The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 472

Chapter 472: A Strange Dream

Primrose couldn’t clearly remember what had really happened to her. The last thing she recalled was Nina accidentally—though clearly on purpose—knocking the old music box to the floor until it shattered.

Right after that, a sharp pain stabbed through her chest, and her nose suddenly began to bleed. She also remembered Solene telling Callen to call the doctors. But before they could reach her room, Primrose had already lost consciousness.

Somewhere between sleep and darkness—she didn’t know whether it was a dream or just her imagination—she saw someone gently handing her the music box. Everything was blurry, so hazy that she couldn’t even see his face. But the music box... that, she could see clearly.

In her dream, the music box wasn’t old and worn anymore. It looked brand new, still beautiful, with pink and white paint shining softly on its surface.

"You said you always have nightmares," he suddenly said.

Primrose held her breath the moment she heard that voice. It sounded exactly like her husband.

How was that possible?

She didn’t remember her husband ever giving her that kind of music box.

"I heard that the sound of gentle music can help you fall asleep," he added.

Without realizing it, a faint smile formed on her lips. "That’s so sweet of you, General. But... my father will punish me if I bring something unholy into the temple."

What?

Which father was she talking about?

Lazarus would never punish her over something as simple as a music box. Hell, he probably wouldn’t even be angry if she burned down the entire garden by accident!

"Why don’t we just run away? I can take you away from this place," he said. His voice sounded desperate now, like he was begging, barely holding himself back from simply stealing her away from the temple.

"I can’t," Primrose—or whoever she was at that moment—replied softly. "My father said my soul is bound to this temple. If I leave, I’ll perish."

She smiled gently, like someone who had already accepted her fate. "It’s alright, General. This is my purpose. I’m here to help people wash away their sins."

"People don’t come here to wash away their sins through you," he said through gritted teeth, looking as if he was about to bite someone’s head off. "They come here to make you suffer."

"Their Gods make you suffer."

Primrose didn’t understand what he meant, but unfortunately, before she could hear the rest of their conversation, she suddenly regained consciousness.

"Your Majesty! Are you awake?!" Solene’s voice rang loudly right beside her ear. She sounded so panicked, as though she had just watched Primrose step through death’s door and somehow come back.

"Oh God, you’re finally awake!" Solene cried in relief. "Dr. Celdric, Her Majesty is awake!"

"Yes, Lady Solene," Dr. Celdric replied with a calm sigh. "I can see that too."

Dr. Alina stepped closer and spoke gently, trying to soothe her. "Lady Solene, why don’t you wait outside for a while? We’ll take care of Her Majesty."

"What? No!" Solene shook her head at once. "I can’t leave her. His Majesty told me to stay by her side, no matter what happens."

"Then please..." Dr. Alina said softly, though her tone was still firm. "Please lower your voice. Her Majesty needs peace and quiet."

Solene immediately pressed her lips together, finally realizing that she had been shouting nonstop. On the other side of the room, Nina was still standing there as well.

Her face had gone slightly pale. [Thank goodness she finally woke up! Damn it, I really thought I’d accidentally killed Her Majesty!]

[But that’s ridiculous. How could Her Majesty die just because I broke the music box? She doesn’t even have anything to do with it!]

Primrose frowned slightly, confused about why everyone seemed so panicked. Even Callen, who was standing in the corner, couldn’t stop biting his nails.

"W-What happened to me?" she asked weakly, her voice rough and shaky. She tried to sit up, but the room spun around her, so she slowly lowered herself back down.

"Please stay lying down for now, Your Majesty," Dr. Alina said, gently supporting her shoulder. "A little while ago, you lost consciousness, and your heart... your heart stopped beating for a few seconds."

"What?!" Primrose’s eyes widened in disbelief. Without thinking, she grabbed her wedding ring, certain that Edmund must have heard those words too. "H-How could that happen? Was it because of my pregnancy? Doctor, is my baby alright?"

Dr. Celdric spoke calmly, trying to reassure her. "For now, we still don’t know the exact cause. But please don’t worry, your baby is safe, Your Majesty."
