Chapter 84
After the conversation, I took Father to his room to check his condition.
Lisa and Vanessa were also there, unwilling to leave their father in that state.
I sighed in my heart as I saw their reactions. It really seems that their concern and affection toward
their father was real.
The only bitter thing was that, in the family they have in their minds, I was not considered a member.
While I dutifully checked my father's condition and tucked him in his bed, no one in the room said
anything.
After ensuring that my father's condition stabilized, I quietly excused myself in the room and headed
toward my own room to retire for the tiring day.
“You must be gloating right now, are you Chloe?” Vanessa’s voice rang on my back as soon as I left the
floor where my father is staying.
“What makes you think that I am like that?” The long day and the dread about my father’s deteriorating
condition is already giving me a headache, but Vanessa still wanted to test my limits with her hostile
attitude.
I turned around and looked at her straight in the eyes, challenging her already strong animosity with the
same coldness.
Vanessa clenched her fist as she gritted her teeth, “The deal you’ve made with Alpha Anon, you must
be feeling smug about it! Don’t be pretentious! Also, how did you even know what he wanted so that
you could firmly grasp what he wants? Did you perhaps have dealings with him and other men?!”
I shook my head at Vanessa’s narrow sightedness,
“Think whatever you want to think. But the truth is, I just don’t want to see my father's life’s work, the
Red Moon Pack being slaves of the South Dew Pack before his eyes.”
“I don’t want to watch it unfold like that when I know I could do something about it…”
“Vanessa… remember what we promised Father… and to be honest, I just want to live my life here in
peace as well… So as long as you do not provoke me I would not care about what you do in the pack
as the Alpha. I will honor my promise to Dad and assist you when needed. I hope you do your part as
well…”
After saying my piece, I no longer cared about her reaction and went to my room to finally rest.
Father’s words earlier had already bothered me… He seems to be telling us something, but I do not
want to know the reason behind it.
But it was rather because I was afraid to accept the truth behind it.
I looked at the windows once more and looked at the gentle night sky and the moon.
“Moon goddess… if possible... Please let me stay with my father for a longer time… I still want him to
see his grandchild…” I sincerely prayed in my heart, while caressing my womb.
“Ever since I was a child, I have been praying to you that you take all my sufferings away. Now, can I Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
be selfish once more and ask that you not take my father away for me as well?”
Warm tears in my eyes flowed. The fact that even if it was only at this point in time that I could receive
father’s affection, and that most of my memories about him were his coldness toward me, my desire for
his love still prevailed.
He was still my father… the only one whom I can consider as family.
And now that I chose to leave Silver Pack and Blake behind, it was only he who could make me feel
like the Red Moon pack is really my home.
The night passed just like that, and in the next few days, Vanessa seemed to have not engaged in a
quarrel with me, surprisingly.
It was not until I heard from my servant that Lisa apparently advised her to not create problems for me
at the moment because of the fact that the other pack members changed their opinion towards me.
But that did not last long as I heard another amusing news around.
It was that the Alpha, Vanessa and the Sentinel, Alan, were now having a big fight because of me.
“Apparently, everytime the Alpha wanted to go to you and confront you about some matters, it would be
the great sentinel who would be the first one to stop her from coming to you…” The servant who
brought the meal explained.
“Because of that, the Alpha was suspicious if the sentinel had feelings toward you and so they
appeared to quarrel a lot during official meetings.”
“Many times the Alpha wanted to come to you and confront you but the sentinel would fiercely stop her
making the Alpha more jealous and angry. Chloe what should you do?” The servant asked.
I, who was busy tending and breeding the Anderalesia flower that Alpha Anon wants in the next few
days, paused and thought for a moment.
What good would I do if I go out between them and clear Alan’s name? It would only make Vanessa
even more jealous and suspicious.
“Leave them be… I have no intention to interfere with their relationship…” I finally replied.
“The more I involve myself with them, the more my name would be caught in their quarrels. It’s better to
avoid the two of them and just focus on treating and accompanying the father.” I continued.
The only thing that is important to me now is that I will be with my father no matter what his situation
turns out to be and that I can protect my child.
The best choice to do that is to not mediate between the two and just mind my own business.
“I-i see…” The servant replied and quietly excited.
In the room, I continued to tend the Anderalesia flowers and create more nourishing tonics for my
father when another sound of knocks interrupted me.
“Who is it?” I answered and another servant came and looked at me stiffly as he announced.
“L-lady Chloe… the retired Alpha summons you to his chambers…”
I stopped everything that I was doing and replied, “Alright… I’ll be coming right away.”
