In truth, I was waiting for the right moment, hoping Sebastian would tell me the truth about that girl.
Mignon–her name drifted back into my mind.
Although I had only seen her once from the tower, she had left a deep impression on me.
She had the same hair color as Sebastian and a faint resemblance in her features.
Her identity wasn’t hard to guess, yet I still longed to hear Sebastian tell me himself. It would make me feel like he truly trusted me.
We’d been spending much more time together recently, but those moments we shared. brought a rare sense of peace.
I never expected to meet Mignon again under such circumstances.
There she was, her small figure kneeling on the ground, with Lydia beside her, a look of panic and disbelief etched on her face.
“What are you doing?”

At the sound of my shout, Lydia visibly tensed. She up abruptly, her voice. trembling..
“I don’t know–it has nothing to do with me…”
I rushed to Mignon’s side immediately. Her small body was burning up, her flushed face. marked by bruises and scratches.
Looking up, I noticed a small window about three stories high on the wall, and expression darkened.

“You’d better pray Mignon’s okay. Otherwise, when I return, I’ll make sure Sebastian tears you to pieces!”
The child in my arms was about Aaron’s age and in just as poor health. Any mother seeing this would feel nothing but heartbreak.
As for Lydia, I could guess what she had done–her dark hair and faint resemblance to Rachel gave her away.
“Stop trying to scare me! She jumped on her own,

Before she could finish her excuse, I swiftly raised my leg and placed it across her neck.
“The only reason you’re still breathing is because I have to get this child to a doctor. Don’t push me, or I won’t show mercy!”

What, I picked Mignon up and dashed toward the parking lot.
Sebastian had received critical news that morning, instructing his Beta to allow no interruptions.
I had no idea where the castle’s doctor might be, and if the Northern Territory had a decent doctor, Mignon wouldn’t be in such dire shape.
With that thought, I took his Jeep and sped toward the southern island, known as the “Island of Healing.”

Aaron’s former doctor resided there, and if he agreed to help, Mignon would certainly be safe.
As I pressed down on the accelerator, I noticed Mignon’s condition was deteriorating. rapidly.
By the time we reached the island, it was nearly two in the afternoon.
In my rush, I failed to notice the pair of eyes watching me closely from behind.
Elliott, frowning, hesitated only briefly before following my steps.

On the way here, I didn’t know how many red lights I had run or how many other packs” territories I’d sped through.
But as I realized the little life in my arms was on the verge of slipping away, I couldn’t help but feel a wave of panic wash over me, cold sweat forming on my forehead.
Wearing heels, each step I took in a hurried jog felt unsteady. At the corner, I failed to notice a mother and son ahead and collided into them.
“Sorry, I’m in a hurry…”
My apology caught in my throat when I looked up and saw Courteney’s f

Seeing me, Aaron’s voice held a hint of hesitation when he saw me, but then it grew louder.
Once he confirmed that it was truly his mother standing before him, he excitedly jumped in front of me, his eyes shining as he gazed up at me.
The familiar tone made my eyes quiver slightly.
My son, whom I hadn’t seen for several months, suddenly appeared, and even with my usual composure, I felt momentarily dazed.
“Ma’am?”
The nurse’s urgent voice snapped me back to reality. There was no time to linger–I

Chapter 27: She Brought a Little Girl? immediately rushed toward Mignon’s hospital room.
“Mom, L…”
Aaron’s words trailed off as he watched my figure disappear from view.
In the past, when he’d excitedly run up to me like that, I would have cupped his little face, showering him with kisses, lifting him up, and playing with him…
But now, I had completely ignored his plea for affection. How could that be?
When I pushed open the door to the hospital room, I saw the little girl curled up on the bed, shivering as she hugged herself tightly.
The faint smell of medicine filled the air, and as the nurse approached with the syringe, Mignon’s body reflexively trembled.
The sharp scent of disinfectant made her cough softly.
“Mom… Mommy, it hurts! Mommy… can you hold Mignon?”
As I moved closer, Mignon’s tension eased visibly. Her cries of pain softened into quiet sobs–she knew the louder she cried, the more upset her mother would become.
“The child’s bone marrow pressure is too high, causing pain throughout the body. She had just undergone chemotherapy, so she was experiencing temporary bone marrow activity. In this situation, we strongly recommend that you arrange for surgery for the child as soon as possible.”
I nodded in response to the doctor’s words and quickly moved to the bedside, gathering the small child into my arms.
“Mommy is here, Mommy is right here!”
Mignon’s hot tears fell onto my soft heart, and seeing her like this made it hard for me to breathe. Tears streamed down my face in large drops.
“Don’t cry! Mommy’s not crying!”
I wasn’t sure if Mignon could really recognize who I was, after all, we had only met once. Furthermore, Rachel and I looked nothing alike.
But when I watched her feebly lift her frail little hand to gently wipe my cheek, my heart melted.
This feeling was something Aaron had never given me; he only thought that everything I did as a mother was simply my duty.
I cradled Mignon in my arms, gently soothing her.
I was completely unaward of Aaron watching us closely from the doorway.
In his small blue eyes swirled a tempest of intense emotions.

A nameless jealousy flared within Aaron’s little body as he rushed over, glaring fiercely at Mignon.
Mignon, who had just been on the verge of sleep, didn’t understand what she had done wrong; she merely curled up in my embrace, trembling with fear as her tears fell even harder.
At Aaron’s words, I glanced at him coldly.
Considering my relationship with Sebastian, Mignon was, of course, my child too.
“Mignon didn’t say anything wrong; she is also my child.”
I gently patted Mignon’s back, my chin resting affectionately against her forehead.
The scene was painfully bright in Aaron’s eyes!
In the past, his mother would only soothe him in such a gentle way.
Now, how could it be…? Children’s jealousy was always so unreasonable.
Aaron seemed to have lost his sanity, his eyes a fiery red. He reached out and yanked the
IV out of Mignon’s arm, causing blood to pour forth uncontrollably.
I never imagined that in just a few short months, this child could develop such a tyrannical personality.
With no time to think, I suddenly raised my hand and slapped him lightly on the face.
“Are you hitting me for her? You might as well have your eyes glued to her!”
Aaron slumped heavily to the ground, unable to contain his anguished shout.
