Chapter 1089: Chapter 1029: Night Owl’s Scheme
Gulit knows Doctor X is on the phone with that man, Night Owl.
She fears Night Owl, that man is like a devil; just one glance and it chills you to the bone.
"Night Owl, you’re so cold-blooded, using your own son." Doctor X disagrees.
Compared to Night Owl, Doctor X prefers Adrian Desmond, but Adrian can’t give him what he wants. That’s why Doctor X follows Night Owl.
"Doctor, neither of us should point fingers at each other; you’re no saint either. If I go to hell, we’ll be there together."
"Haha..." Doctor X couldn’t care less about going to hell.
If hell really exists, it must be much more interesting than heaven.
"Is that princess behaving herself?" Night Owl asked.
"Not as interesting as Sienna Johnson, more like a block of wood.
Old man can’t even find someone to talk to. When will you bring Sienna Johnson to me to kill the boredom?" Doctor X complained to Night Owl, glancing at Gulit.
At the other end, Night Owl was silent for a long time before slowly saying, "The timing isn’t right!"
"You’re quite patient with Sienna Johnson."
"I’m very interested in her!"
"Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for her?"
Night Owl didn’t answer.
Doctor X glanced at Gulit, whose face turned ghostly pale hearing their conversation, her courage small.
If it were that woman, Sienna, she would act nonchalant despite being scared to death inside, a sly woman!
Doctor X’s gaze fell on Gulit’s belly and asked, "Do you really want to be Sultan of Abyanabad?"
Night Owl’s plan is to let Gulit have a child; even if it’s a girl, he will plot to kill Kiya, having the child become the Sultan of Abyanabad, while he becomes the actual behind-the-scenes controller.
Adrian Desmond took advantage of Night Owl’s physical issues to catch him off guard, and Night Owl made a risky move.
Now, there’s a huge gap in strength between him and Adrian Desmond. Like a street rat, he doesn’t dare show his face; he needs absolute power to confront Adrian.
Adrian Desmond must die!
"I have no choice!"
"Remember the promise you made to me."
Doctor X needs a huge laboratory and living subjects for his mad genetic modification research, which is why he conspires with Night Owl.
"I remember!"
"..."
"Keep a close watch on that princess, don’t let her ruin my plans."
Night Owl now worries less about being found by Adrian Desmond than about Gulit, this woman being like a ticking time bomb, potentially ruining his entire plan.
"Don’t call that princess, she has a name, Gulit, and after all, she’s your son’s mother, you should remember..."
Night Owl impatiently hung up the phone.
"The brat, still with such a bad temper."
Doctor X looked up at Gulit sitting there, her body seemed rigid, face pale, as if scared out of her wits.
Doctor X chuckled twice and said kindly, "Gulit, what are you afraid of? Night Owl is your benefactor; if it weren’t for him, you’d be sold to that old, ugly armed leader in Himakati."
To Gulit, it was merely jumping from one pit of fire into another.
Gulit quietly asked, "Will you kill me?"
"As long as you obey, naturally not... but if you don’t cooperate with us... haha... you know, that kid Night Owl is no softie.
Death isn’t as terrifying as living worse than death. He’s quite a specialist at torture; at that time, you’d wish for death and not be able to die."
Gulit said, "I’ll do whatever you say, just don’t hurt me."
"Hmm, good child. What you need now is to take good care of yourself and give birth to the child. We will make you the honored queen of Abyanabad." Doctor X reassured the frightened Gulit.
"Hmm." Gulit, with a voice like a mosquito, hummed softly, then lowered her head, not speaking again.
Doctor X knew Gulit’s introverted nature, so he no longer tried to make her speak.
"Queen, it’s bad, the Queen Mother has arrived." Gulit’s maid came in, flustered, and said.
Gulit instantly stood up, looking helplessly at Doctor X, repeatedly asking, "What to do? What to do if the Queen Mother finds out about you?"
Doctor X was much calmer than Gulit; he stood up, moved to the inner room, and closed the door.
The other maid, Nisan, was Night Owl’s person; seeing Gulit so frantic, she scolded, "Why are you panicking, calm down. If you show a flaw later, I won’t spare you."
Gulit tightly held maid Hanna’s hand, bowed her head, dared not retort a single word.
"Queen, return to your seat. Pulling and tangling with a maid is beneath your dignity!" Nisan commanded.
Gulit returned to her original position, Hanna stood beside her, both heads lowered.
The Queen Mother quickly walked in. Gulit rose from the splendid chair and greeted her submissively and softly, "Mother."
The queen, usually cold-faced to people, found Gulit remarkably agreeable, liking this obedient and silent daughter-in-law.
"While passing by, I saw the lights were still on in your bedchamber, so I came to see you."
Gulit went forward, helped the Queen Mother, seated her, while she stood nearby. The Queen Mother pulled her hand and had her sit beside her seat.
"You’ve been looking troubled lately, is there something worrying you? Tell me, maybe I can help." The Queen Mother said lovingly.
At this moment, the Queen Mother’s appearance made it hard to imagine how not long ago, he had driven all fifty-plus wives of the old Sultan out of the Imperial Palace, without a penny given.
Among those favored by the old Sultan, the Queen Mother directly sold them to Himakati, and what awaited them was a life worse than death.
Gulit shook her head and said softly, "No, everything’s fine."
"You’re just too honest, child."
Gulit smiled shyly, tightly pressing her lips.
The Queen Mother compared Paige Desmond and Gulit; compared to the overly sharp Paige, Gulit was indeed too obedient.
"If Kiya doesn’t come to see you, don’t always stay in your chamber; you need to be proactive, you can go see Kiya.
The relationship between men and women grows by spending time together.
What’s more, you’re bearing his child."
Mentioning the child made Gulit uneasy, feeling a sense of exposure; if the child’s born not resembling Kiya, what then?
"What’s wrong? Feeling unwell? Why do you look so grim?"
"No, I’m fine."
The Queen Mother sighed, "You, being so honest will get bullied."
Gulit obediently said, "With Mother taking care of me, who dares bully me?"
