Chapter 723

Silver:

As soon as I finished, I turned to face the crowd.

“All hail Lady Silver!” another woman shouted, and the crowd bowed to me once

again.

I raised a hand, signaling for them not to do that, as though I wasn’t seeking their praise.

In reality, that was exactly what I wanted.

The expressions on Elgin’s and Lady Greta’s faces were almost amusing.

No, they were satisfying.

Now they only had to wait ten minutes before everyone realized I really was special.

During that time, I stayed with the woman, speaking to her gently and trying to reassure her.

Elgin had quietly moved to the corner of the stage as the news spread.

Cameras surrounded us, the very ones he had called in.

Now, every single one of them was focused on me.

“It seems Luna Silver has turned out to be a truly remarkable woman. Thanks to her, our children may finally be able to sleep, and parents won’t have to go to work exhausted every morning,” one of the reporters announced during a live broadcast.

I simply raised a hand in a calm, graceful gesture, silently telling him there was no need to make such a fuss.

“Lady Luna Silver, how are you feeling? Your husband has proven to be a man who couldn’t forgive his wife for a single mistake.”

The reporter called out from below the stage.

My head immediately turned toward Elgin.

His jaw was clenched so tightly that the muscles twitched.

I didn’t answer.

I wasn’t going to say much. I was going to let the tears work their magic.

Then came the moment of truth.

Ten minutes passed.

The little girl didn’t need to be woken. She remained peacefully asleep.

The crowd gasped in amazement. People nodded to one another, convinced it had worked.

Then the little girl coughed in her sleep.

“I think the tear went down the wrong way,” I said, trying to remain calm.

But the coughing only grew worse. It became harsher and harsher until she suddenly vomited blood.

The crowd gasped.

I looked around before locking eyes with my father.

He knew the tears had worked on my daughters.

So what the fuck was happening?

“Wait—maybe that bottle was old,” I said, panic creeping into my voice. “I have another one.”

I pulled out a second bottle.

Another woman rushed onto the stage.

“Give it to my daughter.”

There was no pleading in her voice.

She was demanding it.

“My daughter will wake up in one minute.”

She stared me straight in the eye.

I couldn’t blame her.

The first woman was panicking as her daughter continued vomiting blood,

occasionally glaring at me with growing anger.

The rest of the crowd was becoming restless too.

She hadn’t awakened her daughter because she had trusted my claim, and no the

little girl was throwing up blood.

I quickly gave the second woman’s daughter drops from the new bottle.

More people rushed toward the stage.

“Wait a minute. I’ll help everyone,” I said.

But inside, I was panicking.

In the back of my mind, I couldn’t understand what had gone wrong.

Why the fuck hadn’t the bottle worked?

Was it only that one bottle?

I continued administering the drops while my father did the same for the others.

By then, we had given the tears to nearly twenty children.

Three minutes later, chaos erupted.

Not a single child had been healed.

“What the fuck is going on?”

The women whose children were now coughing up blood began screaming at me.

“I’m not sure. It was supposed to work. Look, it worked on my

daughters,” I said, trying to puta

much distance between them and myself as possible

My father gestured for the warriors to step forward.

They quickly formed a barrier between me and the crowd because it looked like they

were ready to attack at any moment.

“It was supposed to work,” I muttered in confusion.

Then my eyes landed on Kaylee, and I hated how happy she looked.

It was as if all the fear and panic she had felt only minutes earlier had completely disappeared.

The situation became so chaotic that Elgin had to step in and wake the children himself.

The warriors helped as well, while the doctors ordered that the children be taken to the hospital.

The chaos continued for the next twenty minutes.

During that time, I went through

every stage of despair, unable to et

“Do you think someone replaced the bottle of tears?” my father asked as he approached me and I shrugged.

“I’m not sure. I can’t even tell them to

they won’t work,” I mukhead.

pressing a hand to my forehead.

I paced back and forth.

calm down.

Once all the children had been taken away, Elgin finally motioned for everyone to
