Chapter 235

Janet stayed in the hospital and listened to the fireworks going on all night long. Cheers could be heard in the distance.

Everyone in the Lycan’s Kingdom was happy, except for her.

She couldn’t stop wondering if Daran had seen those fireworks as well and if he would blame her for the decision that she made.

She would never have the chance to find out what he really thought.

The next morning, doctors went into her room and inspected her condition.

“It will take a couple of days for the wounds to recover. But other than that, you are in a very good condition,” the doctor said to her with a big smile. “And the King’s heir is very healthy. Congratulations, Queen Janet.”

They already started to address her as queen.

And her child….

Janet placed a hand on her belly.

Officially starting today, her child was Westin’s kid, the heir of the Lycan’s Kingdom.

She better get used to that sooner.

“Thank you. So can I check out of the hospital today?” she asked the doctor.

“We strongly encourage you to stay here a bit longer. The nurses will apply a special ointment to your wound daily so that they will not leave a scar…”

“Scars do not bother me,” said Janet calmly.

Actually, she preferred to leave the scars.

It would serve as a constant reminder of what her enemy had done to her.

She wanted revenge.

An eye for an eye.

“I will check out of the hospital today,” she said to the doctor in a firm voice.

The doctor still looked reluctant.

But there was nothing he could say to change Janet’s mind, so he signed her release. eventually.

Janet left her room.

Yet she didn’t leave the hospital right away. Instead, she went into Elder Randy’s ward.

If she wanted to destroy Agnes, she would have to first weaken Agnes’s influence in this kingdom.

She needed to find something on Agnes, something she could use.

As for now, she hadn’t gotten anything yet.

Agnes did go into Westin’s study to assassinate her. But Janet asked the servants already and nobody had seen her. There wasn’t any surveillance camera in King’s

study.

So Janet couldn’t prove the assassination.

The only loose end was Elder Randy’s poisoning, in which Janet felt strongly that Agnes must have been involved.

If she could prove that Agnes was responsible for poisoning Elder Randy and framing her, she could definitely ruin that vicious woman.

A few nurses were taking Elder Randy’s blood pressure when Janet came into the ward.

They immediately curtseyed to Janet, “Good day, Queen Janet.
