The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240: Do You Want to Be Free?

For some reason, there was still a part of her that felt sad every time she heard those malicious thoughts from Silas’s mind.

Even though she knew everything he had ever done for her was fake—that his kindness was just a mask and he had never truly meant to help her—sometimes ... she couldn’t help but wish that maybe, just maybe, there was still a trace of the good man she used to believe he was.

She knew it was foolish to think that way. And yet, she couldn’t help it.

Because nothing hurt more than realizing that someone you once trusted with everything—someone you thought would protect you—had been the one holding the knife at your throat.

That’s why she had been avoiding Silas, not just because she felt unsafe around him, but because every time she heard what was really inside his mind, it felt like a thousand tiny needles pricking straight through her heart.

"That’s very kind of you, Dr. Silas." Primrose forced a smile, trying her best to hide the sadness and disappointment in her eyes.

She looked directly at him, as if searching for any small piece of the man she used to know, the gentle doctor who once made her feel safe.

But unfortunately, that version of him had only ever existed in her imagination.

His kindness, his sweet words, his smile, none of it was real.

At first, she felt nothing but sadness and heartbreak. But over time, that sorrow had slowly transformed into rage.

That fury had burned so fiercely inside her that now ... all she wanted was to crush him into dust.

She wanted him to suffer, more than he could ever imagine.

Even if I can’t kill her just yet, she thought, maybe I can leave her paralyzed for a few weeks,] Silas suddenly thought in his mind. [I want to see if she can still wear that stupid smile on her face after that.]

Primrose’s smile faltered for a second, but after clenching her fists tightly, she managed to calm herself again.

"I’ve prepared a special herbal soak for you," Silas said, his tone smooth and polite. "Just add it to warm water during your bath. I’m confident that all your exhaustion will melt away."

[And in the morning,] his thoughts whispered cruelly, [she’ll suddenly lose the ability to walk for three days.]

[If anyone suspects me, I’ll just make sure someone sees me using the exact same herbal for my own bath and nothing will happen to me. After that, I’ll tell everyone that the Queen suffers from a rare inherited condition.]

Primrose had to admit that his plan was disturbingly clever.

He was an expert in creating poisons that were nearly impossible to detect. Unless someone had experience on Salem’s level, it was unlikely that anyone would be able to trace it.

She hadn’t wanted to play this kind of game while Salem was still away ... but she needed to talk to Hazelle without Silas around.

If she accepted Silas’s offer, she could ask Hazelle to assist her with the bath.

As for the poison ... well, maybe she could just pretend to be paralyzed the next morning.

Edmund would be devastated, of course. But it couldn’t be helped.

She had to make Silas believe she was still clueless about his true intentions.

Besides, it would give her a solid excuse to urgently summon Salem back to the palace, along with Raven. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"That sounds wonderful," Primrose said sweetly, clapping her hands. "I can’t wait to try it right away."
