Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 252: To Destroy A Man’s Heart (II)

The white rabbit sighed, "There is no point in talking to an upset little wolf. Calm yourself here, then you can go back to your wife after you calmed down. Remember, she is gentle and has a soft and self-sacrificing nature, almost like an angel. Screaming at her will only make her feel like dying."

The white rabbit hopped back to the moon, leaving Gale alone at the frozen lake.

Gale scoffed, "Why do I have to care for her fragile heart when she doesn’t care for mine?"

"Princess, you need to eat something! You haven’t eaten or drunk since morning!" Myra insisted as she was worried about her fragile Princess.

"Yes, Princess. Please remember that you might be pregnant right now, remember your baby!" Maya added, and the unresponsive Swan, who had been lying on her bed for more than twenty-four hours since Gale left the castle, finally turned her head.

Her eyes were red and puffy since she kept crying for the whole night, and all she did was either caressing her belly or playing with the pearl necklace on her neck.

"Has he returned to the castle?" Swan asked weakly.

Maya and Myra looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

"His Majesty might be taking a rest somewhere out there, Princess. Please, at least drink this water and eat a piece of bread. Aren’t you worried about your baby?’

...

Swan had no appetite as her worry far exceeded her hunger. She did feel thirsty, but she still had no strength to drink anything.

She kept thinking about her husband and worried that he might never return after knowing the truth.

But when the cat maids mentioned her baby, she finally moved to sit on the bed, before drinking a glass of water and eating a piece of plain bread.

She ate very slowly, and the cat maids simply couldn’t leave her alone as they were worried their beloved Princess would stop eating if they stopped watching over her.

"It’s been a day since he left. What if he doesn’t come home anymore?" Swan muttered as she ate the bread. "What if he decides to just leave because he doesn’t want me anymore?"

Swan had long accepted her fate. Gale must’ve been furious about her betrayal, and she had been wearing the pearl necklace in case she would die today. She wanted to wear the most beautiful gift her husband gave her at her last moment.

Swan didn’t mind dying, but what about their baby?

If she was truly pregnant, then this baby would die too if he killed her.

If he decided to just abandon her, then what about this baby?

Would their baby be born without ever knowing who the father is?

There were so many bad possibilities spawning in her head, making her excessively paranoid and making her lose her appetite.

"I’m done," Swan said as she handed the piece of bread to the cat maids.

"Princess, you’ve only taken two bites! That’s not enough!"

"Please just eat this one, Princess. We’re begging you!"

...

Swan was unresponsive and she refused to eat, which distressed Myra and Maya even more.

"Put the food on the table and I will feed her."

Everyone in the room turned their heads simultaneously towards the window and saw the Beast King sitting on the windowsill. Gale had worn his blindfold once again, and his face showed extreme fatigue, even though he couldn’t physically get tired.

He hopped off from the window and calmly walked towards the bed, but the cat maids knew it was calm before the storm, so they put the food tray on the table before excusing themselves.

As the cat maids closed the door, Gale and Swan stared at each other for a good minute, before he took a plate of cheese, bread, and sausage, and sat at the edge of the bed.

There was nothing but dead silence between them. Gale picked a piece of sausage and fed it to Swan’s mouth.

Unfortunately, Swan didn’t open her mouth. She kept staring at her husband with a complicated gaze, unsure of what to do or say in this situation.

"Eat," Gale said crudely as he shoved the food on her lips. "You are pregnant. You’ll kill our child if you don’t eat."

...

Swan reluctantly opened her mouth and ate the bread very slowly while staring at Gale.

Gale waited until she finished eating that piece of bread before taking the sausage and said again, "You need to eat this too. Our baby will be a beastman like me, and needs a lot of meat to grow healthy."

Swan obediently ate the meat, albeit even slower than eating the bread just now.

Once she was done swallowing the sausage, she asked in a weak and defeated voice, "You’re not going to kill me?"

...

Gale ignored her. He took another piece of bread and shoved it to her lips, but Swan didn’t want to eat anything right now.

"Eat."

"Can you wait until our baby is born before you kill me?"

"I said, eat."

"I might’ve betrayed you, but our baby is innocent. Please let it live, okay?"

"We can talk after you eat."

"I... I don’t know how to defend myself, but Rock and I are—"

"DAMN IT, SWAN! STOP TALKING!" Gale snapped as his patience was already at its limit. He currently had a lot on his mind and was trying his best to hold back his rage.

Yet, Swan kept talking over and over about getting killed, as if she believed he would actually do that to his beloved.

Gale took a deep breath to suppress his overpowering aura. It was too difficult to hold his rage, even though he had been spending the whole night at the frozen lake to calm down.

Swan went quiet instantly, and lowered her head, "I... I don’t know how to handle this, Gale. I’m so scared since I know you will not listen to my explanation." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"I don’t need any god-forsaken explanation from you. The letter told me enough of your betrayal," Gale said coldly.
