Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 1033 A Possibility
Rufus’ POV:
As for the matter with Crystal, I didn’t want to argue with my mother anymore. Taking a glance at Beryl, who was sleeping soundly, I asked, “Mom, what do you think is the matter with Beryl? She has been sleeping for so long, but she still hasn’t woken up yet.”
Hearing my words, she immediately panicked and she looked at me nervously. “Right, why is she still sleeping? Do we need to call the doctor?”
“I’ve called the doctor just now. He said that there is nothing serious. She is probably just asleep.” As I spoke, I was a little surprised to see the evident change of expression on her face. As far as I could remember, my mother, who was always calm and composed, rarely revealed such rich facial expressions.
Judging from the signs this whole time, I was sure that there must be some secrets between her and Crystal.
Ever since my father’s death, it had been rare for my mother to be so emotional or so willful like this. Since Crystal came, she no longer lived in seclusion in her palace. The arrival of Beryl seemed to have brought a lot of joy to her.
Besides, since Beryl had lost her memory and argue with my mother anymore. Taking a glance at Beryl, who was sleeping soundly, I asked, “Mom, what do you think is the matter with Beryl? She has been sleeping for so long, but she still hasn’t woken up yet.”
Hearing my words, she immediately panicked and she looked at me nervously. “Right, why is she still sleeping? Do we need to call the doctor?”

Ever since my father’s death, it had been rare for my mother to be so emotional or so willful like this. Since Crystal came, she no longer lived in seclusion in her palace. The arrival of Beryl seemed to have brought a lot of joy to her.
Besides, since Beryl had lost her memory and thought I was her Daddy, I could understand why she called my mother Grandma. What I couldn’t understand was why Arron called her Grandma as well.
Not to mention that they seemed to be strangely close to each other. In fact, just as my mother said, I was her son and she knew me well. In return, I also knew what kind of person my mother was.
She was never hospitable or enthusiastic about dealing with people before. At most, she would show a considerate amount of respect in regard of other people’s feelings.
So, when I first saw her being so enthusiastic about Arron and Beryl, I was surprised and suspicious at the same time.
I decided to take actions against Crystal only after what happened at the ball.
I had thought Arron’s bandage was just to cover his wounds, but when I noticed the guilty and scared expression on her face when I was about to check his wounds, I guessed that things were not that simple.
It was as if she was afraid that I might see something, but I didn’t understand why. Arron was just a kid. Why was she so defensive about showing me his face?
Could it be that there was anything wrong with his face?
But Arron and Beryl were twins. Seeing that everything was normal with Beryl, it couldn’t be the case. Although they had different tempers, they should look fairly the same.
Of course, I couldn’t rule out the possibility that they might look different. It was possible that Beryl looked like Crystal, while Arron’s gene took after their father.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind.
However, before I could think about it carefully, my mother’s voice interrupted my train of thoughts. “Did the doctor tell you when Beryl is likely to wake up?” my mother asked as she looked at me worriedly.
I shook my head. “No, he didn’t.”
Before I came to see my mother, I asked the doctor to do a check-up for Beryl just in case. Although I knew that Crystal wouldn’t hurt Beryl, I wanted to know how she managed to make her fall asleep.
However, the result was that there was nothing wrong with Beryl, nor was there any trace of medicine in her system.
So, there was only one possibility left, which was witchcraft.
This conjecture undoubtedly made me more wary of Crystal.
Holding Beryl’s hand, my mother turned and said to me, “Although her mother did something impulsive, I hope you won’t get angry with Beryl.”
I looked at her in confusion and retorted, “Of course not. Beryl didn’t do anything. How could I blame her for her mother’s mistake? No matter what, Beryl is a good girl. Since she believes that I’m her father, I should treat her well.”
In fact, if Crystal could agree, I could even become Beryl’s godfather. In this way, there would be more reasons for Beryl to stay with me.
It was a pity that that she-wolf was a tough nut to crack. I was sure that she would never agree for something like this.
My mother felt relieved to hear his answer and nodded. “It’s good then.”
