The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 334

Chapter 334: The Wrong Path

[Why am I like this? Why am I like this?] Primrose stopped in her tracks as she suddenly heard Lorelle’s cries echoing in her heart. [I didn’t mean to hurt them ....]

Primrose wanted to listen further, but Leofric and Edmund had already taken her out of the house, leading her into the front yard.

When she and Edmund sat down on a wooden bench, Leofric spoke to the maid. "You can take the day off. I’ll look after my sister today." He pressed a few gold coins into her hand. "Share this with Miss Gia and Dr. Abell."

The middle-aged maid—whose name turned out to be Susan—nodded, then called the other women so they could leave the house.

Primrose didn’t even need to read their thoughts to know how happy they all were to finally go home early.

"I’m sorry, wife. You had to witness Lady Lorelle’s anger earlier." Edmund observed her face, checking carefully to make sure no glass shards had hurt her. "Before her illness, she was never like this."

"There’s nothing wrong with Lorelle," Leofric corrected as he walked toward them.

Edmund glanced at him but said nothing in return, not wanting to argue.

"She’s just tired, that’s all." Leofric sat down on the trunk of a fallen tree, lowering his head for a moment.

Deep down, he knew something was wrong with Lorelle. That was one of the reasons he had asked Primrose to trick her mind.

"She ... she didn’t mean to be rude to you both." Primrose finally spoke. "Just like you said, she’s only tired."

[I think this is my fault too,] Edmund spoke in his mind so Leofric wouldn’t hear. [Since last year, I’ve rarely visited her. I was too busy with the kingdom’s endless demands after the humans started securing political ties with the beasts.]

[But besides that, it hurt to watch her fade away day by day.] He sighed inwardly. [I never spoke much with her even before, but she always laughed and chatted happily with Leofric. She used to have such a bright spirit.]

Unfortunately, her illness had stolen that joy. Edmund understood it, but because he struggled to express his feelings, he worried his coldness only made Lorelle angrier.

In the end, he only gave Leofric money to take care of her and let him be the one to accompany her, since Leofric never had any trouble communicating with Lorelle.

Primrose slipped her fingers between Edmund’s, gently holding his hand to ease the weight in his heart.

It was truly a curse, not being able to speak properly to the point that he couldn’t even build a good relationship with his own sister.

"What happened to her?" Primrose asked softly.
