?Chapter 588:


    ra looked surprised to see me at first but quickly recognized me and politely invited me inside.


    I stepped into the house, bypassing any small talk, and dove right in. “Dr. Lee, I need to understand what really happened on the day I gave birth.”


    When ra heard my question, the smile quickly faded from her face and was reced by a grave expression of guilt. “Oh, it was my ipetence that led to the loss of your baby. I am deeply sorry, and I hope you find some peace from that dreadful day.”


    As she spoke, her eyes met mine, filled with sincere remorse.


    A storm of emotions swirled within me, and I nearly broke down crying again. However, I remembered my purpose for being there, so Iposed myself and pressed on. “Dr. Lee, I didn’te here for apologies. I need to understand exactly what happened. How could my baby have died from sudden infant death syndrome so unexpectedly?”


    ra trudged over to a chair and sank into it, massaging her temples with a pained expression. “This syndrome has always been a mystery among the werewolves. No one has been able to pinpoint the exact cause. I sincerely did everything within my power at the time…”


    “If that’s the best exnation you have, I can’t ept it,” I countered firmly.


    ra responded, sensing my dissatisfaction. “It might be due to the distinct nature of werewolf infants. Sometimes, their bodies can’t handle the intense strength inherited from their werewolf lineage, resulting in sudden deaths.”


    How could that be possible? I was a white wolf, and the child’s father was a powerful Lycan descendant. The idea that our child had died because of such a vague condition was unfathomable. It made no sense!


    Then I remembered something Alice had mentioned—the power outage at the hospital the day I gave birth. A nagging suspicion crept up on me. “Dr. Lee, do you recall the power outage at the hospital that day?” I inquired urgently.


    ra paused, thought for a moment, and then answered, “Yes, the power did cut out that day. It was very brief, not even a minute long.”

    My frustration grew as I heard this. “That short outage could have been enough for someone to either cause my child’s death or switch my child with another dead infant!”


    ra shook her head. There was a mix of resignation and sympathy in her eyes. “I understand why you’re upset, but it was just a minute. The medical team was all around your baby. It would have been nearly impossible for anyone to switch the babies so quickly. Besides, His Majesty and the princes conducted a thorough investigation and found nothing out of the ordinary.”


    As she spoke, she reached out tofort me with a gentle pat on the shoulder, but it only intensified my feelings of frustration. She then furrowed her brow, seeming to remember something. “The only odd thing was that I remember feeling a light breeze at that moment, but that’s it. Nothing else stood out as unusual.”


    Makenna’s POV:


    A light breeze?


    Was that all there was to it? My mind was filled with confusion and disappointment, yet my intuition deep within me told me there was a conspiracy lurking behind this—that I must have overlooked some crucial detail.


    The atmosphere inside the house grew heavy, settling into a suffocating silence, as if echoing this burden. My brain whirred, sifting through the earlier conversations for anything that might serve as a clue.


    Suddenly, amotion erupted outside the door, and frantic voices pierced the air.


    “Fire! The house is on fire! Someone, help!”
