Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen-Chapter 643 In The Meantime

643 In The Meantime

Yarin's POV:

In our boring life of recuperating, we were naturally grateful to have someone to accompany us. However, Aunt Teresa had other motives. She was concerned about our health and mood with a smile but always glanced at the door and window.

Who was she waiting for? Probably Lily.

What was worse was that Lily had been lured to the hospital by Heller. If she came in like this, she would bump into Aunt Teresa.

Heller and I exchanged glances. I would deal with the guests while he played the role of a weak boy who couldn't do anything. He focused on controlling the sparrow to take Lily away.

"When you and your brother are better, you can transfer to the Silver Moon Family's private sanatorium. The environment there is better. There are also some animals, such as peacocks and swans. You can even feed them. I heard that children nowadays like these…"

Aunt Teresa kept introducing Silver Moon's private sanatorium. It sounded much better than a hospital. However, if I had to accept such fairness every day, the hospital would be more comfortable.

She looked at her phone occasionally and put it down in disappointment because there was no news. Then, she began to test me to see if I knew where Lily was.

"I have to say, you are very brave, Your Highness. Not to mention children, even adults might not dare to go deep into the enemy camp alone, let alone wipe them out! The hospital would have been filled with reporters if it wasn't for the Queen suppressing the news.

"Actually, it's just right now," I said. "Heller and I are both injured. We don't want to be disturbed too much. As for the garbage station, I could only say I had sent some information. In fact, most of the work was done by the police and soldiers. They even saved me."

I lowered my head shyly. "Actually, now that I think about it, my actions were reckless. If I had spread the news a second later, the outcome of the matter might have been a 180° reversal."

Aunt Teresa smiled kindly. "Those are all 'ifs'. They will never happen. The person before me now is undoubtedly a little hero." 𝙗𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎

Heller suddenly coughed twice, which indicated that the sparrow had already left with Lily.

Aunt Teresa immediately showed concern for his health and called the doctor to examine him. She took the opportunity to make a call. From her expression, the result should not be satisfactory.

I pretended not to know anything and asked, "What's wrong, Aunt Teresa? You look a little anxious."

She answered with a wry smile, "It's Lily. She's gone, again.""

"I heard from Alfred that she's been staying at home?"

"Yes, she should have, but this child might really hate us from the bottom of her heart, so she doesn't want to stay for a moment."

"Perhaps this is not bad. Lily is already sixteen years old. In ancient times, she would have been mature enough to take responsibility. You should give her more chances, Aunt Teresa. She prefers freedom to restraint."

Aunt Teresa didn't find it strange that I was on Lily's side. Instead, she seemed happy. "Is that so? I can try, but I still have to find her first. It's not safe outside. I'm afraid something really happened to her.

"I heard from Lily that the two of you have become friends. I know that friends have to keep secrets from each other but treat it as a helpless mother begging you. Your Highness, do you know where Lily might have gone? Did she ever tell you about the places she liked?"

'I don't know. Heller knows. I will know after you leave.'

But I just said, "Sorry, ma'am. Lily has told us many things about human society but never mentioned this. I don't know where she could be."

Aunt Teresa stayed for a long time before leaving because something had happened at the manor. It was not true. It was a trap set up by her mother.

She used herself as bait to lure out some hidden criminals, most likely related to the Moonlight Festival incident or the car accident.

Aunt Teresa left in a hurry.

After she left, I couldn't wait to ask Heller where Lily was. He had sent Lily back to the manor.

"Everyone thought Lily had run away, but we sent her back. They wouldn't find her even if they searched the entire Silver Moon. Who would have thought Lily was only a few floors away from them?"

"You're a genius!" I pounced over and hugged him, careful not to touch the wound on his chest. "Aunt Teresa said that people were going to evacuate from the manor to other places. This is very good, and no one will find out!"

Lily was safe. I began to think about other problems, such as the new criminals.

Could they be the culprits of the Moonlight Festival incident and the car accident?

Could they be related to that 'cadre'?
