Chapter 459 - 459 The Parasite

459 The Parasite

Selma Payne’s POV:

“All of you are distinguished figures; perhaps you’ve never seen me with such dark thoughts. However, I’m not afraid of everyone sneering at me. To me, the ball of flesh in my stomach is not my child at all. It is a parasite, a demon, a countdown to my life. I knew that I would die the moment he was born. Who would love a child who was destined to bring death to herself? Besides, this isn’t the fruit of my love for anyone. It’s just a b*stard forced into my stomach through schemes and intrigues.

“I’d tried many methods, such as going on a hunger strike, pretending to be crazy, and banging my stomach against the wall, but I’m as weak as a kitten in front of those people. They started injecting me with nutrient fluids, tied me to the bed with a tie, moved all the furniture, installed soft sponges on the wall, and sent people to watch my every move 24 hours a day. They even asked someone to watch me shower and use the toilet!”

Tears of pain flashed in Carey’s eyes as she clutched her head and cried. All I could give her was a useless and dry comfort.

“I’ve been in despair for a long time. I counted the days one by one. They refused to tell me the due date, but I could feel their malice and my death approaching. Until…

“Until that day, the ball of flesh in me suddenly started to reject me for some reason. Isn’t that ridiculous? He’s the parasite in my body absorbing nutrients without restraint, but he wants to reject me, the mother. However, thanks to this, I could finally escape this dark hell.

“Dr. Lester was the doctor who operated on me in the past. At first, I was terrified of him, and I thought he was with them, but he suddenly asked me quietly if I wanted to run away, and the price was to lose my child forever. At that time, I was petrified. I thought this was some boring probing game, so I resolutely refused. Although I wanted to kill this b*stard then, I had to save myself. If I anger those people, I’m really afraid that I won’t even be able to wait until the day this vile spawn is born.”

I looked at Lester, who nodded. “Yes, Miss Carey didn’t agree to leave with me, but I could see the will to live in her eyes, so I stole her away.”

He then turned to Carey and apologized sincerely, “I’m very sorry, Miss Carey. I decided on my own. I don’t expect you to forgive me. As long as the current situation can give you a little comfort, I will rest easy.”

Carey shook her head nervously and looked at Lester with a hint of shyness. “Please don’t say that. If it wasn’t for you… I…”

“That’s enough, Miss Carey,” I interrupted this one-sided love destined to end due to the suspense. I’m very sorry for what you’ve experienced. It’s not just the Evaria Family’s fault that such an appalling imprisonment case happened in the Lycan pack. As a princess, I apologize for the royal family’s negligence.”

Carey was extremely nervous. She kept shaking her head and became restless.

I didn’t want this poor girl to suffer anymore, so I arranged the documents on the table and handed them to her. I comforted her and said, “You can consider the contract terms. If you have any requests, you can tell the servant in charge of taking care of you anytime. They will report to me immediately.”

“Servant? Do I have to… Do you live in the palace?” Carey’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Yes, the Evaria Family will turn the Lycan pack upside down when they find out you’ve disappeared. Now, other than the palace, no place can guarantee your safety. Don’t worry. I’ll arrange a safe and secluded corner for you. You can recuperate in peace and don’t have to worry about the drama outside.”

Carey burst into tears again. “Moon Goddess bless you, Your Highness. I’m such a lowly person, but you’re taking care of me. The palace, oh my god, the palace…

Kara then took Carey away.

Master Kevin did not say a word the entire time. He had become the quiet bookworm again as if the madness of the past few days was just a fantasy. He left the stage completely to Lester, who was more like a businessman or politician than a medical scientist.

Lester was not originally a test tube baby researcher, but his field of expertise was genetics. However, this was a challenging and profound medical field. Finding a suitable research object was difficult, and it would swallow money like a bottomless pit. For the sake of his career, Lester accepted the hero position from the Evaria Family – hereditary infertility was also a genetic disease, wasn’t it?

Although he didn’t help with infertility, he still managed to get them a child. This made the Evaria Family love and hated him. They loved him because he might give them more children with royal blood, but they hated him because he was a famous medical scientist. They could not make him ‘disappear’ from the world and only serve the Evaria Family.
