I knew what Lester was worried about. After all, he had been in contact with many powerful people. These people had always been like this. If they could cure the patient, it was what they should do. They would hold the patient responsible if they couldn’t cure the patient. It was as if the doctor brought the patient’s illness.

So I consoled him. “Don’t worry. I’m not the kind of person who implicates my subordinates for no reason. I make all the decisions. Even if something happens to the wolf cub, it has nothing to do with you. I swear to the Moon Goddess.”

Lester was embarrassed by my serious attitude. “As you wish, Your Highness.”

“Then, let’s start now.”

I gathered the medical staff again and announced my decision to them. They would no longer be in charge of treatment and only assist Master Kevin and Lester.

As a doctor in charge, he was the first to question my decision. However, my decision could not be overturned, not to mention that the blood of the wolf cub could not be easily publicized. I could trust Master Tracy, but he could not. So, he went to his new post with doubts.

At that moment, Kara told me that my mother had woken up.

I sighed, knowing that the next battle would be a tough one.

“Selma!”

My mother ran in with red eyes and a rare serious expression.

“What are you doing? How could you send away the wolf cub’s doctor? Don’t you know what’s going on with this child? The wolf cub needs a doctor. Otherwise, he will... He will... He will die!”

Under my gaze, the crowd silently left, leaving only my mother in the room and me.

As far as I could remember, ever since I acknowledged my family and returned home, my mother had never given me any face. She was practically the mother who dotes on her daughter the most in the world. In her eyes, I’d never made a mistake. Even if I wanted to blow up the palace immediately, she would have found an architect in advance to plan a new palace that would suit my preferences.

But now, she was looking at me angrily, and the warmth in her eyes was gone as if I had made a terrible mistake that even the indestructible kinship could not make up for my ‘evil deed’.

But I knew she was not angry at me but at herself.

My mother blamed herself. She might seem to dislike the whole world, but I was too familiar with this situation. As the self-blame in her heart had already overflowed in the eyes of others, it seemed that she was always blaming others, but who knew that she had long declared in her heart that her crimes were unforgivable?

I was just too similar to my mother in that we were too obsessed with a dead end and demanding of ourselves.

“What are you talking about?” My mother still couldn’t understand. “If the doctor doesn’t come, can the wolf cub recover? What evolution? What did that mean? Tell me, Selma. I know you won’t harm your child, but you must convince me!”

“Alright... Mother.” I was thinking about how to speak. “Do you still remember what I told you about my encounter in the Snowy Mountains? At that time, I thought I was about to die, but a strange cocoon allowed me to break out and be reborn. I used the demonic fragment to reconstruct my body, and my situation was similar to the wolf cub’s. My body was dissolved bit by bit, leaving only the basic framework of the soul. I was like a larva wrapped in a cocoon, using myself as nutrients to give birth to a new evolutionary form.

“This sounds like a fantasy, but there’s some truth to it. Do you still remember the moth-like marks on my body? I didn’t know where they came from in the past, but now I gradually understand. The moth is a follower of Azazel. I borrowed his power to evolve, so he affected me and made me carry some moth characteristics.

“And the wolf cub is my child. He has inherited the moth attribute like me. That’s why he’s born in wolf form. This is different from atavism, as we’ve guessed. Instead, the correct starting point for him is gradually evolving from a wolf cub to a true werewolf. He’ll compensate for his shortcomings in evolution like a larva breaks out of its cocoon and rebirths.

“That’s why I stopped all treatment because the drugs we gave the wolf cub are slowing down his progress. Good intentions will cause bad things and put the wolf cub in danger.

“I know you’re worried, Mother. You’ve spent more time with the wolf cub than I have as its mother. Compared to the incompetent me, the wolf cub grew up in your arms. But please believe me. This is the pain of growth that the wolf cub must experience, the price he has to pay to bear the innate superior strength.”

After hearing my explanation, my mother looked at me fixedly and suddenly cried.
