Chapter 31

Standing at the door of the ward dela and Ray was placed in, I saw Ryan rushing over. I knew immediately what she came to confirm.

'It seems someone can't hold his tongue,' I thought as I looked at Damien.

When he saw me looking at him he gave me a smile, which confirmed my thought. Shaking my head slightly, then I tilted my head to Ryan's direction.

Immediately she saw that her kids had been cured, she broke down in tears but this time, it was as clear that she was happy as she couldn't hide it.

She went to her kids and hugged both of them while shedding tears of joy.

"We are fine mummy, do you think kids like us can die?" dela said.

I knew her daughter was simply trying to console her but it seems like she couldn't help it.

After a few seconds passed, she finally stopped crying, then she wiped her tears away and asked the one close to her a question.

"Who helped me cure the poison on their body if it's not the doctor?"

"It's Aiden, he arranged everything." Damien said plainly.

She looked at me with a bit of shock in her eyes, with the look in her eyes, it seems like she wasn't expecting me to be able to do something about what she was facing at that time.

After some time, her gaze landed on Queen who was by my side. As I looked at her, I could see that the way she was looking at Queen only meant one thing, she was fuming. Reason, I don't know but rather than stress my brain thinking about that i just shook it off.

'Whatever the case maybe, it's not my problem.' I thought to myself.

Anger could be seen in my eyes as Ryan looked at Queen, but it seems she was able to calm herself down. She looked at me and said, "thank you, without you, they wouldn't be…"

"You don't need to thank me, it's what I should do since you are my mate." I said, thereby cutting her off. I don't really need her thanks, I just need to keep her around, but the fact that she was happy still made a slight smile appear on my face.

Suddenly I felt the atmosphere become tense again, and when I looked at Ryan once again, I noticed that she was staring at Queen with blazing eyes.

Just as the tension was becoming unbearable, a doctor came in, which made me sighed in relief.

The doctor noticed the tense atmosphere in the room but he didn't seem to care as he walked to the bed.

He ran a few compulsory checks on the kids to make sure there are no traces of the poison left In their body.

"They are cured and well, you can discharge them at any time of your choosing." the doctor said as he faced me.

"Okay, is it possible for it to come back?" Ryan asked.

"Yes, it is indeed possible but not in your case as I've made sure there's no remnant of the poison in their body again." he reported before leaving the ward.

A smile couldn't help but appear on Ryan's face as she was elated by the report the doctor gave her which in turn made me feel a slight warmth in my heart.

'What is wrong with me? You shouldn't be feeling this way. Aiden.' I said in my mind.

Soon the discharge papers were signed and she made her way out of the hospital with me, Damien and Queen.

Getting to the mansion, "Aiden, with what happened to my kids today, I can't take any risk. Please test all.the food in this mansion and make sure there's no poison of any sort in any of the food because it will be bad if one of us eats it and invests the poison in the process." I requested.

"Don't worry, I've arranged everything." Aiden replied.

Immediately I finished what I was saying, the people I had contacted for the job entered the mansion with different tools on their hands. I had arranged this the moment I found out the kids had been cured, I knew a clear search in the mansion was compulsory, in order to avoid further incidents like this from happening.

I gave them a nod and the people began the process, they checked everything, from the food to the clothing and the materials in the mansion.

After a few hours had passed, one of the men came to me, "sir, there's no poison in your mansion."

My eyes shot up immediately as I looked at the man in front of him. "what did you say?"

Seeing the anger in my eyes, the man's leg went weak and it took him all the strength he could muster to stand straight as he looked at me with fear in his eyes.

"There's no poison in the mansion." the man repeated.

"how?" was the question on everyone's mind except for one.

"check again, make sure nothing is left unturned." I ordered, as I couldn't believe what I was hearing from the man.

A few hours passed once again, and the man came with the same report. No matter how many times they did it, it was the same report I got.

I noticed Ryan leaving with Yena at this moment but I didn't think much of it, still I kept glancing their way until stopped as it felt wrong to do that.

Seeing that the result is the same, they began to clean the mansion and arrange it just the way it was.

By the time Ryan got back, the mansion had been neatly arranged once again and it now Looked like before.

Immediately she came back, Queen said. "If the kids suffered from poison as you said, wouldn't it be done by only the person close to the kids?"

These words made me raise my eyebrow. 'What is she trying to do now?' I thought to myself as I glanced at Ryan to see her reaction but she didn't show any. She just waited there in silence.

"What do you mean by that?" Damien spoke first as he couldn't take the suggestive tone in Queen's voice, thereby giving Ryan no reason to say anything.
