346 The Return

Selma Payne’s POV:

After that, we contacted my parents and Duke Frank. They were also very happy. Duke Frank also regretted that he left the Floodwater Pack too early. Otherwise, he could have used the excuse of staying to help me look after the Spring Rain Pack to see the birth of his grandson or granddaughter.

“Maybe you can do it in the Lycan pack,” I said. “We’ll go back to the Lycan pack in the safest months. The most advanced medical technology is there. We’ll be more at ease.”

Although the Spring Rain Pack treated medical treatment as a big project, it was still in its infancy. It would take at least two to three years to reach the expected standard.

In fact, when I found out that I was pregnant, I first thought of giving birth at the Spring Rain Pack to increase its popularity, but Aldrich and my close subordinates seriously rejected this suggestion.

Even the doctor in charge of me agreed. The hospital at the Spring Rain Pack was currently not equipped with the ability to deal with most emergencies. For my safety, I had to return to the Lycan pack with cutting-edge equipment and high-end medical technology.

I was expected to return in five to six months, which meant I had at most three months to deal with the Spring Rain Pack.

I had to step up the department planning and talent selection and try to delegate the power that could be delegated to the various departments. I had to seize the time to check and fill in the gaps to prevent accidents from happening while I was away.

Due to the strict schedule, I couldn’t work overtime as I pleased like before. Aldrich and the girls helped me with a large part of the burden. Even Master Kevin, who had always been in academia, was temporarily hired by me to work. I was not willing to give up the educational resources of the Spring Rain Pack. I might get a surprise if I develop my sorcery here.

During this time, the medical team and the team servants from the Lycan pack were not idle either.

In addition to my daily checkups, I assigned the medical team to the health department to participate in the medical industry. They had a lot of fun giving lectures and training classes. Tracy occasionally complained to me that some of the subordinates she had high hopes for had to resign to work in the Spring Rain Pack.

Although Kara’s servants didn’t interfere with government work, they opened housekeeping training classes under my instructions. They trained many old and weak residents who didn’t have any skills.

There were also a few interludes. When Kara first arrived, she brought Bersha’s letter of thanks and all kinds of woolen accessories she had personally woven. She said that it was a gift of thanks to me. This furry and warm shawl and scarf looked so comfortable in the winter with heavy snow.

I received news of Bertha’s reunion with my brother a few months ago. I didn’t send anyone to find Angus. I was surprised that Benson was involved in this matter.

In addition, the first batch of new residential districts had already been completed. Following the principle of ‘we must do our best,’ I was not stingy with my funds. I was committed to increasing the safety and comfort levels of the new residential districts.

The first batch of residents was very satisfied. This indirectly increased the people’s enthusiasm for the Spring Rain Pack’s transformation, and their work efficiency increased.

When the last winter snow melted, and the ground began to sprout green grass, it was finally time for me to set off for home.

The Spring Rain Pack’s citizens were reluctant to part with me. Even though I had already announced that I would lead the modification work remotely from the Lycan pack and that I would not abandon them, they still had the idea that I would never return, so they sent me off on the day I left.

Looking at the reluctant citizens and the banners and posters praising me, a sense of pride and emotion rose in my heart. Look, this was the reward for my hard work. To a leader, what was more precious than the heartfelt admiration and support of the people? Water could carry a boat. Relationships should always be two-way. Only when you do well enough would you be truly recognized.

With tears in my eyes, I waved to the people as a sign of respect. Fresh flowers and colored ribbons filled my path out of the city.

After leaving the Spring Rain Pack, I was still in a daze. Normally, Aldrich would try his best to prevent me from having big emotional fluctuations, but he did not stop my tears this time. He just silently hugged me, giving me spiritual comfort and support.

“I’ll definitely go back,” I said. “I’ll turn the Spring Rain Pack into a legend. I won’t let the people down.”

On the way, we rested in the Shadow Pack as usual. My adoptive parents smiled at me. Compared to Rhode, who was still a bachelor, they could fulfill their wish of having a grandchild through me.

When Teresa visited me, she brought along two of her children. The two or three-year-old boys were cuter than the angels on the wall paintings. When I saw them, I couldn’t help but imagine what my future children would be like.

I originally wanted to leave my attendants in the Spring Rain Pack. First, they would be my hands, feet, and eyes. Second, they could continue to train their abilities. But in the end, only Jordin stayed. Emma insisted on returning with me. She wanted to return to her family to deal with the group of ‘family members’ holding her back.
