Chapter 199

Ayla sobbed uncontrollably, her tears falling like rain.

The specialists consulted, delivering their diagnosis.

“Mr. Silvermane, your daughter’s spleen was nearly ruptured. She needs a blood transfusion, the doctor explained.

“With rest, she should recover.”

Willow was admitted to a ward. Ayla tended to her injuries, her tears blurring her vision. She couldn’t bear the sight of Willow spain

“I’m here,” Lucian said, taking the ointment from Ayla, gently patting her shoulder. He knelt beside Willow.

Willow’s lips trembled, tears streaming down her face. She cried heartbrokenly.

Lucian’s voice was soft, but his heart ached.

The specialists had confirmed that Willow had been kicked hard, nearly causing her spleen to rupture.

“Willow, don’t cry,” he soothed, his touch gentle.

“Daddy… I’m not a bastard… I have a father… Mommy isn’t a mistress…” she sobbed.

“They said I was lying!”

Willow’s agitation intensified, causing her to clutch her stomach. Her face paled.

Lucian’s heart lurched. He called for a nurse to administer a sedative.

Willow quieted down.

Lucian continued to tend her wounds.

Ayla sat silently, shedding tears.

Afterward, Ayla turned to Lucian, her voice choked with emotion.

“Lucian, I never forced you. Five years ago, your grandmother disapproved, making you responsible for Seren. I understood her importance to you, and I never pressured you.

I went abroad with Willow. If she hadn’t gotten sick, I wouldn’t have returned to disrupt your life. I never expected you to take responsibility for us but…”

“It doesn’t matter if I’m called a mistress, but Willow can’t be called a bastard.

She’s my everything. Seeing her hurt like this… my heart breaks.”

“Your grandmother’s accepted me. Can you please keep our relationship confidential, stay with me? Can Willow be officially recognized as part of your family?”

Ayla’s wolf trembled with a mixture of hope and fear.

Lucian looked at Ayla, a lifetime of unspoken emotions swirling in his gaze. She had been his beacon during his darkest hours. He couldn’t have survived without her.

He knew, instinctively, she was the one.

“Okay. He made his promise, acknowledging her.

Willow became a Silvermane, and Ayla, Mrs. Silvermane.

Ayla wept with joy, throwing herself into Lucian’s arms.

He held her close. The joy was bittersweet, tinged with a profound sadness.

I stood by the artificial lake, her emotions raw.

I’d considered jumping in after Aurora’s necklace. Now, calmer, I looked at the water. The artificial lake was connected to a larger body of

The necklace was irretrievable.

Leaving the lake, my mood gloomy, I collided with a nurse hurrying to the ward, spilling the blood plasma she carried.
