Adele sensed what he was trying to say. It was natural for Mark, a competent veterinarian, to have doubts about this silver wolf.

Clunk!

Jennifer stuck close behind Adele and spoke firmly.

“That won’t work. Adele is under my protection now.”

“Hey, sir, your words sound a bit strange. Who do you think our teacher is?”

Even Judy, who was preparing surgical instruments, made a comment.

Of course, Jennifer also had the appearance of a surgical instrument.

“What did you say? Sir? No, who is this cucumber-looking woman to call me sir!”

“What did you say? Cucumber? Oh no, this sir has finally touched my nerves after a while.”
“What did you say? Cucumber? Oh no, this sir has finally touched my nerves after a while.”

While the two engaged in a fierce eye confrontation, Mark and Adele left their positions.

“Sorry, but I can’t answer awkward questions. I don’t want to lie to you.”

Adele, who came to the porch of the mansion entrance with Mark, declared first.

It was better not to answer any questions than to lie to him, for whom she was grateful.

“Alright. Let’s start with a simple question then. That wolf is the notorious Silver Wolf, right?”

Adele’s expression wavered at the direct hit of the question.

“I guess that expression answers it.”

Adele added with a hint of injustice.

“It’s the Silver Wolf, but he has never harmed anyone! The serial killer in Greenhill was Stone Oswald!”

“I know. I read news articles too.”

“I’m sorry. I was afraid he might misunderstand…”

Mark, who had been silently observing Adele, grinned.

“But Adele, you talk about that wolf as if he were a person.”

“…!”

Mark cautiously asked again.

“Could it be that the wolf… is Viscount Vice?”

“What are you talking about! That’s an absurd joke.”

Adele denied vehemently, seemingly indignant.

However, his persistent gaze seemed like an interrogation.

“I said I wouldn’t lie to you.”

“Mark…”

He sighed honestly and sat down on the bench on the porch.

“I have a hobby of collecting ancient texts. I’ve read about the Wolf Clan in there. They can freely transform between human and wolf forms. What sets them apart from regular wolves is their large size and five claws. That Silver Wolf should belong to the Wolf Clan.”

“Please… just pretend you don’t know, Mark.”

Adele’s voice trembled.

“I won’t gossip about the patient’s secrets.”

“Thank you so much.”

Adele felt a sense of relief. In fact, the reason she had rushed here without sleeping was because she trusted him.

Mark would probably recognize Kristin’s identity, but he seemed likely to keep the secret.

“But it’s a bit strange. I heard that the regenerative ability of the Wolf Clan is quite impressive…”

“Jimmer said the same. But it seems there’s little improvement from when he was first injured.”

“No. The wounds where he was shot are gradually healing. The problem was the torn wounds. If we were a little late, they would have become necrotic to the point where he couldn’t use his hands.”

“But only the torn wounds didn’t heal?”

“That’s my judgment. What kind of beast can tear developed muscles like that in an instant? There are hardly any animals that can tear muscles with such well-developed jaw strength.”

“Stone Oswald.”

Initially skeptical, Mark cautiously asked a while later.

“Could it be that Stone Oswald is also… part of the Wolf Clan?”

“Yes.”
“Now I understand everything. When I read the articles about the Greenhill serial murders, I didn’t think it was the work of a human. But it seemed strange when Stone Oswald was caught as the culprit. However, if he’s part of the Wolf Clan, everything makes sense.”

“Stone tried to pin all his crimes on the Silver Wolf. After barely catching him, the Emperor let him go again.”

As a result, Kristin ended up in her current predicament.

Adele could never forgive Yan.

“After knowing all this, the Emperor let him go again?”

“Because he has to marry Princess April.”

“Knowing he’s part of the Wolf Clan, and moreover, marrying his daughter to such a terrible murderer?”

Mark was incredulous.

Of course, Adele couldn’t understand it either. But she had long given up trying to understand the cunning minds of those people.

“But don’t worry. Stone won’t be able to commit murder again now.”

Adele remembered the events of last night. It was dark, but she clearly saw it. His head shattered into pieces from the gunshot fired by her pistol.

This time, without any hesitation, she shot him precisely.

Moreover, looking at Kristin’s case, the torn wounds took longer to heal. Stone also had several torn wounds from Kristin.

So, no matter how excellent the regenerative ability of the Wolf Clan, it would be difficult for him to come back to life.

Now, if only Kristin could recover without any complications.

Then Adele felt like she could stretch out and sleep peacefully.

She had finally avenged her mother.

“Adele, Auntie?”

At that moment, Adele turned her head at the voice of a child coming from behind.

With disheveled brown curly hair and dressed in pajamas, Jade blinked his eyes, standing there.

The moment Adele saw him, all her worries vanished, and a smile appeared.

“Hello, Jade?”

“Wow… it’s really you…”

“I missed you.”

As Adele spread her arms and smiled, Jade ran towards her and embraced her warmly.

Adele, along with Jade, entered the kitchen in the mansion.

She wanted to treat Mark and the people who had helped her to breakfast. That was the only thing she could do now.

Moreover, Jade had sent a desperate look, expressing his desire to cook with Adele.

“Make bean soup.”

Jade, wearing an apron, stood by the counter, ready to assist Adele.

“So, Jade likes beans.”

“Yes, you need to eat beans to be strong.”

“You should also eat carrots along with beans to be strong.”

“…!”

Adele barely restrained her laughter while looking at the child with dilated pupils in embarrassment.
