Chapter 1710: Dreaming of My Daughter

Under everyone’s gaze, Mia Lane entered the elevator with two bodyguards. She had to return immediately to develop the antidote and then personally take it to Lorelei. The situation over there was extremely urgent, hoping there would be no delay.

Even her walking pace couldn’t help but quicken.

"Madam, be careful." The two bodyguards protected her safety.

Upstairs, Carlotta Sterling was quickly wheeled out on a stretcher, her face pale, wearing oxygen. Everyone accompanied her, escorting her into the VIP ward.

Lorelei, this prosperous kingdom, seemed to be business as usual on the surface.

In the majestic and grand royal palace complex, all kinds of forces were surging beneath the surface.

The King announced the succession of the throne to Prince Louis, and more and more people started distancing themselves from Princess Catherine, trying to align with Prince Louis.

"Commander Meng, please go back. Prince Louis has been accompanying the King recently and has no time to see you." Eden blocked the doorway with an official demeanor.

"Could you please pass this little token of appreciation to him?"

"No." Eden remained stern-faced, "I’ve already turned away quite a few groups for him. It’s better for everyone to behave during times like this."

The man’s expression shifted, but given the conversation reached this point, he could only leave with his gift in slight embarrassment.

Watching the back of the man, Eden squinted his eyes slightly.

Meanwhile, Ian Shelby openly stayed by his father’s bedside, working on the antidote in the corner, as there was only enough ’plum drink’ left for one more dose.

Father’s condition was noticeably better than before. Even though he was still bedridden, without medicine, the situation might sharply deteriorate.

At least he’s not coughing up blood now, and his pulse is stable. He must maintain the status quo before his master arrives; he must develop something for him to drink first.

At this moment, the King lay on the bed, his closed eyes gently moving; he was dreaming.

He hadn’t slept peacefully for a very long time, let alone dreamed.

In the dream at this moment——

A girl in her early twenties with long flowing hair was crying helplessly in a hospital department. He didn’t know what had happened, nor why she was crying.

He followed the sound and saw doctors drawing her blood, tube after tube... The color was strikingly vivid as if they were draining her dry.

He stepped closer to the pitiful girl, gradually seeing her face clearly. In the dream, the King stopped in shock, softly calling, "Annie?"

The girl weakly turned her eyes toward him, her face pale, and the next moment, she fainted from blood loss.

"Annie!!" His chest tightened as he rushed to hold her, but the girl suddenly turned into a mist, magically disappearing before him.

Bertie stood frozen in place for a long time, incredulously watching the scene!

Soon, the surrounding environment also gradually dissipated, walls, tables, chairs... all turned into mist...

Lying on the bed, his closed eyes were still moving, moving rapidly, his mind tense, the dream continued.

When everything had disappeared, he found himself standing alone on a lawn, surrounded by an immense emptiness.

In the distance, a circle of towering trees covered in vines... as if he were in a primordial forest.

"Annie!"

"Annie!!"

He searched everywhere, calling, with no response from anyone, as if... he had been completely abandoned.

Everything just now seemed incredibly unreal.

"Annie... Annie, where are you?"

In the bedroom, Ian Shelby vaguely heard his father’s voice. He focused his gaze and paced gently towards him.

"Annie... Annie..."

He clearly heard his father calling his sister’s name, a pang of pain in his heart, as he arrived at the bedside and stood still.

"Annie..." Father still hadn’t woken up.
