Chapter 103: Chapter 104

Liviana’s POV

The guy from earlier and I eyed each other awkwardly.

If I remember correctly, his name is Rainer.

He is Halo’s head warrior.

I cleared my throat.

“I…uhm…sorry” I apologized as I flushed red.

Then, he chuckled.

“It’s fine” he said.

The door opened and King Callisto came in followed by a helper in a uniform with a wheelchair.

“I don’t think I need that” I pointed out.

“I don’t want you to strain yourself. You have just woken up from a coma of more than a year” King Callisto said firmly.

He had simply just completely disregarded what I did earlier.

In fact, no one has even questioned me yet about the whole scene.

Is having superpowers here common or what?

“Rainer” King Callisto motioned to his head warrior.

The guy nodded and carefully approached me.

“I’m lifting you up” he said.

Even before I could refuse or complain, he scooped me out of the bed and lifted me in his arms bridal style.

I squeaked and he chuckled.

I immediately flushed red.

The guy gently put me down on the wheelchair.

“I’m merely recovering. I’m not disabled” I whined as I looked away in embarrassment.

“Exactly. You’re recovering so don’t strain yourself” King Callisto said.

I sighed and just stayed quiet for my own good.

Rainer, the head warrior, pushed my wheelchair out of the room as we made our way through the hallway.

My eyes roamed around the hallways of the palace.

I was sure that this place was huge.

But somehow, it felt more cozy compared to the one in Lunar.

The palace there didn’t feel this way.

In fact, the palace there made me feel suffocated.

But here, it felt cozy.

It felt like…a real home.

Finally, we stopped in front of a closed door.

There were 2 guards guarding the door from outside.

King Callisto turned to look at me and kneeled in front of me as he held my hand.

“Liviana” he said softly.

I looked at him curiously.

Then, he sighed.

“Don’t…hesitate to ask us any question you might have” he said and gave me a small smile.

I nodded although I felt quite anxious.

One of the guards opened the door and Rainer pushed my wheelchair inside.

We entered a well lit room.

The walls were a combination of white and baby blue.

My eyes roamed around.

There were shelves filled with books that seem to be for kids.

Then, there were baskets and baskets with a ton of toys in them.

There were also toys on the carpet of the floor.

But my eyes stayed on the crib at the center of the room.

My eyebrows furrowed confused.

“What’s this supposed to be? Don’t tell me that this is…my room?” I asked confused.

I didn’t quite understand what I was doing here.

I saw Reiner bite his lower l*p as he looked the other way.

I can only assume that he was trying to hide in his laughter.

King Callisto chuckled and sighed.

“Not quite” King Callisto said.

“Then what—“

Suddenly, a door opened and a woman came out holding a child in her hands.

The woman’s eyes landed on me and her eyes slightly widened.

But my eyes stayed on the child that the woman was holding.

I couldn’t breathe properly.

I didn’t understand why I was feeling this way.

The child moved and turned to look in our direction.

Then, our eyes met.

He had green eyes.

Black hair like mine.

His features reminded me of someone I knew so well.

“Mama” the child said.

My mouth gaped open.

“Mama” he said again as he extended his arms towards me.

My eyes started to tear up.

I was left in shock as I stared at the child.

“Mama” he kept saying as he desperately reached his arms out to me.

As if on instinct, I stood up as I made my way to him.

My eyes never left his.

I stopped just a few steps away.

“Mama” he said again and tear left my eye as I reached out to touch his extended hand.

Then, I felt it.

I felt a connection.

Tears started to stream down my face as I carefully carried him in my arms.

He immediately snuggled into me.

I held him like the fragile thing he was as I turned to look at King Callisto.

“Is he….” I tried to ask but I was finding it hard to speak.

“He’s yours. He’s your son, Liviana” King Callisto confirmed.

My breath hitched as I held the little boy in my arms.

I started to sob as my knees weakened.

Suddenly, I felt hands supporting me from my sides.

I looked to see Rainer already standing beside me as he supported me.

It was all still sinking into me.

I carefully sat down while Rainer supported me.

I looked at the baby boy in my embrace.

He too looked up at me as my tears continued to come out of my eyes like a waterfall.

“Mama” he said.

I sobbed as I cupped his face.

“H-hi” I said with a smile and kissed his forehead.

Then, I turned to look at King Callisto again.

“H-how old i-is he?” I asked as I sobbed.

“11 months. He’s turning 1 next month” he told me.

I bit my lower l*p.

11 months.

I haven’t been by my own son’s side for 11 months.

“H-how?” I asked.

I couldn’t comprehend it all.

“When Rainer found you, he immediately rushed you here thinking that you were Diana because of your wolf” King Callisto started.

“When you turned back to your human form, we were unsure whether who you actually were. But still, we got you treated” he continued on.

“When you were examined, the doctors said you were pregnant” he said.

“But they also said it would be even more dangerous considering that you were already in critical condition that time” he explained.

I kept listening.

“The doctors suggested to let go of the child in your womb” King Callisto said carefully.

My heart clenched.

“But the moment that they tried to even touch you and your child with the intention of getting rid of the living being in your womb, there was…a special force that refused to let them harm either one of you. It was as if it was protecting us from getting rid of the child” he explained.

I felt a sudden relief.

The moon goddess.

It must’ve been the moon goddess.

After all this time, she was doing something like this without my knowledge.

“So despite the risk, we had to save and sustain both you and the child despite your critical condition. We threw away any intention of sacrificing either one of you to keep the other alive” he continued.

“That was the only way that you can be treated without a force stopping the doctors” he explained.

“For the first few months until you gave birth, we had to take extra precautions and extra care to make sure that you’ll both be safe until you’ll need to give birth” he said.

“When that day came when the doctor gave a go signal, the doctors took out your sons via cesarean” King Callisto said.

“He was a healthy baby boy” he added with a small smile as he looked at my son.

“Then, you continued to recover while still in a coma while we took care of him” he finished.

I looked at my son again.

His eyes were already close as he snuggled into me in a sleeping form.

“He would cry almost every day and would only stop when he was put beside you. You were in a coma but he still found safety in your mere presence” King Callisto told me.

Another tear escaped my eye.

“His first word was ‘mama’. Ever since that day, he’s been saying it every chance he gets” King Callisto said with a chuckle.

I smiled.

I cupped my son’s little face as I lightly brushed my thumb on his cheek.

“How precious” I muttered with a smile on my face.

“There are only a few people who he approves of holding him” King Callisto suddenly said.

I looked at him curiously.

“Who are they?” I asked curiously.

“Mina, your mom’s old nanny. Kaley, your mom’s cousin’s daughter. Rainer, your bodyguard. Selene, my wife. Then, me” King Callisto elaborated.

My eyes landed on the woman beside King Callisto.

She had silver hair like my mom but she had deep blue eyes.

“Liviana, this is my wife. Your grandmother. Queen Selene White of Halo” King Callisto said.

The woman’s eyes watered as she looked at me.

“Liviana” she said softly as shw slowly approached.

She kneeled beside me as she cupped my face.

Tears started to stream down her face as she examined my face while she caressed my cheeks with her thumb lightly.

“What a beautiful child you are. Just like your mother” she said with a smile.

I smiled as well.

“No wonder I felt a connection with you that day” she muttered.

“My sweet granddaughter” she said as she sobbed and hugged me.

We had our moment for a while.

Until, King Callisto suggested to Queen Selene to let my son and I have our little privacy.

Everyone except Rainer left the room.

I sat comfortably on a love seat inside of the room as I held my son in my arms.

He was sleeping on my chest peacefully as I stared at him in awe.

I can’t believe I gave birth to such a precious being.

In my eyes, he was a precious little gem of mine.

My precious son.
