Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 124

Chapter 124: DAWN WAS HOLDING A GRUDGE
At first, Dawn didn’t know what to feel about the whole concept of the first life. She wanted to hate Zenith. She did hate him for what he had done.

However, all of her anger actually directed to her father. For what he had put her through for years. While her anger toward Zenith was irrelevant, because it was something that he didn’t do in this life, her anger toward her father was very relevant, because it happened in both lives.

Dawn didn’t want to see Zenith because she was not sure how to feel about him, but the moment she saw him and remembered all of his warnings and his efforts to make things right for them, she relented.

Dawn realized that she was not that angry to him. She was only sad because all of their problem stemmed from how he didn’t believe her and choose to blindly believe people around him.

“I will. I will make it up to you this time.” Zenith kissed her. “I will trust you no matter what.” And this time, he wanted to be in his child’s life. He wanted to be a father that his child deserved. He did not only owe it to Dawn, but also their child.

“You better remember that.”

Called her weak, but she couldn’t bring herself to stay mad at him. Those memories were very exhausting and she didn’t want to hung up onto something that had not yet happened.

“I will walk away with our child the moment you doubted me. I will not put myself through the same thing.”

“I know.” Zenith meant what he said.

That night, they spent it by holding each other and the next day, Zenith told her about what happened to Zander and how Aurel’s treatment for him.

Dawn was furious when she learned about it.

“Did she lose her mind?!” Dawn was upset, she stood up and crossed her arms. “Is the only thing he knows how to do is put someone to sleep? I am curious how she became a royal healer? Are you sure she got the status because of her merit?”

Zenith leaned back, somehow, he found it attractive to see his mate riled up like this, the little light twirled around her more active than usual.

“He got the title because it will be easier for her to stay in this continent and give me the treatment. The title of the royal healer will prevent her from disclosing the problem about my and my brother’s health.” There was a special oath that wouldn’t allow Aurel to tell a single soul without their permission about their conditions. That was why Aurel became the royal healer.

Dawn fell silence for a while, she was bit her nail whenever she was deep in her thought and only now Zenith saw this habit of hers.

“Are you sure the concoction that she gave you every month is a medicine?” Dawn was justified to have this doubt.

“I want to discuss about it with you too.” Zenith stood up and then went to the table, as he wrote down all the ingredients for his medicine. When he killed Aurel, he was privileged to her memories too. “Here.”

Dawn immediately took the parchment and skimmed through the twelve ingredients that Zenith had written down.

She smacked her lips in annoyance. “You can’t continue to drink this.”

Zenith came closer to her. “What happened? I have Celine checked on it and she said all the ingredients are fine.” Zenith had taken the precaution as well. He only wanted Dawn to know about it.

“There are two ingredients that you couldn’t mix together, because it will be a toxin.” Dawn pointed her finger at the two ingredients and then explained. While you could use them separately and these ingredients could improve your vitals, but when you used them together, it would be too much for your body.

“Could it be because that’s what my body needs?” Zenith suggested, after all his condition couldn’t be said as normal.

Dawn gave some thought about it. She furrowed her brows. She took this matter seriously. “It could be, but I think I will check on it again.”

“I am all yours to check,” Zenith whispered to her ear and Dawn hit his chest.

“I am serious.”

“Okay.”

After that, Dawn went to the king’s bedroom and met with Zander for the first time again after she regained her memories from the past and figured something unusual.

“I don’t know what Aurel’s intention is, but she put him into a deep slumber and if continued like this, Zander could fall into coma.” Dawn bit her nail and Zenith pulled her hand down to stop her from this bad habit.

“Why you didn’t say this before?” Pyro asked curiously.

Dawn glanced at Zenith. “I just remembered that.” The truth was; in her previous life, after the massacre in the north and she was sent to live in the west, she learned more about medicine and poison, she succumbed herself in order to cope with the reality.

And as her memories from the previous life returned, so did her knowledge. After all, she spent twenty years to learn about them.

But, more importantly, three decades from now, there were many medicines that had been discovered and also the benefits of many ingredients and how to make the most of them.

“Can you cure the king?” Pyro asked, because he could feel it when Dawn explained things to him, she had more knowledge than Aurel. She explained everything in detail, while the royal healer would dodge the question and looked hesitated.

Dawn smiled at the royal beta and somehow, it made Pyro felt uneasy, as if he walked into a trap or something.

“If I got the ingredients that I needed, I think I can.”

“Really?” Pyro was surprised.

“But, I want you to do something.” Called her petty, but Dawn was holding a grudge against Pyro for granted Aurel’s wish to deny her entrance.
