Dexter's POV:
When I heard that my mother was rescued, I felt so relieved.
Selene had taken her back using my private plane.
I rushed to see my mother, and those elders who supported me also followed.
They were happy that I didn't sign the agreement to give up the right to inherit the throne.
However, when I got to her room, my mother didn't hug me with a smile as I expected.
Instead, I found her lying in bed, unconscious.
The room was crowded with several doctors.
As they discussed my mother's condition heatedly, we had no choice but to wait outside for the time being.
I sighed in frustration.
The cause of my father's death was still unknown, and now my mother was suffering because of Austin.
All the same, I couldn't help but feel guilty.
If I had found my mother earlier, maybe she wouldn't have ended up in this position.
The elders were very angry.
