Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1356: Love-forgetting Potion

Unexpectedly, these four words became a prophecy.

Hayden Crawford carried Willow back to the room, "Serena, how is our daughter? It’s the first time I’ve seen her so heartbroken; it seems she had deep feelings for the young master of The Merfolk Kingdom."

Serena Sterling sympathetically looked at her daughter, "They say love wounds are difficult to heal. I’m at a loss, and all we can do is leave everything to time. Time can slowly help Willow forget the young master of The Merfolk Kingdom."

"Serena, do you think the young master of The Merfolk Kingdom is dead?"

Morgan Ashworth and Willow both lay on the ground. At this time, the elder of The Merfolk Kingdom rushed in with skilled manpower, risking their lives in a hailstorm of bullets to seize Morgan Ashworth, so no one knows his current whereabouts.

Some days ago, Morgan Ashworth broke ties with the elder of The Merfolk Kingdom for Willow, but the elder couldn’t let go of Morgan, so he arrived at the last critical moment.

Unfortunately, Morgan’s brothers, Aro, Trey, Sloan, including Nolan, all died. Not one of them survived.

Especially Nolan, who stood guard beside Morgan’s body, was stabbed dozens of times but remained upright.

This battle was filled with blood.

Everyone was wounded all over.

Serena Sterling furrowed her brows, "I heard at the time this young master Morgan had stopped breathing, and Ghost Grass is a lethal poison; the possibility of survival... is very, very small..."

Serena Sterling hadn’t seen Morgan Ashworth, so she couldn’t make a definite judgment, but if she says the chance is very small, that means Morgan’s survival is nearly impossible.

"Prof. Sterling, Miss Willow’s blood test report is out." The assistant said outside the door.

Hayden Crawford, "Serena, did you test Willow’s blood?"

Serena Sterling nodded, somewhat uncertain, "Earlier, I used hypnosis to enter Willow’s dream. In her dream, I seemed to hear the sound of a bell, which was very familiar, somewhat reminiscent of... distant memories..."

Hayden Crawford’s expression changed, "Are you saying... the long-lost... Bewitching Technique of The Merfolk Clan?"

Serena Sterling nodded, "That’s right. Who would have thought, after all these years, such a sinister technique would reappear in the world."

Both Hayden Crawford and Serena Sterling were very familiar with the Bewitching Technique of The Merfolk Clan, and neither had expected that, 20 years later, this long-lost enchanting art would stir waves again.

"Serena, who do you suspect?"

"Mr. Crawford, what about you?"

The couple exchanged a glance.

Then a voice came from outside the door, "Prof. Sterling, Prince Rosen is here!"

Prince Rosen arrived.

Just as the words fell, Prince Rosen walked in, assisted by others. He had been stabbed by Morgan Ashworth and was seriously injured, but later survived thanks to Serena Sterling’s surgery. His condition was poor, wearing hospital clothes, his gentle and handsome face pale, needing support to walk.

"Rosen, why did you come? You’re seriously injured and need bed rest," Serena Sterling said.

"Aunt, thank you for saving my life, or I would have died at Morgan Ashworth’s hands," Prince Rosen expressed his gratitude.

"Our Alani and the royal family have always been allies, Rosen. I watched you grow up like my child. Of course, I couldn’t stand by and do nothing. It was just a small effort."

Prince Rosen nodded gratefully, then looked toward Willow on the bed with a face full of concern and worry, "How is Willow?"

Hayden Crawford said, "The death of the young master Morgan was a huge blow to Willow. She can’t recover from it for the time being."

"Aunt and Uncle, so much has happened while you were away. Have you heard about... the Bewitching Technique?"

Bewitching Technique?

Hayden Crawford and Serena Sterling exchanged another glance.

At this time, Prince Rosen gritted his teeth indignantly, "The Bewitching Technique is an evil art of The Merfolk Kingdom. Morgan Ashworth used the Bewitching Technique on Willow; the naive Willow liked Morgan and even dated him for a time. Vivi knows about this. You can ask her, and everyone at our high school knows. Back then, Willow was very infatuated with Morgan."

Serena Sterling looked at Prince Rosen, "Rosen, how do you know about the Bewitching Technique of The Merfolk Kingdom?"

"Because I caught a spy from The Merfolk Kingdom. She’s already confessed; she can testify that it was Morgan Ashworth who used the Bewitching Technique on Willow!"

"That spy is right outside. Aunt and Uncle, you can interrogate her, and the truth will naturally come to light!"

"No wonder Willow would fall for such a sinister and treacherous person like Morgan Ashworth; The Merfolk Kingdom’s blood is filthy. They used such despicable means on Willow. It’s all my fault for arriving late. I came too late and gave Morgan Ashworth a chance."

Prince Rosen was full of regret and self-blame, with deep emotions, wishing he could give himself a slap.

Moreover, the evidence he had was solid; there were both witnesses and material proof, all painting Morgan Ashworth as guilty.

It’s said Prince Rosen is meticulous. From the moment Morgan used the Bewitching Technique, he knew there was no escaping the eyes of The Crawford couple, so he had a backup plan, leaving no loose ends.

"Aunt and Uncle, Willow was just temporarily bewitched by Morgan Ashworth. After I came, Willow woke up, and she joined me in giving Morgan a fatal blow."

"Rest assured, I will always stay by Willow’s side. I will guard her, help her forget the past hurts, and start anew."

"Aunt and Uncle, I wish to marry Willow. Please allow her to be my wife."

Prince Rosen immediately brought up the topic of "marriage." He wanted to marry Willow!

Hayden Crawford didn’t speak the entire time, "Rosen, actually Willow could marry you..."

Prince Rosen’s eyes lit up, "Uncle, thank you. I will surely treat Willow well, I..."

"Rosen," Hayden Crawford interrupted Prince Rosen, "Willow could marry you, or she might not. I don’t have a preference because the one making the decision is your aunt. I follow her lead."

When it comes to Willow’s marriage, Serena Sterling makes the final call, leaving Prince Rosen forced to swallow his pride.

"Aunt, what do you mean?" Prince Rosen looked at Serena Sterling.

Serena Sterling curled her red lips and then slowly took out a medicine bottle, "Rosen, do you know what this is?"

"What is it?"

"This is... the Elixir of Forgetfulness."

Elixir of Forgetfulness?

The Water of Forgetfulness.

Prince Rosen immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

"Regarding the marriage agreement between Alani and the royal family, it was originally just a verbal joke. None of us took it seriously, so Willow cannot marry you."

"Rosen, once Willow wakes up, I will have her drink this Elixir of Forgetfulness. Then, whether it’s that young master Morgan or you, Willow will forget."

"We will take Willow back to Alani. Willow is not yet of age; her life can completely begin anew."
