Chapter 273
Cassandra’s tone was flat as if it had nothing to do with her. But somehow it was a bit frightening. It was only October but anyone near to her would be so frightened that he would feel like it was even colder than winter.
Kenneth swore by the honor of a soldier. “Cassie, this is not for you to consider. It is Zosteylor’s mistake. Even if it escalates, we can afford it. The nation will not give up on people like Hugo.
“If this matter is made public, the government has to do something. Hugo represents the traditional medicine of Clusia and his achievements are unparalleled.
“Therefore, you don’t need to care about international disputes. Besides, he is powerful enough to keep it a secret.”
Cassandra remained silent in a daze. Kenneth was worried. Jeremiah was no better
than him.
Jeremiah accused Kenneth. “What are you talking about? What do you want Elaine to do now?”
Kenneth said, “If I don’t tell her, she will be unprepared for it. How do you. think she will feel when she meets the Queen and Darren?”
Kenneth thought, ‘Do you think I’m happy about this?
‘If possible, I want to hide this from Cassandra forever. Cassandra has me. That is enough, let alone those who regard her as their family. As for others who disappeared from her life, everything should remain unchanged. They are not welcome.
‘But if I don’t tell her, she will find out by herself when she sees the face of the
Queen.
“That would be more frustrating. It could totally ruin her.
‘After she was born, she was abandoned. She was chosen by a lot of people then. Finally, she met Blossom and grew up with her miserably. For Blossom, she learned all kinds of skills and also had all kinds of diseases. Some of them can be
cured while others cannot.

‘If Hugo was not in danger, I would have hid it from her forever. The Queen’s life. has nothing to do with me.
These guys broke the rules and kidnapped Hugo to force her to show up.’
Cassandra murmured, “Ken.”
Although her voice was very low, Kenneth heard it. He hurriedly walked to her and held her in his arms. “I’m here with you, Cassie. I’m here.”
Cassandra smiled bitterly, “Ken, I’m just hungry.”
Kenneth gently stroked her hair and said softly, “Okay. I’ll ask someone to cook. some food for you.”
He thought, ‘No matter what is happening, food is a necessity. Your stomach will suffer.
Cassandra ate two strawberries, three shrimp, a small cake, and a glass of juice.
Cassandra turned to Kenneth with an innocent and resentful look. “I can’t eat anymore.”
Kenneth said, “Well, let’s wait until you’re hungry. He thought Cassandra was fragile so he must carefully look after her. Jeremiah stayed away from her but he kept staring at her, worried.
He thought, ‘Damn it. If I had known this, I wouldn’t have allowed her to be here. again.
After nearly 10 hours, they finally landed at their destination.
Cassandra threw the backpack on her back and said in a relaxed tone, “Let’s straight to the Queen’s Palace.”

Kenneth said, “Okay.”

Outside the Queen’s Palace, guards were guarding the gate. They stopped. Cassandra and others.
They asked in Zosteylor’s language, “Who are you? The Queen Palace doesn’t welcome strangers.”

Cassandra couldn’t speak Zosteylor’s language fluently so she turned to Kenneth for help.
Kenneth said in a deep voice, “Tell Darren that the person he has been looking for
is here.”
The guards looked at each other, doubting whether what he said was true.
However, a guard recognized that the man in front of him had come to the Queen’s Palace a few days ago.
So, he went inside to report it.
When Darren learned this, he was surprised that it was Kenneth.
The person who he wanted to see the most was Dr. Quirke. Dr. Quirke was the top priority.
Darren asked in a deep voice, “Who else is with him?”
The guard replied, “Another man and a woman.
Darren was confused. He knew since Kenneth said so had, Kenneth already knew it
Darren said, “Let them in.”
Cassandra followed Kenneth inside and soon, she was in front of Darren. She lowered her head and didn’t look at Darren.
Darren took a sip of black tea and said indifferently, “Mr. Zelinski, why did you come back so soon?”
Kenneth said, “You kidnapped Hugo. Why do you think I’m here?”
Darren smiled and simply said, “I have a reason. Hugo is perfectly fine. I do not forbid him to do anything except leave the room and use his phone. I just want to meet Dr. Quirke.”
He knew only Dr. Quirke could save Leanna. Leanna had less than three months to live and there were a lot of things that they promised to do together but hadn’t done yet.
Cassandra raised her head and looked at Darren. “Release Hugo. I’ll treat the

At this moment, Theodore, Vincent, and Harper arrived.
They saw Cassandra in the surveillance monitor.
Darren casually glanced at Cassandra and was immediately shocked.
He thought, ‘L–Leanna?

‘No, Leanna is not that young. How can there be someone who looks so much like
her?‘
He stared at Cassandra with eyes wide open and walked quickly to her as if he was afraid that she would disappear at any moment. He reached out his trembling. hand but Cassandra dodged him.
Cassandra said, “Please show some respect.”
Cassandra’s indifference disappointed him and even depressed him.
Harper walked to Cassandra and asked softly, “Cassandra, why are you here?”
Cassandra looked Harper up and down and then turned to Theodore and Vincent.
She laughed in her mind, “There is no goodwill in the world for no reason. They know who I am so they are just plotting against me.’
Cassandra was sure that the three of them absolutely knew who she was and then tried to be friends with her pretending that they didn’t know.
She thought it was indeed a smart move.
Cassandra snorted and thought, “Three brothers. What a loving family!”
She looked at Darren indifferently, “If you release Hugo, I’ll probably consider saving the patient.”
Darren instantly came to his senses. He suddenly didn’t know what to do. “How old are you?”
Cassandra said, “I’m 20.”
Cassandra deliberately told him a lie. Darren looked disappointed.

He thought, “Twenty years old. She’s not my daughter.’
Harper widened his eyes and looked at Cassandra in disbelief. “How could you be 20? You’re only 18. Why did you lie?”
He couldn’t understand why Cassandra was so indifferent and even lied after she saw his father.
Cassandra looked up at Harper. He turned pale and didn’t look as happy as when he was in school anymore.
“What should I say?” Cassandra snorted coldly, “Should I cry and accept him and admit that I am his daughter? Should I accept all of this joyfully?
“If you hadn’t kidnapped Hugo, I wouldn’t have been here. Her life or death has nothing to do with me!”

Cassandra glared at Darren with hatred glittering in her eyes. “Now, release Hugo!”
