Exchanging Vows: The Swapped Wife Is a Top Shaman novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Chapter 51

Seraphina’s Point of View

Children drowning again? This has to stop... enough is enough. I balled my fist at the thought of such careless accidents happening repeatedly.

By the time everyone gathered at the lakeshore, the children had already been pulled from the water by maids and guards.

Pure anger surged through me as I surveyed the chaotic scene.

Bella was crying uncontrollably as soon as she saw her brother among the children who had been pulled from the water, his body lying still and unmoving.

Her sobs grew louder, filled with fear and desperation as she rushed toward him.

It was exactly the same horrifying scene as before, just like when we visited her father’s pack... the same lifeless stillness.

Maybe this was a misfortune that had followed her here... but could I really feel any satisfaction when innocent children were involved? The thought alone left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Or was it because she chose to befriend that wretched Ivy, instead of me? My gaze shifted to them. Ivy stood beside Bella, offering comfort. This sight made my teeth clench.

Right, I myself had been standing beside Princess Aria, the Alpha King’s eldest daughter. I was just about to greet her, to exchange pleasantries, when the sudden commotion broke out and stole everyone’s attention.

“Call the doctor!” the Luna Queen ordered.

“There’s no need for the doctor,” I said suddenly. All eyes turned to me at once, some filled with disbelief, others thinking I had lost my mind.

“My cousin sister, Ivy, once saved little Luke along with other children when they drowned,” I continued ignoring their gaze. “It would be much faster for her to help these children now, before the doctor even arrives,” I added, standing my ground despite their doubtful stares.

All their eyes moved away from me and settled on Ivy with expectation.

“Won’t you, Ivy? You saved those children before... you can save these ones too, right?” I asked, fixing my gaze on her, pressing her to respond. I was silently seething.

Why wasn’t she saying anything? The silence stretched, making my heart beat faster. The Queen hurried toward her, desperation was clear in every of step.

“Ivy, is it true what your sister is saying? Can you help them, please?” she asked, tears brimming in her eyes as she looked at Ivy with hope.

“I can try,” Ivy said, trying to calm herself despite the tension, as she quickly scanned the area. “But I’ll need a few people to help me,” she added, already stepping forward with that infuriating composure.

That was exactly how she handled it back at Pearlside Pack... always needing people, always showing off.

“I’ll help,” Bella said immediately, pushing through her tears, ready to assist.

“And I too...” Princess Aria said, stepping forward as well.

“Me too,” I added quickly, following her as she joined. Wanting to impress Princess Aria, to overshadow Ivy.

“Each person, one child,” Ivy instructed.

Each of us took responsibility for one child, moving under Ivy’s direction. Since Princess Aria couldn’t attend to both of her younger siblings at once, she chose to focus on her brother, Samir.

Meanwhile, I moved toward her sister, Poline, kneeling beside her small, still body, pushing aside my thoughts as I prepared to help.

“Follow my steps you, and your heart. This is how you do it,” Ivy said.

It sounded so easy when she explained it, but my heart pounded as I knelt beside the child, trying to stay calm.

I followed my instincts, just as she had instructed, and carefully placed my mouth over her, blowing air gently into her. Around me, the others did the same with their assigned children, each focused.

One by one, the children began to cough and sputter, spitting out water, gasping for air as life slowly returned to them.
