Eduardoâs POV:
My heart skipped a beat.
I always knew that my daughter would ask about Elsie one day, but I wasnât ready, and I didnât know how to tell her the truth yet.
When Debra was seven years old, the border of the Silver Ridge Pack was unstable.
As the packâs Alpha, I had no choice but to suppress the rebellion personally.
However, some evildoers plotted against me and struck me when my guard was down.
I was lucky enough to survive their attack, but I was blinded.
Some restless forces in the pack found out that I was blind, and they didnât hesitate to try to overthrow my rule.
Sure enough, they wasted no time in spreading the news that I had gone blind; some even went so far as to fabricate rumors to discredit me, claiming that I didnât deserve to be the Alpha of the Silver Ridge Pack.
As the rumors spread, many commoners began to doubt my qualifications, and my position was threatened.
It was a big blow to me.
As though being blinded wasnât hard enough, I couldnât accept the harsh fact that I was being questioned.
Gradually, I became depressed and irritable.
I trapped myself in my room all day and refused to meet anyone, including my daughter and wife.
But one day, I regained my vision from out of the blue.
When my wife, Elsie, saw that I had miraculously recovered, she hugged me so happily and cried tears of joy.
But while she cheered me on, the doctor in charge of me looked very scared.
He looked at Elsie warily, as though he was on guard against something.
I immediately sensed that something was wrong, so I found an excuse to make her leave and asked, âDoctor, whatâs going on? Are you hiding something from me?â
Despite the fear in his eyes, the doctor told me the truth.
âAlpha Eduardo, on the night your eyesight was restored, I saw Luna Elsie cure you with witchcraft.
But a few hours later, a perfectly healthy newborn baby in our hospital suddenly passed away.
I suspect that it was Luna Elsie who did it.
I couldnât believe that she was willing to trade the life of an innocent child for your recovery!â
âWhat did you just say?â I grabbed the doctor by the collar and wrung him, blinded by both shock and anger.
Not only did I want to hide the panic in my heart, but I also didnât want to believe the doctorâs words.
âHow dare you blame the death of a newborn on Elsie?

How do you know itâs not a coincidence? You just want to drive a wedge between me and my wife, donât you?â
Panic-stricken, the doctor stammered, âAlpha Eduardo, if it werenât for witchcraft, how could you suddenly regain your eyesight? Thereâs no possible way common medicine had anything to do with it!â
The doctorâs words hit me like a heavy bl
ow.
I loosened my grip around his collar and felt at a complete loss.
Truth be told, I didnât want to believe what he said, but he was wright; my eyesight had come back from out of the blue.
Countless excellent doctors had tried to help me, but they were all sure that Iâd never recover my eyesight.
Who exactly was Elsie? There had been many signs that she was different from the rest of us.
This time, she inadvertently proved that she really was a Swamp Witch from the old legends.
I was very upset.
After driving the doctor away, I summoned Elsie to my room and asked coldly, âTell me the truth.
How did I regain my eyesight?â
Elsie played ignorant and said innocently, âThe doctors healed you, of course.
