Chapter 949 Not Welcome

The ancient Phoenix Palace majestically stood on the top of Wang Village. Its presence with impressive beauty and scale seemed to reach the clouds. It was such a grandeur to behold.

"Lucia, you know what I have dreamed of all my life? That one day, I can live in the Phoenix Palace.

But sadly, my dream will never come true. It is such a pity. So you are my hope now, understand?"

Dorothy confided with an air of melancholy surrounding her. She fixed her gaze at the two vivid sculptures of phoenixes adorning the palace.

"I know, Mom. I understand. I promise that we will not lose this time! Trust me!" Lucia assured her mother as she darted her eyes at the lofty Phoenix Palace. She fully knew that this grand residence represented the supreme power of the Yu Clan.

In no time, the mother and daughter arrived at the foot of the Phoenix Palace. As expected, a maid marched towards them.

"Greetings. I am Dorothy and this is my daughter Lucia. Is our Queen available? We would like to visit her and request her presence," Dorothy inquired.

"Wait a moment, please. I'll go and relay it to our Queen,"

replied the maid. Then she bowed before quickly turning around and eased her way back towards the palace.

A moment later, they saw the maid walk towards them again.

"Madam Dorothy, the Queen is available, but she will see only you."

Hearing this, Lucia cast a glance at Dorothy. Her face showed a confused expression.

Dorothy hastily waved her hand at Lucia as if dismissing her thoughts. Then she gently prompted, "Wait for me here."

Lucia had no choice but to nod absent-mindedly. As her doubts engulfed her again, she glanced back at the Phoenix Palace and thought, 'Did I offend her?

She didn't like me since I was a child!'

Dorothy inched her way up to the Phoenix Palace. When they reached the top, she felt her hands tremble as they paused for a while to wait.

Soon, she heard a faint sound, and the door slowly opened.

"My Queen, it is such an honor to see you. How have you been? I hope that you have been well."

With one hand placed on her chest, Dorothy bowed politely.

"Come in,"

an old but energetic female voice resonated coming from the palace.

Dorothy couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She entered the palace carefully. Although the woman in front of her was her mother, her fear of seeing her still dominated her reasoning.

"What brought you here to come see me?"

The woman asked in a casual tone with her back faced towards Dorothy. Her hair was all white, but she still managed to look grand and noble.

She wore a simple yet elegant silver crown on her head with her hair delicately coiled up, framing her beautiful face. She was dressed in a broad blue and purple robe that made her all th

looked at him.

Stunned with her words, Arthur turned to look at her and softly insisted, "Don't forget it. You are also her mother."

Lifting her chin slowly to meet his eyes, Eleanor looked dignified. She stated, "Don't blame me, Arthur. Yu Sea City is not a place where she can come and go at will!

No matter who she is, even if she is my daughter, I won't change my mind."

Arthur sighed gloomily. After settling himself down comfortably, he confided, "It's me. I asked her to bring Carla back. I want to see my daughter and granddaughter before I die. If you are angry about it, just blame me."

Hearing this, Eleanor stared at him directly, seemingly confused and surprised. She couldn't believe her ears.

As if he didn't see her questioning eyes, Arthur, who was lost in a daze, coughed a little. And when he spoke, he had a faraway look in his eyes, "Last month, I dreamed of God."

Eleanor froze for a moment as her heart pounded wildly. Coming back to her senses, she then hurriedly made her way towards him. With her fingers slightly trembling, she raised her wrinkled hand and tenderly caressed his face.

"Nonsense. You are two years younger than me. How could you dream about that? You must have made a mistake..."

Arthur took her hand, cutting her words off. He held her gaze and said with a gentle smile, "Eleanor, this is just as I have expected. My wish is to go to heaven before you. I will prepare things well there. So that when it is your time, I will be there waiting for you, and you won't have to be afraid!"

He had dreamed of God!

It was well-known in Yu Sea City that if someone dreamed of God, it meant that he or she would go to heaven soon.

People in other places may not have heard about it.

But in Yu Sea City, it was almost certain! Death might be upon Arthur and they were running out of time.
