Chapter 360
360 Weeds Never Die
Selma Payne’s POV:
Even though I hadn’t enjoyed my mother’s meticulous doting for a long time, now that I was also a mother, it was better not to be laughed at for such a childish thing as fighting for love with my child.
Earl of Marlowe tacitly agreed to how the Evaria family members were dealt. As my father had said, this old man who had given his life to the werewolves might be arrogant and greedy for power, but the fact that he could get to where he was today showed that he was a clear-minded character.
Half a month later, Benson sent us a message. It was not about the pack or the Evaria Family but an unexpected guest.
The mobile patrol team was in charge of inspecting all packs in the werewolf territory, so it was customary for them to go to the new Spring Rain Pack.
However, it was strange to find a wizard there.
If this wizard claimed to be Dorothy’s father, it would be even stranger.
When I first received the news, my first reaction was disbelief. Dorothy’s parents had been living in seclusion for so many years that even their daughter couldn’t get any of their attention. Why did they suddenly have to visit a newly rising little pack at the border?
Dorothy had accompanied me to many public events, and her mixed-blood identity was no longer a big secret. Who knew if someone was trying to use this opportunity to trick her?
The first thing I thought of was the Evaria Family. This might be another one of their schemes.
However, the photo that Benson sent me next overturned all my conjectures. The man in the picture looked the same as Dorothy’s father, who was in her only family portrait.
This was not too easy to conclude. After thinking about it, I still told Dorothy about it.
To my surprise, Dorothy reacted very calmly. She didn’t show any anger or sadness. She just asked calmly, “What is he doing here?”
I couldn’t tell if she was calm or pretending to be calm, so I tried to speak as softly as possible, “He won’t tell Benson. He wants to see me.”
“If he wants to see you, then go ahead. He must have been living in seclusion in the Elf Forest. Maybe he has some important information that no one knows about.”
“You don’t mind?”
“Why would I mind? He wanted to see you, not me.”
Looking at Dorothy’s calm and emotionless eyes, I suddenly realized that I might have said something wrong. Her father, who had been missing for more than twenty years, suddenly appeared not to see his daughter. Anyone would feel uncomfortable if they were that daughter!
“Don’t be nervous. I don’t mind at all.” Dorothy laughed out loud and suddenly lifted the corner of my tightly-pursed lips. “Whether it’s my father or mother, they’re no different from strangers to me. The few memories of my childhood are already too fuzzy. If he didn’t suddenly appear today, I wouldn’t even remember that I have a father.
“Not to mention them, even my impression of grandmother has faded. I’ve been getting busier and busier in recent years, and I’ve been visiting her less and less often. Every time, I’ll only be there for a few minutes to listen to the doctor talk about her condition. It’s good enough to know that she’s living a good and peaceful life.
“The pain of being abused has faded, so how excited can a strange man I’ve never met make me?”
I didn’t know what to say. Dorothy’s relief at this moment made me feel relieved, but at the same time, I also felt lost. She was such a good girl. Why must fate give her such a cold past?
In short, I’d decided to meet this ‘father’ who had suddenly appeared.
Benson quickly escorted Dorothy’s father to the Lycan pack. The middle-aged wizard named Cage did not fit the evil image of a fairy tale at all. He looked ordinary, but there was a kind of youth that did not match his age. It was as if time had not taken away any of his vitality but had frozen his age in the photo.
My parents and I met him in secret, but Dorothy did not come.
“Greetings, Your Majesties and your Royal Highness. I, Cage Doloria, a foreigner, am here to greet you.”
“Hello, Mr. Doloria.” My father gestured for him to take a seat. “What urgent matter did you have that you had to come and see us for?”
“Your Majesty, I have a very important piece of information that I must tell you about the group of wanderers who fled in the Elf Forest a few months ago.”
When we heard that it was about the wanderers, we immediately took it seriously. The wanderers within the werewolf territory had been scattered again. Could the two or three of them that had fled outside the borders have done something?
“They brought a very dangerous concentrated evil power, and several cities have fallen. Thanks to the help of the werewolf pack, the disaster was stopped.”
Cage continued, “But the crisis didn’t end when we thought it was over. It has been lurking in the shadows. Just half a month ago, a group of wanderers had suddenly attacked the Elven Capital City, trying to pollute the city with the same thing as before. Although the pollution is under control, tragedies still occur, and the most important symbol of the elves, the Mother Tree of Nature, has been attacked and lost an extremely precious thick branch. ”
