Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince
Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 1216

(Rufus’ POV)

I saw right through my mother’s act the moment she hit the floor. Her acting skills were so poor, it was all I could do not to laugh outright.

But what could I do in this situation? Since she had gone to such lengths to try and hoodwink me, I felt obligated to pick her up and carry her to bed.

“Guards,” I called out to the men stationed outside. “Call for the doctor and tell him to get here as soon as possible.”

I watched as my mother’s eyelids fluttered. She probably wasn’t expecting me to call a doctor over.

But I let her be. She was still my mother, after all. If she didn’t want to divulge her secrets to me, then I would not force her hand. I would just have to wait for Crystal to wake up and ask her. And if that didn’t work still, I’d just have my people investigate the matter. I didn’t think I would come up empty-handed in the end.

I sat by my mother’s bedside and waited for the doctor to arrive. She was doing her best to stay still.

Not wanting to make things difficult for her, I stood up and went outside.

No sooner had I gone past the door than I heard the rustling sound of her turning over in the bed.

I just smiled and said nothing. Life had not been easy on my mother. She had been depressed ever since my father died. It wasn’t until Beryl and Arron came that I saw her regain the energy she once had.

So, no matter what secrets she was hiding with Crystal, I made up my mind not to condemn them.

The doctor arrived shortly after, and I ushered him in to give my mother an examination.

She was still pretending to be unconscious. I glanced at the fan, which had fallen on the floor. It was on the nightstand when I exited the room. She must have used it at some point and tried to put it back in a hurry.

I picked it up without a word and set it back to its original place.

After checking her, the doctor turned to me and said, “It’s nothing serious. I believe she is a little distressed. I’ll prescribe her some medicine, and she will be better after a good rest.”

I nodded. “In any case, please do a full check-up on my mother. She has been fainting a lot these days. I’m really worried about her.”

“Of course. I will arrange it right away.” The doctor scurried away, presumably to fetch his instruments and whatnot.

I sat by my mother’s bed and said, “Get some rest, Mom. You can explain everything to me when you wake up. Crystal’s condition is still uncertain. I can’t leave her alone for too long. I’ll take my leave now.”

Sure enough, my mother opened her eyes and let out a fake cough. “Yes, yes, you may go. I’ll be fine.”

“Yes, have a good rest.” I stepped out of the room and told a maid to keep an eye on my mother. I had no doubt that she would be up and running as soon as I left her palace.

But before that, I dropped by the children’s room. They were sleeping soundly on the same bed, their heads pressed against each other.

I sat on a stool beside their bed and reached out to t*ouch their faces.

A keen sense of contentment filled me.

Now that I thought about it, if I looked more closely, Beryl resembled me, too. We shared the same nose and mouth. But overall, she looked a lot like Crystal.

I felt like I was losing my mind.

I had yet to confirm the truth with facts, but in my heart, I was already sure of my suspicions.

Suddenly, Arron flailed and shouted, “Mommy!” He seemed to be having a nightmare.

I stroked his back and hummed a children’s lullaby to comfort him.

Arron continued to frown and fidget for a while, but he soon drifted back to sleep. I breathed a sigh of relief. I stood up quietly and left my mother’s palace, taking the same path as before.

I didn’t know how Crystal was doing in the short time I was not by her side. I quickened my pace, and before I knew it, I was jogging back to where she was.
