Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince
Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 685

Rufus’ POV:

Edwin got sentimental about the past. When he explained the events that had occurred, his expression grew heavy.

“No one expected that to happen.” He inhaled deeply and stopped talking.

“What exactly happened?” I asked curiously.

These days, very few accidents could cause prolonged memory loss. After all, medical technology had taken great strides forward.

Even if Leonard had suffered a head injury, it was impossible for him to not have even one memory come back over the years, especially when he loved that woman so deeply.

Edwin just shook his head and refused to add anything else. He just told me what went down after the accident. “Leonard had completely forgotten about those three months with Olivia. After that, he agreed to the marriage arranged by the elders in our pack. In the following days, he lived a methodical life like the vast majority of people. He began smiling again only after Alina was born.”

Back then, Leonard was married to the daughter of another pack’s Alpha. I had attended the wedding with the lycan king.

“What about Olivia? Where did she go?” I asked.

Edwin sighed. “She went back to her pack with their baby. You know everything that happened after that. When Olivia d*ied, Leonard seemed to have sensed it somehow. He fell seriously ill. I didn’t know someone from her pack had set Olivia up back then. I only found out about her death after the news spread later.”

I sipped my whiskey silently, my heart sinking. If Sylvia found out about these events, she would be incredibly sad.

Judging from Edwin’s tone, Leonard and Olivia underwent a f0rced separation. But what on earth could make two people who loved each other so intensely part ways?

“Can you give me details of the accident?”

Edwin’s face was a mask of regret. “I’m sorry. I promised Olivia that I wouldn’t reveal it to a single soul. But please trust me. I don’t mean to cause harm to anyb*ody. Maybe this is better for both Sylvia and Leonard. This was Olivia’s choice. I hope you can respect her wishes.”

I was at a loss for words for a while. I didn’t know if I should agree with his stance or not.

Sylvia had always wanted to replace her biological father. Now he was within her reach, but she couldn’t know the truth. I didn’t want her to remain in the dark for the rest of her life.

However, Edwin was insisting that I honor Olivia’s wishes.

“The truth will come to light sooner or later, Edwin. Sylvia and Leonard are both highly perceptive people. Are you sure you will be able to bury the truth forever by yourself?” I said in a frosty voice.

Right now, Sylvia mistakenly considered Edwin to be her biological father. This made it easier for Edwin to keep the secret, for now. But the truth would eventually be exposed. If he confessed the truth to Sylvia and Leonard at that time, neither of them would be able to reconcile to it.

Leonard was getting progressively weaker every day. I was genuinely scared that Sylvia would never get the chance to meet him as her father. Irrespective of the magnitude of misunderstandings present, concealing the truth was still very cruel.

Edwin pondered over this for a while. As if coming to a decision, he had a firm look in his eyes as he said, “As long as I’m alive, I won’t let anyone else discover that Leonard is Sylvia’s biological father. Prince Rufus, I hope you will cooperate with me and keep this secret.”

There was nothing I could say.

Just as we reached this impasse, Leonard abruptly charged in and questioned Edwin with bloodshot eyes, “What the hell are you talking about? You have hidden so much from me! How could you do this? Do you think I’m blind and stupid?”

Edwin shot to his feet, his face deathly pale with fear. “Leonard, what… Why are you here all of a sudden?”
