The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 1048

Crystal's POV:

If I thought that Rufus from five years ago was a profound book, then Rufus at this time was a whole abstract painting for me. I could at least try to understand a book as long as I read it thoroughly, but I might never understand the real meaning behind an abstract painting.

Hearing what he said, I was upset and wanted to make an excuse to leave, but Beryl suddenly had a stomachache at this time.

All the thoughts in my head vanished and all I could think about was Beryl's well-being.

Beryl's face was pale because of pain. She covered her stomach and cried out between gasps. Laura also went alert and immediately sent someone to call the doctor.

"Is it because she ate too much just now?" I couldn't help being anxious. I held her in my arms and rubbed her belly gently, trying to do anything I could to relieve her pain.

Beryl lay weakly in my arms, and soon red rash appeared on her neck.

"She is having an allergic reaction!" Laura's face turned pale with fright. She anxiously held back Beryl's hands seeing that she was about to scratch her own neck out of instinct.

The doctor hadn't come even after we had waited for a long time. Rufus' patience was running thin as he got furious and sent more people to get the doctor.

"How about I take her to the hospital instead?" Looking at Beryl who now seemed to be having difficulty in breathing, I was so anxious and couldn't wait any longer. I immediately thought of taking her to the hospital myself.

At this time, the young doctor rushed over and bowed to Rufus, apologizing in panic. "The car suddenly broke down and I ran all the way here."

"There's no time to talk about that. Check the child quickly." Gritting his teeth, Rufus grabbed the doctor's collar and threw him towards me.

I lowered my head and continued to work on the paper kitten in my hand which was about to take shape. I didn't say anything to his remarks, but he was wrong because if I really was vindictive, I wouldn't be here in the first place. After all, I knew that Rufus was just interested in those secrets I had hidden. Loyalty was particularly important to a king. In the past, Rufus couldn't tolerate any betrayal, and now, even more so. The one thing I was afraid was that he wouldn't let me leave the capital city before he completely trusted me.

I couldn't help but sigh thinking of this. Rufus seemed to notice it as he asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable talking to me?"

What a sensitive and suspicious person! I didn't know how to answer his question at that moment, so I kept silent.

Since Rufus didn't get my response, his handsome face darkened and he snorted coldly. Then, he went upstairs with Beryl who was now sleepy in his arms. Clearly, he was refusing to let me be with Beryl!

I could only choke out, "You!" Looking at his back, I was so angry that I wanted to rush up to beat him up. But even if I wanted to, I couldn't because I wouldn't defeat him.

I was so annoyed by him that I didn't want to stay here any longer. After tidying up the folded papers on the table, I said goodbye to Laura and left.
