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

Chapter 940 Laura's Wish

Rufus' POV:

When I found out that Crystal had yet another child, I felt a little uncomfortable.

And when she showed hostility and blocked me from entering her room to see her son, I felt even more uncomfortable. My discomfort was mixed with anger, but I wasn't sure why I was angry.

Sometimes, emotions weren't something that could be controlled by one's own consciousness.

I stood alone in the corridor and smoked a cigarette to calm down.

After a while, the doctor came out, but he was alone. My mother and Crystal were still in the room with the boy.

I wanted to know about my mother's health, so I personally escorted the doctor out and asked him about it. Before he left, I also asked him about the child's injury.

For some reason, the doctor looked terrified as soon as I asked this. He looked as though he was guilty of some unspeakable crime. There was hesitation in the way he spoke, and he was far from calm. But he was the director of the Royal Medical Research Institute—how could he now act like a clumsy green hand?

I frowned a little unhappily. "So is the boy seriously injured?"

The doctor gulped anxiously and answered, "No, no. It's not that serious."

"If it's not serious, then why is his head covered with so many bandages?"

When Crystal opened the door, although she had tried to block my sight, I saw a kid tucked in bed, wrapped in bandages.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

The child was very young, around the same age as Beryl. The age difference had to be only one or two years at most.

That she-wolf must've been very affectionate with her ex-husband. Otherwise, how could she have had two children with the man who later abandoned them?

Thinking of this, my mood took a dip again. But what made me even angrier was the fact that I couldn't control these unexplainable emotions.

"Doctor, why is he covered in bandages?" I asked again.

The doctor, eyes wide as saucers, immediately corrected himself. "Oh, forgive me. I meant to say it's quite serious. Yes, very serious indeed. The child fell down from a slope, so his whole body is injured. It'll take at least six months for him to recover."

I sneered in disdain. This doctor was making up some bullshit excuse. He didn't dare to look into my eyes when he spoke, and his words were contradictory.

I was about to lose my temper with him, but this man was my mother's personal doctor. He had taken care of her for the longest time, and I knew he had done his best to keep her in good shape. In order not to cause any family conflicts, I decided against punishing the doctor and made him leave first.

The doctor nearly bolted as soon as I dismissed him. He disappeared from my sight in mere seconds. Perhaps he was frightened out of his wits.

I looked up at the brightly lit room on the third floor and suddenly felt a little frustrated. For the first time, the mountainous official documents seemed more interesting to me, or at least, they weren't as troublesome.

When I made it to the end of the corridor, I found the driver waiting for me outside. I was about to get in the car when I suddenly remembered that I hadn't told my mother I was leaving, so I went back to the third floor to say goodbye.

Perhaps she had grown fond of both Beryl and this little boy. The whole corridor was filled with the laughter of my mother and the boy. I had never seen her so happy before. I began to reflect on whether I should get married and have a child as well...

On second thought, I felt that something was odd. There were so many newborn babies or toddlers who just learned to walk among the royal family's relatives. They were related to us by blood, but Laura wasn't as happy to see those children.

Was it like love at first sight, except with children? It was undeniable that Beryl was an adorable girl. She was lovely. As for the little boy in the room, he probably looked just as cute as Beryl. Since my mother liked him so much, he must've been quite a character, too.

I sighed quietly. When I was about to knock on the door, I heard the little boy call my mother Grandma.

I thought I heard it wrong. But the little boy called her Grandma several times in a row, and they seemed to be very familiar with each other. It didn't look like he had just met her today.
