The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 473

Chapter 473: I’m Not A Beast

"You’re alive," he said with a relieved sigh. "You’re really still alive."

Primrose nodded in his arms, unwilling to let go of their embrace. The thought of almost dying was still haunting her, and she couldn’t help imagining what Edmund would have done if he had seen her die again.

"Yes... I’m alive," Primrose whispered softly.

She could feel Edmund trembling slightly as he held her. His arms wrapped around her like a warm cocoon, and she could also hear his mind filled with so many words that it became difficult for her to understand them clearly.

"Edmund..." Primrose gently patted his back, trying to bring him back to reality. "Edmund, can you hear me? I’m still alive."

She repeated those words several times until Edmund finally let go of their hug, though reluctantly. He cupped Primrose’s face with both hands and looked at her with such a sorrowful gaze.

"I thought I would lose you again," Edmund said. His eyes moved over her face and her entire body, making sure she was truly real.

Meanwhile, the people in the room slowly walked toward the door. They knew Edmund and Primrose probably needed some time alone for a while. So, they decided to wait outside until Edmund called them back in.

As soon as the door closed, Edmund hugged her once more, this time even tighter than before, until Primrose almost couldn’t breathe.

If he kept hugging her like this, she wouldn’t die from a heart attack, but from suffocation instead!

"Edmund," she finally called his name, and that alone seemed enough to bring him back to reality, since he really didn’t like it when his wife said his name like that.

But before he could speak, Primrose said, "I think... my mother saved me."

Edmund looked at her wrist and finally noticed that her bracelet had turned copper. After a moment of silence, he realized he could feel strong magic flowing through her body, filling every inch of her like water rushing through after a dam had broken.

"Is this because of the music box?" Edmund asked, unsure.

[What is wrong with that thing?] he thought in frustration. [If I’d known it was cursed, I never would have bought it.]

To be honest, Primrose didn’t understand why Edmund had spent so much money on a simple music box, especially since it ended up bringing disaster into her life.

"Not directly because of the music box, but it seems like it was one of the factors," Primrose said. "I think... I was finally able to use the key my mother gave me after I almost accidentally died because of the magic attack."

But if the music box really cast cursed magic on the people around it, why was Primrose the only one affected? What about the others?

Even Nina, who dropped the music box, was completely fine.

It felt like... the music box specifically directed the curse toward her.

"Husband, I actually just had a strange dream, a while ago" Primrose said.

Edmund loosened his hold so he could look at her better. "What kind of dream?"

Primrose bit her lower lip and fell silent for a moment, unsure of how to begin.

"I don’t really understand it, and I don’t even know whether it was just a dream or if it was truly... us." Primrose then told Edmund everything she had seen in her dream.

Just like her, Edmund also looked confused, because he truly didn’t understand what the dream meant.

"I couldn’t see your face, but... I could clearly hear your voice," Primrose said as she looked straight at him. "You sounded... sad and helpless."

Edmund stayed quiet for a while, not knowing what to say, until he finally replied, "Maybe it was just a dream mixed with what you’re going through now. You were cursed by that music box, and your subconscious created that kind of scene."

"Besides, it’s impossible for us to have met when that music box was first made," he added. "That was thousands of years ago."

Primrose pressed her lips together, then said softly, "But... do you believe in reincarnation? I mean, I went through it once. Maybe it wasn’t exactly a reincarnation since I returned to the past, but it’s still close to it."

They had even climbed the 1,000 steps of the Moon Goddess Temple, hoping they would meet again, even if they were reborn a thousand times.

What if that wasn’t the first time they had done that?

Even though she didn’t fully understand what the dream meant, the feeling in her chest still lingered, a strange mix of sadness and warmth, as if a piece of a forgotten past had quietly returned to her heart. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
