Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 929 Just A Child
Rufus’ POV:
The masked she-wolf claimed to be the girl’s mother, but my first instinct was to not believe her. However, when I saw the sadness in her eyes, I couldn’t help but feel that she was telling the truth.
The girl in my arms slumped her shoulders. It seemed she was also in a bad mood.
The she-wolf’s hand holding the cand*ies slowly dropped to her side, and her dark green eyes were full of disappointment. At this moment, my heart inexplicably softened. Before I could stop myself, I suddenly blurted, “You’re married?”
The second those two words left my mouth, I regretted it. Her personal affairs had nothing to do with me.
Just then, I happened to meet the she-wolf’s eyes. Her beautiful eyes looked just like the little girl’s.
At that moment, I finally believed they were indeed mother and daughter.
The she-wolf started to shake her head at first, but then she seemed to realize something and nodded awkwardly instead.
I narrowed my eyes at her suspiciously. Something wasn’t right about her reaction. Before I could press her further, the she-wolf spoke first.
“Her father abandoned us and eloped with another she- wolf before she was born.”
As she spoke, she gritted her teeth and looked angry. It seemed that she really was a poor single mother.
But the thought of this she-wolf was actually married and even had a kid made me very irritable. I didn’t know why. It was a feeling more difficult to deal with than a tricky official document.
“I never thought that the man who promised to be with me for the rest of his life would suddenly change his mind. But fortunately, I have my Beryl. She’s the greatest gift God has given me.” With tears in her eyes, the she-wolf looked at the little girl lovingly. I happened to notice that the skin around her eyes looked flawless.
All of a sudden, I felt the urge to take the mask off her face, but I knew that I couldn’t do that. This she-wolf was obviously a person with high self-esteem and vigilance. One false move and I’d get the opposite of what I wanted. Besides, the she-wolf seemed to care about her disfigured face very much. Maybe her husband abandoned her and her child because of it…
What a jerk! I secretly despised the she-wolf’s ex-husband in my heart and felt pity for the little girl. The little girl lost her father before she was even born, and her mother was so careless and not reliable. After all, how could she have lost her child in the first place?
The little girl in my arms rested her head on my shoulder. She seemed to be tuckered out.
The she-wolf reached out and wanted to take the girl. I pursed my lips and looked at her uneasily, but I didn’t step away this time.
The girl had fallen asleep now, and she no longer resisted the she-wolf s touch.
“What happened? How come she doesn’t remember me?” The she-wolf looked a little anxious. Worried that she’d wake the girl up, she lowered her voice.
By now, my doubts about the she-wolf were dispelled. So, I told her everything the doctor had said to me.
As expected, the she-wolf became even more distressed after hearing that. “It’s all my fault. If I had known, I would’ve taken her with me. God! She’s just a child. She must be traumatized.”
For some reason, I couldn’t bear to see her so sad. I hadn’t intended to say more, but I found myself trying to comfort her.
“Maybe it’s temporary. Don’t worry.”
“When will she regain her memory?”
The she-wolf looked up at me. There was a certain desperation in her eyes that made me feel sorry for her. A second later, I came to my senses and averted my gaze. “Maybe a few days. Maybe a few months, or even a few years,” I echoed the doctor’s answer in a low voice. I repeated the doctor’s words, but the she-wolf rolled her eyes at me and said, “You are just talking nonsense!”
