Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 370

Outside the door, a flurry of footsteps scattered in different directions.

Willow's pupils dilated, Daphne's words echoing relentlessly in her mind.

A painful chill washed over her entire body.

The Jagger family had drugged him?

They had completely disregarded Lucian's consent and his health, all to force this engagement with Daphne?

And they used such a vicious, damaging substance to do it.

If she hadn't shown up, would his body have suffered irreversible damage?

What did the Jagger family even view him as? Just a pawn for marriage and profit?

At the thought of it, an inexplicable ache gripped her heart.

No wonder he felt absolutely zero loyalty toward his own bloodline. What was the point of having relatives like that?

They didn't just ignore his wishes; they actively conspired with outsiders to betray him.

They wanted to bleed him dry, content to drain every last drop of his worth until nothing was left but ash.

They were exactly like Xavier and the rest of his pathetic family!

Her gaze softened with deep sympathy as she looked at him. His skin was flushed with a feverish heat as he persistently peppered soft kisses against the corner of her mouth. "Honey, focus for me, alright?"

He still seemed to have a shred of reason left, purposely keeping his voice to a breathy whisper right against her ear.

His hot, damp breath enveloped her, causing her grip to involuntarily tighten.

This time, it was Lucian who lost all ability to focus.

By the end, he was completely lost to the haze of pleasure, mindlessly murmuring her name over and over again. "Willow..."

Daphne and her entourage soon circled back, their loud voices drifting through the thin wooden door.

Then came Daphne's sharp, suspicious inquiry. "We've searched the entire Rose Garden Conservatory. Could he be hiding in the Garden Utility Shed?"
