The smile on Freya's face disappeared instantly. She stared blankly at Bradley, her eyes filled with fear and unease.

"What's wrong with Xin Yao?"

The man's hand slowly landed on her waist and clasped it tightly, allowing her to lean all her weight on him.

After a long while, he finally spoke, "Ling Ran sprinkled poison on Xin Yao's diaper. Xin Yao had been crying non-stop some time ago. Patrick was so worried that he contacted me to explain the situation. So I asked Sean to come over and examine her condition. As a result... we found out that Xin Yao had been poisoned chronically!"

He spoke in a calm tone, but his eyes were fixed deeply on her face, not missing any slightest change in her expression.

Freya's emotions changed from initial unease to anger, and now to numbness. Her heart was undergoing intense struggles.

Finally, she said in a hoarse voice, "What's the situation now?"

"The toxicity has been controlled, and Sean is also researching the antidote. However..." Here, the man's voice paused.

Freya's heart also tightened.

Then she heard the man continue, "Sean said that the antidote may have strong side effects, which may lead to cerebral palsy and cause intellectual disabilities."

Upon hearing this, Freya felt completely weak.

If it hadn't been for Bradley holding her up, she would have collapsed to the ground long ago.

She leaned against the man's embrace, her pupils dull and gray.

Xin Yao had been fine before she left. How could she have been poisoned all of a sudden?

Cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities?

No!

Xin Yao was the hope of her master. How could anything unexpected happen to her?

Freya, her emotions running high, grabbed Bradley's shirt and cried hoarsely, "I want to go back to the palace to see how Xin Yao is doing."

It was precisely because he knew she might not be able to bear it that Bradley had chosen to tell her everything in such a situation.

Unexpectedly, she still lost her composure because of this.

"Okay. We'll go back to Solterra early tomorrow morning. After Xin Yao's condition stabilizes, we'll deal with the matter of the underground laboratory." Bradley stroked her back gently. Every time he saw her cry, his heart ached as if it was going to suffocate.

Since this woman had entered his world, the trajectory of his life had deviated. Her tears could even make all his rationality crumble, and he wished he could bear all her pain and suffering instead of her.

"I'm tired. Carry me on your back!" After crying, Freya's nose was stuffed, and her heart felt empty.

Bradley immediately bent down, and Freya climbed onto his back directly, pressing her face against his strong and slender back.

The two of them didn't speak on the way. It was only when they reached the gate of the palace that she mumbled, "Husband, I don't blame you."

She naturally knew why Bradley had hidden the fact that Xin Yao was poisoned. He was worried that it would disturb her state of mind and affect the whole plan of capturing the Lady.

He just didn't want her to worry. If she blamed him for this, how self-blaming would he be?

Bradley's body stiffened slightly, but he quickly returned to normal and continued walking.

In the dim night, a faint smile curved the corners of the man's mouth!

"Don't be sad. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you."

……

The next morning.

Freya went to Queen Sally's bedroom to say goodbye.

"Freya, why didn't you sleep a little longer? What are you doing up so early?" Queen Sally had just woken up and finished washing. Seeing Freya, she was slightly taken aback.

Freya approached and sat down beside her.

"Master, I'm here to say goodbye to you."

She hadn't slept all night last night. Her mind was full of the image of Xin Yao suffering, and her heart ached terribly.

She got up before dawn. After thinking it over, she called Madeline to ask about the situation.

Only after confirming that Xin Yao was fine at the moment did Freya heave a sigh of relief.

"According to Xila's confession, the Lady may have already escaped from Stolan. She still has the formula for the Beast Venom in her hands. If this person isn't captured, the whole world won't be at peace."

If it weren't for the matter of Xin Yao, she would have wished to fly to the underground laboratory right away and destroy Bai Zhanwang's lair.

Queen Sally held her hand and patted it gently. "The Lady is an extremely cunning person. You must be careful when handling things."

"Don't worry, master. She won't be able to escape."

After saying that, Freya didn't stay any longer and said goodbye.

Xin Yao's situation was like a time bomb. She had to go back and check on it as soon as possible to feel at ease.

When she left the bedroom, Freya met Earl Wuying who was hurrying over and nodded to him.

Earl Wuying returned the greeting as well. "Your Majesty, Queen of Solterra."

Freya nodded and said, "Now that Stolan has been stabilized and the poison in your body has been removed, Earl, I hope you can help my master well and prevent Stolan from being thrown into turmoil again."

Earl Wuying said sincerely, "Don't worry. I made a mistake once, and I will never make the same mistake again."

Freya smiled faintly and walked towards the main gate.

Bradley's plane was already prepared. Blue Book drove the two of them to the private airstrip. After getting on the plane, Freya still stood by the window, looking down at the whole of Stolan.

This was the country that Xin Yao would rule in the future. Naturally, she hoped that it would remain prosperous and thriving for a long time.

Of course, in a few years, she would also present her master with an excellent heir!

Just as she was thinking, a large hand gently hugged her from behind. The familiar male scent filled the air, and the man's deep voice was like magic.

"Xin Yao is our daughter and the future Queen of Stolan. Her birth is destined to be extraordinary, and she will definitely get through this disaster safely." Bradley rested his chin on her shoulder, gently rubbing her skin, causing bursts of shivers.

Freya turned around and hugged him tightly in return. "Yes, we've overcome all the hardships and difficulties. Xin Yao will definitely be fine."

Bradley kissed her forehead and said in a hoarse voice, "I have some good news. Do you want to hear it?"

"Sure!"

"Just received the news that Yun Xiangcheng and Mi Luo have also recovered. They will be back in Solterra to meet us in a few days."

Freya was delighted upon hearing this. "This is the best news I've heard recently."

"When Yun Xiangcheng comes back, with him in the medical room, we can focus on the matter of the underground laboratory. Then you sisters can also be reunited." Bradley used his fingers to lift her soft hair, releasing a faint fragrance.

He knew that she hadn't slept all night last night.

He also knew that she had stood by the window watching the rain all night.

He knew even more about the guilt in her heart. After all, she hadn't been able to stay by Xin Yao's side when she was in the most difficult situation. Freya was a passionate and righteous woman. She treated her friends like that, not to mention that Xin Yao was her own daughter.

Thinking of this, his love and pity for her became even more uncontrollable, and the strength of his embrace involuntarily tightened a bit.

"Trust me, everything will be okay!"

"I trust you."

Freya smiled.
