Chapter 69
Chapter 69
Hearing my words, Vanessa began to visibly panic, because that was what she cared about most.
However, she tried to hide the uneasiness in her eyes and pretended not to care, “What kind of threat
is that? Getting my alpha position?? You didn't even have a wolf.”
“You dared to say big things? What ability does she have to sustain the position of Alpha?” Her voice
was quivering as she constantly questioned my abilities.
In the end, I ignored her questioning and replied, “You should be glad that I was never interested in
your Alpha status. Those kinds of things never even bothered me a bit, it was only you who kept on
fighting over it when you clearly do not have anyone to compete with.”
“Y-you!” Deeply insulted by my lack of interest and the fact that all this time she continued suppressing
me just to secure the Alpha position which I never even cared about Vanessa was so livid that she was
about to attack me with her powers.
“Cough!! Cough!!!”
However, in the midst of our exchange, my father's cough intensified until it became very
uncomfortable.
Deeply worried about his condition, I pushed Vanessa away and checked her father's body. Using
Teacher Astors medical skills, I examined my father's condition.
The state of his body made me anxious. He was really in a bad condition and if I could not think of
anything to stop it, he would really die.
That moment I told myself that I needed to help my father find a cure as soon as possible. Vanessa just
stood there anxiously, her eyes widened at the sight of our great and powerful father now at the mercy
of the poison in his body.
After letting her father rest, Vanessa and I walked out of the bedroom together.
I wanted to leave, but was stopped by Vanessa. Since father was no longer around, she did not
hesitate to hold my wrist, trying to restrict my movements as she tried to embarrass me.
“You, aren’t you glad that father isn’t treating you as badly as before? Chloe, father is just sick so he
cannot deal with you directly. Remember your position!” She said,
I looked at Vanessa with a ridiculing expression, I found her actions quite funny, “Haha, Vanessa,,, You
thought I would be afraid of you just like before? I know all the bad things you’ve done to me back then.
How you pretended to be still sick so that you can constantly torture me to give you my blood, how you
have been cheating with Alan even though I was his mate… How you deceived everyone with your
angelic facade!”
‘I am not the same as before Vanessa! If you deliberately make things difficult for me again, I will no
longer be kind to you! My sole purpose of coming back is for my father!”
“So as long as I am here, it is best for the two of us to avoid each other!” I shook my hand violently
enough to bring shock to Vanessa’s face.
But before she could retaliate, Alan came over.
“Vanessa! C-chloe?” He called Vanessa at a distance but as he came near, he was also surprised to
see me and awkwardly greeted.
“En, Hello Alan.” I casually nodded and left, not minding what the two of them thought about being in
the pack.
As I walked I could hear Vanessa’s angry voice as she shouted, “Where are you looking at Alan? You
miss Chloe? You wanna get back at him?”
“What are you thinking?! Am I not allowed to be in shock when someone unexpectedly shows up in the
pack?” Alan answered with a slight irritation in his voice.
“Alan, you scumbag! Don’t you think that I could not see through your lies!”
They started arguing behind my back but I could not care less. In the end, the couple that showed off to
me back then and destroyed my spirit were not as stable as I thought them to be. I shook my head and
continued walking to my old room.
I did not expect that my room would remain the same as before. Even after I left for a long time, the
room was still very clean.
On the table by the window, there is an extra pot of white moon orchids, which is my favorite. It looks
like someone is taking care of it every day.
I felt that everything was both familiar and strange at the same time. However, I did not linger on that
thought for long, as I started thinking about my father's poison.
I tried combining the pharmacology knowledge taught by Teacher Astor with my own talent for using
poison. As compared back then, I now had a deeper understanding of both the medicinal and the toxic
properties of most of the ingredients I was dealing with at the moment.
For the next few days, I locked herself in the room, and tried to avoid appearing in the Red Moon pack.
One time, Lisa came to me and questioned me like how Vanessa did. Strangely, when she learned that
the purpose of my return was to heal her father, she didn't say anything else and left me alone.
In the end, no matter how bad Lisa treats me, she really likes my father.
And perhaps, now that Vanessa is the alpha of the pack, she no longer sees me as a threat as well.
To my relief, the servant who brought my meals didn't have such a bad attitude as before.
Although I could still see the dislike ini her eyes, she maintained a polite demeanor. After putting down
the meal, she exited quietly, and there were more meals delivered of my favorite foods.
Finally, after being locked up for three days, I brought a bowl of antidote to my father.
Of course, there was still my own blood in it, but there were other differences from before. There were
more ingredients and herbs that are gentle in nature and more nourishing for Father’s body.
After all, I could not take the risk of having his organs damaged even more just to deal with the poison
in his body.
The three days of research proved to be beneficial and fruitful as I managed to balance the detoxifying
properties of the antidote, ensuring that it would not hurt father further when he takes it.
As I brought the bowl to my father’s room, he looked at me and frowned, “Chloe, did you have a good
rest all these days? Your complexion turned pale.”
However, I did not explain further and just introduced the antidote to my father, “I was researching the Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
antidote all this while. In the process I tend to be engrossed with researching and often forget time.”
“Don’t worry father, as soon as you take the antidote, I’ll monitor you for a while then take a rest.” I
assured him calmly.
Even though I was confident about the antidote I developed this time, I could not help but be anxious
as father drank the medicine.
But as soon as my father finished drinking, my head started to become dizzy, and my vision became
more and more blurred. felt my body falling on the ground as my vision slowly turned black.
Before I completely lost my consciousness, I vaguely heard my father calling my name nervously,
“Chloe!”
