Chapter 250
The time between Michael going to prison and Daisy’s birth were such a whirlwind of activity that the
months practically flew by. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Ethan and Kelly wound up being transferred to a mental health facility. I think that was better for them
in the long run, as the things that they did were ultimately the result of Michael’s brainwashing. I didn’t
hold any grudges against them; in fact, Edrick and I visited them on a monthly basis, and the
medication and therapy that they went through seemed to be helping a bit.
Of course, Kelly could never get over her obsession with Edrick. Nor could Ethan get over his
obsession with me. It was very likely that they would spend years in that place, but at least we could
have somewhat normal conversations with them when we went to visit.
Michael, however, had no visitors and I didn’t feel the least bit bad about it. Verona eventually finalized
her divorce with him, and she got most of his money as well as the house. She became the matriarch
of the Morgan family, and over the next six months we went to countless wonderful parties hosted by
Verona where there was no drama or fighting. It felt good to finally have a chance to enjoy attending
those sorts of parties without judgment or hatred.
My status as the Golden Wolf was quickly discovered by the public. There were, of course, some fringe
groups who wanted me dead, but they had no way of killing the Golden Wolf now that the knife was
gone. Thanks to what happened at the cliff, the future generations of the Golden Wolf would be allowed
to live and continue to create peace in the world.
I continued teaching at the school, and split my time with the orphanage and the Humanity’s Reach
Initiative as well. I was on track to become the next headmistress at the school someday, but I still
didn’t know if that was what I wanted. Countless humanitarian organizations were still begging me to
work for them, and the prospect of trying something new was exciting to me.
Since I continued teaching, I only volunteered for these organizations instead. On more than one
occasion, Edrick accused me of doing too much and not getting enough rest. I just laughed at him
because I knew that the baby and I could handle it. We had been through so much before, and the
volunteering that I was doing was making the world a better place.
Edrick continued being the WereCorp CEO, but he was much different after the events at the mountain
estate. He became more fair toward his human employees, and even went so far as to purchase
Sophia’s orphanage. He donated money to other local orphanages, and the two of us quickly became
known as the biggest philanthropists in the city.
On Christmas, we even threw a massive charity gala that beat a record for the most amount of money
raised toward humanitarian organizations. It was of course run by the Humanity’s Reach Initiative,
which had grown immensely since we joined and put in our efforts.
The two of us were happy together. We didn’t have to hide our relationship from anyone — not even
ourselves. In the penthouse, we were a little family. We didn’t get engaged, though, but that was okay
with me. I was just excited to meet our daughter.
I was lying on the couch after a long day of teaching and going to public events when I felt it. Selina
had just given me a good scolding for overexerting myself so close to my due date, and now I was
reading a book with a sandwich and a cup of tea sitting on the coffee table.
Suddenly, I felt something strange.
“Um… Selina?!” I called out. I dropped my book and stood, my eyes widening at the large wet spot left
behind on the couch.
Selina came running, and her eyes widened as well.
“Did your…” Her voice faded and she clamped her hand over her mouth.
I nodded slowly, both excited and terrified out of my mind. “My water broke. Daisy is on the way.”
Edrick and I decided to name the baby Daisy. Daisy Anne Morgan… Someday, I would tell her how her
big sister picked that name out, and it was the prettiest and most special name I had ever heard.
The contractions began soon after my water broke.
Selina was on the phone with Edrick and was telling him to get home when I felt the first one. I let out a
loud groan and practically doubled over from the pain as I gripped the back of the couch with white
knuckles.
“Mom?” Ella asked, tugging on my skirt. “Are you alright?”
I nodded and swallowed, feeling myself already beginning to sweat from the pain. “Yes, love. It’s called
a contraction.”
Ella c****d her head to the side. “What does that mean?”
I gritted my teeth through the pain and managed a smile. “It means that your little sister is trying to get
out,” I said, pinching Ella’s cheek. I was overtaken then by another wave of pain, and Selina came
scurrying out of the kitchen with a worried look on her face.
“Edrick is on his way. I’ll take you to the hospital now if you want—”
“No.” I shook my head firmly. “I want to wait for Edrick.”
Selina opened her mouth to protest at first, but then quickly shut it again. I could tell that she knew that
there was no changing my mind now, and so she and Ella both stayed with me while I paced back and
forth around the living room, clutching my belly as waves of contractions came over me.
Finally, Edrick burst out of the elevator with a wild look on his face. His tie was loosened, his shirt was
half untucked, and his hair was a mess. He looked like he practically flew here.
I couldn’t help but laugh.
“You look ridiculous,” I teased.
“Mom peed on the couch!” Ella shouted.
Selina hushed Ella. “Don’t be rude!” she scolded. “It’s not urine! It’s called amniotic fluid.”
Ella furrowed her brow, still clutching my skirt. “Well, it looks like pee.”
Edrick and I both burst out laughing. Ella never ceased to lighten the mood, even when she didn’t
mean to.
Within minutes, Edrick and I were on the way to the hospital. Ella threw a royal fit when she found out
that she couldn’t come until later, but I knew that it would likely be hours spent in the hospital and that it
would be worse if she came now.
As Edrick drove, he clutched my hand and kept looking over at me nervously, as though I would
explode or even just disappear into thin air.
“I love you,” Edrick said as he took a turn.
Through the pain of the contractions, I could hardly speak. I could only smile back at him, and I
squeezed his hand three times. Over the past six months, we had developed a secret code to say I
love you without having to speak… And at that moment, I needed to use that secret code more than
ever.
Edrick grinned and squeezed back. Soon enough, the hospital came into view. Despite the pain, I
couldn’t stop smiling.
I was so excited to finally meet our daughter.
