Chapter 501: A New Life
Selma Payne’s POV:
I didn’t know what Emma and Rhode had talked about. When I asked him, he only replied desolately, “I respect her choice.”
I knew that everything was over.
Emma boarded the plane to the Spring Rain Pack on a cool autumn morning alone. When we parted, we hugged each other. I said, “I wish you all the best, Emma.”
Emma chuckled and disappeared at the boarding gate.
“Maybe we should try harder,” Dorothy said regretfully. “No matter what.”
“But all of this is Emma’s choice, we have no right to interfere.” I shook my head. “Whether she stays or leaves, I only hope she can find true happiness.”
Rhode didn’t stay long and returned to the Shadow Pack the second day after Emma left. There were still endless government affairs waiting for him to deal with, and there was not much time left for him to be sad.
“I don’t know what happened to General Aldrich, but if you need anything, I’ll be here, Selma.”
“What do you know?” I was a little shocked.
“I don’t know anything. This is just my guess,” Rhode said. “You’re a mature and meticulous person, my sister, but you can’t hide your thoughts from your close friends. If General Aldrich were going to carry out a secret mission, you would directly express your worry, but you wouldn’t say anything about it. However, you haven’t even mentioned General Aldrich once these past few days.”
Bathing in Rhode’s worried gaze, I could only smile bitterly and say, “I’m sorry, Brother, I can’t tell you now.”
“Alright.” Rhode did not insist. He hugged me tightly. “I hope everything goes well. May the goddess bless us.”
October passed just like that, and time quietly slowed down to November.
This year, the first snow came very early. One day, when I woke, the world was already covered in white. In my daze, I suddenly recalled the day when New Flow’s power exploded. The pale-white, evil power was like the white snow, firmly wrapping the entire palace under its body.
I couldn’t help but shiver at this and completely woke up.
I didn’t know why, but I’d been listless and in a daze all day. Also, I didn’t want to eat anything. It seemed my stomach was blocked by something, and the feeling of satiety was hard to ignore.
For this reason, Craig examined me, and the result was very surprising.
When he handed me the report, his awkward expression made me uneasy. When he announced the news dryly, I immediately stiffened on the sofa.
“You’re pregnant, Your Highness.” It looked like he wanted to jump out of the window and escape immediately. “Although it’s only been a month, the test report shows you’re pregnant. However, to rule out any accidents, I suggest you do more tests to confirm if other diseases have disturbed your hormone secretion.”
Wait a moment.
What happened to me?
I was pregnant?
I looked at my abdomen in disbelief. My parents were also staring at me.
“That’s impossible,” I heard myself say. “I... I didn’t betray my marriage.”
He immediately put on an expression that said, “You don’t have to explain it to me. I don’t want to hear it. I swear.” He pretended to be deaf.
My parents immediately adjusted their expressions after the initial surprise. My mother even said, “I heard you often summoned the boy from the Woof Anca Family...”
“There’s nothing between us! I only called him here to report what I have told him to do!” I felt like I was going crazy. “Besides, it’s not confirmed that I’m pregnant yet. I think it’s a tumor or something. It can’t be a baby!”
My mother immediately showed a disapproving expression. “Don’t curse yourself like that, Selma. I’d rather that was a child.”
I immediately decided to do an ultrasound examination, or else I’d be the scapegoat for no reason!
However, the results of the examination surprised me.
I looked at the embryo marked by the doctor in disbelief and confirmed with him repeatedly.
I had no hope at all.
“It’s alright, Selma. The arrival of a new life is a good thing.” My mother consoled me, although her expression was also difficult to explain. “As for the origin of this child... That’s not important, my dear. He still has the blood of the Oromalivira Family.”
I didn’t know how to explain it, so I only vainly emphasized, “That’s impossible, I haven’t... How could I be pregnant? How could I...”
Suddenly, a conversation in the spiritual world entered my mind. What did ‘I’ say? The current New Flow was incomplete. Once I accepted the power that was supposed to belong to me and fused with it, New Flow would have its consciousness sooner or later after receiving enough nutrients...
Could this ‘child’ be the incarnation of New Flow?
