Became A Queen After divorce

She had no interest in the witchcraft her mother spoke of, even if it was the Cunningham family’s secret.

Natalia did not force Pearl, but she still hoped Pearl would inherit the Cunningham family’s legacy.

She earnestly advised her daughter, “Pearl, listen to me. If this book falls into the wrong hands, it will only bring harm. You must protect it to prevent others from having evil intentions.”

“Alright,” Pearl agreed reluctantly.

To prevent more people from being harmed by the book, Pearl decided to follow her mother’s advice and hide it.

She had been in the dungeon for quite some time. Natalia, fearing Danny might suddenly appear, reminded her daughter, “Hurry up and leave, my child. Be careful once you’re out.”

“Mommy, I don’t want to leave you,” Pearl cried as she hugged her mother tightly.

She wished she could stay here forever with her mother.

A tear silently fell on Pearl’s face, cold as rain. Natalia’s hands were tied to a wooden stake, unable to move. She could only use her chin to gently nuzzle her daughter’s head to convey her love.

“Don’t be afraid. Mommy will always be here thinking of you. My daughter-Pearl, I love you!”

She would never know how much a mother longs for her daughter, like stars longing for the moon.

Finally, she had her daughter back.

Pearl cried sorrowfully, hugging her mother tightly one last time to absorb her warmth.

“So this is what it feels like to be held by my mother. It’s so warm.”

“I have a mommy now. I will never envy other children for having their mother’s love again.”

“Mommy, promise me you’ll take good care of yourself. I will come back, and next time I will take you out of here openly.”

Not wanting her daughter to worry, Natalia nodded in agreement. “Okay.”

Parting is for a better reunion.

Pearl left with the promise of their next meeting, her lonely figure gradually disappearing from Natalia’s loving gaze.

Red lips parted, and a sorrowful voice echoed in the dungeon, “I finally saw my daughter, but God is too cruel…”

As soon as Pearl left, a shadowy figure appeared near the study.

The mysterious woman watched Pearl’s departing figure thoughtfully for a few seconds before revealing a mocking smile.

“Appearing at the villa in the dead of night and coming out of the study… Let’s see what Pearl is up to.”

In the dark night, Pearl did not notice she was being followed.

Her mind was filled with images of her mother suffering in the dungeon, and she was anxious to rescue the little boy from the stable.

Fortunately, Gilliam Mansion was large enough, and at this hour, the servants were asleep. She quickly made her way through the villa to the stable without any obstacles.

As soon as she arrived, she heard crying from inside the stable.

“Big brother, please don’t sleep… Don’t leave me alone.”

Pearl’s mind went blank with fear. “It’s Sasha!”

She quickened her pace and ran over.

Inside the stable, the little boy had fainted from excessive blood loss. Sasha sat beside him, crying incessantly.

Her small hands kept pushing the boy’s shoulders, trying to wake him up.

“Move aside; I brought the keys.”

Pearl hurriedly took out the keys to unlock the chains. But whether due to nervousness or too many keys, she couldn’t find the right one quickly.

Seeing more blood flowing from the boy’s body, Pearl was sweating profusely and trembling uncontrollably.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

She bit her lip and focused on his delicate face, praying aloud, “Little one, please don’t sleep. Your sister is back; you’ll be saved soon.”

“This is my first promise to someone; you can’t make me break it.”

“Big brother… Sasha is scared too. Please don’t die.”

Perhaps hearing their cries, the boy’s eyelashes fluttered as he regained consciousness.

He used all his strength to open his eyes. In front of him were Sasha and Pearl-she really came back!

She didn’t lie; she came back to save him!

For the first time in his life, he felt cared for by someone.

He suddenly wanted to live on and repay them someday.

His strong will to survive kept him awake. He weakly said, “Sasha, don’t cry. Brother is here… I won’t leave you.”

“Really? Big brother, you have to keep your word; otherwise, you’ll be a puppy, and I won’t talk to you anymore!”

As she spoke in her childish voice, a tear fell from Sasha’s eye like a pearl.

It wet her eyelashes, making her look like a pitiful kitten.

The boy couldn’t help but lean over and kiss her face, tasting the tear on his lips. “Tears don’t taste good.”

Meanwhile, Pearl finally found the right key and unlocked the chain with a twist-success!

Overjoyed, she removed the iron lock from his ankle and threw it aside angrily. “This harmful thing shouldn’t exist!”

Clang-the metal hit the ground with a clear sound, announcing his newfound freedom.

His injuries were too severe for him to walk. Pearl had no choice but to carry him on her back. “Get on; I’ll take you to the hospital.”

“But…”

He was nine years old; could Pearl carry him?

“No buts. Don’t worry; I’m not that weak.”

Not wanting to waste time, Pearl grabbed his hand and hoisted him onto her back.

But carrying him meant she couldn’t hold Sasha’s hand. She looked at the little girl with concern. “Sasha… Can you hold onto my sleeve?”

Sasha smiled understandingly. “I can walk by myself. Don’t worry about me; take big brother to the hospital first.”

“Alright, stay close and don’t get lost.”

There were snakes in this flower field. She walked cautiously, especially with two delicate children in tow.

To save time, Pearl decided not to take the secret passage but walk through Gilliam Mansion openly.

Even if it meant facing her biological father!
