Inside the hospital.
Sewanchi clutched her phone anxiously, looking at Mumuzawa on the hospital bed.
Her vital signs had stabilized by then-they had basically hit rock bottom.
Sewanchi had already tried calling Dio several times, but not one call had gone through.
She had no idea what was happening over there, but she knew that if this continued, Mumuzawa would die, and Malayan would soon follow in her footsteps.
But there was nothing Sewanchi could do, either. This was already the best hospital in Kakin's capital, and many high-ranking officials, dignitaries, and even members of the Royal Family gladly came here for treatment.
Yet these doctors, who could be considered the very best, were helpless against the poison in the two children's bodies. They could not even determine why Mumuzawa's condition had suddenly taken such a sharp turn for the worse.
What should I do...? If my daughter dies, that Hunter named Dio will lose his mind, won't he...?
Sewanchi gritted her teeth and forced herself to start considering every possible scenario.
The worst-case scenario was, of course, that Mumuzawa died, Malayan followed in her footsteps, and Dio arrived to find Mumuzawa dead, lost his mind on the spot, and even chose to attack her.
Then everything truly would be lost.
The key to all of this was whether she could keep Mumuzawa alive!
Sewanchi suddenly realized that this daughter, whom she had neglected for over a decade, had become a pivotal figure in just a few short months.
Being "pivotal" was a quality. Someone who played a pivotal role in any situation could become king.
But in that case, what about Malayan?
In her heart, Sewanchi still favored the younger Malayan. She had watched Mumuzawa grow up and was certain that she lacked the ability to become king.
"Hm?"
