine from the system.
When the brew was ready, Rosalie pinched her nose and drank it down
The hot liquid slid into her stomach. Slowly, her cold hands and feet began to warm.
She never wanted to feel that again-the frozen snowfields, numb limbs, and the helpless feeling of not being able to move.
After the medicine, she finally broke into a sweat. The pressure in her head eased, and her mind felt clearer.
Just then, Declan returned from hunting and brought a chicken.
He skillfully plucked the feathers, and Rosalie set the chicken over the fire to roast.
She knew she should eat something light while sick, but they didn’t have that luxury. They had to make do.
The two of them shared the whole roasted chicken. After eating, Rosalie finally felt alive again.
She patted Declan on the shoulder. “Let’s go. We should head back.”
Declan shifted into his dragon form. “We need to return to Vaford right away. You need rest and a doctor.”
Rosalie smiled and shook her head. “No. We’re not going to Vaford. We’re going back the way we came, We’re going to find Leon and the others.”
“What?!” Declan’s voice shot up. He turned back into human form and grabbed her shoulders.
His brow tightened. “Matriarch, it’s too dangerous. You can’t go back.”
Rosalie shook her head again, her expression firm.

Chapter 223 Turning Back
“No. I have to. Bert brought too many people.
“They’re outnumbered. They can’t handle this alone. I’m going to help, but not by myself.
“I’m going to find reinforcements.”
Elijah didn’t run into Bert’s group. Instead, he met Julien, who was carrying Gael in his arms.
Julien’s face was blank, but Elijah’s expression turned grave as he stepped closer.
Finished
A deep scar cut across Gael’s face. It was horrifying. His skin was paler than snow, and he looked like he was barely holding on.
Elijah immediately understood how serious it was.
Even with a life-saving pill, it wouldn’t be enough. If Gael wasn’t treated right away, death was the only
outcome.
Julien was wrapped in deep grief, yet his eyes held stubborn resolve.
If he hadn’t arrived in time, the body in his arms would already be a corpse.
He had never been a good brother. He couldn’t save Gael’s tail back then, and now he couldn’t protect his life either.
But he refused to believe Gael would die like this. As long as he was fast enough, Gael could still be saved.
