Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince
Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 771

Sylvia’s POV:

The doctor let out an embarrassed laugh. “I see you already know about it, Miss Todd.”

“Yes, I do. Now, just tell me the truth and advise me on what need to do for my baby. I promise I’ll pay more attention.”

The doctor nodded. “Alright, Miss Todd.”

After that, he told me a lot of things, such as getting proper rest and having a good state of mind. He also told me about doing exercises every day, eating lots of fruits and veggies for natural vitamins, avoiding radiation, and having regular prenatal examinations.

“Another unique method of the werewolf race is to transform into a wolf and bask in the sun with your mate,” he added.

I gave him a bewildered look when I heard that. I didn’t mind basking in the sun with Rufus, but I just didn’t understand why doing so was good for my pregnancy.

I was the one carrying the baby, not Rufus. How would basking in the sun with him benefit me? Couldn’t I just do this on my own?

The doctor simply smiled. “The purpose of that method is to strengthen the bond between the parents. In your case, the baby will be able to feel the connection between you and your mate, and after you give birth, your baby will grow healthy.”

His reason seemed a little far-fetched, but I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt. How would I be able to know if I didn’t try?

After the doctor explained everything, I gave him a wide smile. “I’ll be leaving now, then. Please don’t tell Rufus that I’ve been here. Or else, I’ll tell him that you were the one who told me about the baby’s condition.”

The doctor wordlessly adjusted his glasses again and nodded. Before I left, I happened to notice sweat trickling down his forehead, which made me chuckle.

As I happily left the hospital, I felt relieved. Our baby was doing better than I thought. As long as I took good care of myself, there wouldn’t be any problems.

I had to leave soon and take care of my child alone in the future anyway.

After going back to the army, I talked to Harry. I didn’t have anything to do during the afternoon, so I went downtown alone and brought lots of clothes for Rufus. Ethan amply rewarded all the soldiers who did a good job last time when we were on the border. Just like me, Flora and Harry had also been rewarded. The money we each got was enough for an ordinary family to live a life of comfort for several years.

When I passed by a jewelry store, I bought a necklace and a silk scarf for Maya. I knew she was just in her early thirties, but her fashion sense was quite old-fashioned, so I decided to give her a favor by buying some stuff for her.

I gave Maya the silk scarf and the necklace when I went back to the palace. Tears welled up in her eyes when she took the items I bought for her. She didn’t expect me to buy her gifts. Not to mention, she told me that was the first time someone had ever bought her something.

I smiled and gave her a warm, loving hug. “I’m sure you’ll receive more gifts in the future and even meet the mate who will love you wholeheartedly.”

Maya was delighted to hear that and was very grateful to me. She decided to return the favor by heading straight to the kitchen to make my favorite dessert.

For her, the most direct way for her to show her appreciation was to make food.

I told her that she didn’t need to cook for me, but she insisted. I just smiled and let her be.

During the evening, I decided to cook a special dinner for Rufus. When I was done cooking, I just sat by the door and waited for his return.

Rufus was a little surprised by my actions. He didn’t expect me to be so enthusiastic today. “Honey, you haven’t been like this for a while.”

My heart ached a little. I had recently neglected him because of the curse, and I felt bad for it. I wrapped my arms around him and gave him a tight hug before whispering, “From now on, we’ll be like this every day. Let’s live a happy life together.”

“Okay,” Rufus said in an audible whisper as he hugged me back.

Maybe I did that because I suddenly realized that I would leave sooner or later. I had already counted down to my departure, so I was cherishing every minute I spent with Rufus. I relied more on him this time because I wanted to be with him more than ever.

It was so stupid of me to decide to move out and even think that would make things easier.

After spending several days with Rufus like this, the day that I planned to escape the imperial palace had finally arrived.
