Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince

Chapter 79: Injury 

Rufus’ Pov:

Sylvia's hands were cold.I frowned and clasped her palm tightly, hoping the warmth of my skin would seep into her body and make her feel better.She didn't know how to take care of herself.

The wind was strong outside, but she was only wearing a thin coat.

She was lowering her head the entire time, like a scared turtle, ready to retreat to its shell at any time looking at her fluffy head, I felt a little helpless, 'Why was she so afraid of me?"

“She didn't even dare to look me in the eye.Chest out.Don't hunch, look straight ahead.Your gaze shouldn't drop to the floor," I said in a low voice But Sylvia didn't respond.

She was absentminded the entire time.She didn't return to her senses until I gently nudged her, I didn't say anything.

I gently wrapped my arm around her waist and said, "Raise your foot."

Sylvia was in a dare the entire time.She responded to me slowly like a puppet.I pursed my lips and looked at her, feeling unhappy.

It seemed like she didn't want to stay with me.Her cursory behavior made me think she didn't want to attend the ball with me.

Finally, I lost my patience, "If you don't want to learn, you don't have to force yourself."

Seeing that I was angry, Sylvia looked up at me, panic and fear evident in her eyes.

"It's not that I don't want to learn…"

Only then did I notice that her face was pale, and beads of sweat had covered her forehead.

My heart sank "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Nothing.It's just a little hot."

She averted her gaze and held my hand, gesturing for me to teach her.

I had an inkling that she was trying to hide something, I grabbed her hand and stared into her eyes.

"Sylvia, I know you are lying.Are you hiding something from me?"

"No, please don't ask Let's continue," Sylvia croaked, dropping her gaze to the floor.

Anger bubbled up within me.

"All right.I'm not going to continue until you tell me the truth.I have this whole night to spare anyway."

"No, I have to go back to the dorm before nine!" Sylvia grabbed my sleeve and pouted at me.

I snorted and looked at her.

Seeing her unwillingness to answer, I pushed her hand away and walked toward the door.

It looked like Sylvia wanted to follow me.

But after taking a few steps, she fell to the floor and held her left leg, wincing in pain.

At that moment, all my anger disappeared.I was only anxious and worried for her.I quickly ran over to see if she was okay.

"Let me take a look at it."

Trolled up Sylvia's left trouser and found a thick bandage wrapped around her leg.

"I got scratched by accident.I'll get better if I rest for a few days."

Seeing the unhappiness on my face, Sylvia withdrew her leg and explained cautiously. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

"Why would you get such a thick bandage if you only got scratched?" I narrowed my eyes and studied her face.

The fact that she was hiding something irked me.

I was not only mad at her but with myself as well.

If I had noticed sooner that something was wrong with her, she wouldn't have endured the pain.

"It's really just a scratch.It's just a small injury.It doesn't hurt much.I'll be fine soon." Sylvia smiled awkwardly.

Her pale face was not convincing at all.I scowled at her.She was lying to me, and I didn't want to talk to her unless I examined her wound.

"Are you angry?" Sylvia blinked innocently.

'What a heartless guy!' I thought to myself.

I reached out to untie the bandage to check her wound, but she covered it with her hands, stopping me from seeing it.

Her action ignited the fury in my heart.I gripped her hand and looked at her.

"Don't move!"

Seeing that I was unhappy, Sylvia withdrew her hands.

I untied the bandage on Sylvia's leg slowly, and her swollen skin came to view.My hands began to tremble as I saw the big purple bruises on her leg.
