Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

512 Regaining Consciousness

Selma Payne’s POV:

I wasn’t worried that my body would suffer any damage. The medical staff had all been sent out of the house, but Tracy and Master Hayley had closely monitored Aldrich and my condition. They would immediately take the emergency measures we discussed earlier if anything went wrong.

However, this feeling of being out of control still made me very uncomfortable. I hoped to be able to see everything and see every detail of this so that I could kill any unexpected factors in the bud.

Thus, my consciousness began to struggle violently. I continuously stimulated myself to return to a completely sober state. However, the pressure on me grew as Cynthia and New Flow’s entanglement grew.

Suddenly –

“Good girl, let me help you.”

A gentle female voice rang out, and I felt a sudden, violent, cold wind blow through my spiritual world. It blew the wild grass to the side, causing waves in the ocean, but it also blew away the fog that was gradually gathering, allowing the light to once again cover every corner of the field.

I suddenly opened my eyes, and only then did I realize that I had almost fallen asleep.

Fortunately, Madeline woke me up. It was strange to say that because she and I were the same person. Otherwise, I would have missed everything that happened.

The instrument that was used to detect Aldrich’s vital signs suddenly screamed. I subconsciously looked at Tracy, who was observing outside the window. Her expression was serious as she immediately pushed the door open and walked in.

At the same time, Cynthia told me, “Mother, everything has ended.”

“What?”

Before I could react, large amounts of pitch-black, viscous, oil-like blood clots suddenly gushed out of Aldrich’s seven orifices. I subconsciously wrapped myself around Tracy and Master Hayley with New Flow’s river.

Sure enough, in the next second, the blood clots began to look for its next host as if it had its consciousness. After eliminating both candidates, it finally extended its pitch-black tentacles toward me.

But guess what? I was ‘hungry’.

Thus, I unceremoniously swallowed these ‘desserts’ that had walked right into my trap, even though their taste was even weirder than I had imagined – cold and sticky, with a strong smell of sulfur and rust that was so strong that it made me want to vomit. It was like lava was mixed with blood and more disgusting than all the evil powers I had ‘eaten’ before.

And just as the blood clots gushed out of Aldrich’s body, the wildly ringing instruments gradually returned to silence.

I felt my body stiffen as I waited for the moment of judgment.

White smoke suddenly started to gather before my eyes. They gradually took shape, colored, and then transformed back into my serious yet adorable little daughter.

I looked at her and quickly looked away. I felt like I had returned to my primary school days, waiting uneasily for the teacher to reveal the report card to the public.

Finally, Cynthia’s mimicry stabilized.

“Mother,” I heard her say clearly. “It’s a success.”

It was a success.

Success...

Instantly, it was as if the mountains were falling and the seas were crashing. I felt as if the pillar supporting me all this time had collapsed. The pillars were covered in acid and thorns, hanging me above the burning fire. But now, the terrifying fire had been extinguished, and what replaced it was the soft lawn and fragrant flowers.

I fell onto the grass and felt a sense of relief and powerlessness. ‘It’s over. It’s over. There’s no need to worry or be anxious.’

I seemed to hear someone exclaiming, but before I could turn around to see who it was, my vision turned black, and I fell.

‘Aldrich.

‘Aldrich...

‘Please wake up.

‘I can’t wait any longer.

‘Please wake up slowly.

‘I wish I was the first person you saw when you opened your eyes.’

Drip, drip, drip.

The sound of water droplets falling could be heard. I was woken up from my deep dream. Accompanied by this rhythmic accompaniment, I opened my eyes again.

What I saw was Cynthia’s curious smile. Seeing I had woken up, she happily turned around and shouted, “Tracy, Master Hayley! Mother is awake!”

Then, I heard the sound of soft footsteps again. Tracy, Master Hayley, and a few nurses appeared before me.

Only then did I realize I was lying on a hospital bed.

My hazy mind instantly woke up. I abruptly sat up, grabbed Tracy’s sleeve, and anxiously asked, “Where’s Aldrich? How’s Aldrich?”

Tracy staggered after being grabbed by me, but she didn’t get angry. Instead, she smiled gently.

“Everything’s fine, Your Highness.” He moved aside and revealed the bed behind him. “Sir Aldrich’s physical indicators are rapidly recovering. I think he will wake up soon.”

On the hospital bed, Aldrich was still lying silently between the bedding. However, his face had already started to regain its color, and his breathing was more powerful than before.

I looked at all this in a daze and let the medical staff examine me. In the end, I didn’t even notice that they had left quietly.

We had succeeded. We had succeeded.

“What are you looking at?”

Just as I was in a daze, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded in my ear.

I raised my head in disbelief and met with Aldrich’s tired but bright eyes.

“It’s been a long time since we last met. Aren’t you going to hug me, my dear?”
