The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 494

Chapter 494: The Duke’s Precious Daughter

[If something bad happens here, instead of blaming her, I will blame myself.] Lazarus thought bitterly. [This is our home. This is the place where my daughter should feel safe and be able to return to anytime. But how could I let danger enter this place? How could I let anything bad happen to my daughter?]

[I should have hired more guards every time she came home. Maybe I should have asked the wizards from the Magic Tower for help too.]

Truly... Primrose was speechless when she heard her father’s thoughts. Instead of thinking about his own safety while staying alone in this manor, he was thinking about her first.

How could Primrose deserve a father like him? She had never even been such a devoted daughter to him.

Sometimes, she even felt guilty. Maybe she shouldn’t ask him for money so often. But Lazarus loved buying her beautiful and expensive things, and whenever she tried to refuse, he would look sad.

In that case, she would still ask him for money.

"Father..." Primrose looked at him with tear-filled eyes. "I was really scared." Her voice broke. Tears fell down her cheeks as she cried again. Without hesitation, Lazarus pulled her into his arms.

"I thought... I thought I would never see you again," she whispered.

She didn’t say that only because of what had just happened in the manor, but it was also because of her past life.

Back then, Rose had watched Zarius die right in front of her.

She must have been so scared, and she must have lived for many years thinking that she would never be able to meet again the only father she truly loved.

That thought still hurts, even now.

[Something is wrong with my wife.]

Primrose froze in Lazarus’s arms when she heard Edmund’s thoughts. Honestly, she had even forgotten for a moment that her husband was standing right behind Lazarus.

He was so quiet that his presence almost faded into the background.

[I know she’s scared because of that strange man, but Leofric wouldn’t come to Illvaris for no reason,] Edmund thought. [If he came here himself just to save my wife... then something really terrible must have happened to her.]

His thoughts were filled with worry. For a moment, Edmund was completely lost in his own mind, so when he accidentally met Primrose’s eyes, he jolted slightly and realized that she had been listening to everything in his mind.

Sooner or later, Primrose knew she would have to tell Edmund what she had just gone through. And right now, she was thinking hard about whether she should tell Lazarus about it as well or not.

Lazarus was an important person in this matter, so it felt strange not to include him in the discussion.

But at the same time, Primrose was afraid that this kind of problem might burden his mind. Her father was already old, and sometimes he could get sick if he became too stressed. That was why she wasn’t sure if he could handle it.

"Rosie?" Lazarus called his daughter’s name when he noticed that Primrose had become unusually quiet and her body had grown tense. "What’s wrong? Are you still scared? Don’t worry, I’m here now, so no one will be able to hurt you."

[If that bastard dares to come back again, I’ll beat him with my cane!] Lazarus thought with full confidence, as if his weak body could really fight someone who was able to cover the entire manor with magic.

"No, I’m just... tired," Primrose said as she wiped the tears from her cheeks. Her voice was soft, and a little weak, making Lazarus feel even more sorry for her.

"Tired? Come, come, let’s sit down first." Lazarus gently let go of her and guided her toward the bed. He helped her sit down before sitting beside her himself.

His movements were careful, as if she might break if he wasn’t gentle enough.

Meanwhile, Edmund stood right next to Primrose, near the bedpost, staying so alert that he looked like a soldier on duty, guarding the precious queen of his kingdom.

"Do you want me to call the doctors to check on you?" Lazarus asked with worry written all over his face. "Or are you hungry? I can ask the cooks to make your favorite food right away. I can even let you eat something spicy today, if you want."

His voice was full of care, and full of love, so Primrose couldn’t help but let out a small laugh.

Primrose shook her head lightly. "No need," she said softly. "I’m really fine. Sir Leofric said I just need a little rest."
