Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 930 Fate Is Amazing
Crystal’s POV:
Seeing the sincerity in Rufus’ eyes, I doubted he was lying. I grumbled to express my dissatisfaction.
Rufus looked away. He seemed to be embarra*s*sed, but then he put on a serious look and explained, “It was the doctor who told me that. Only God knows if Beryl will ever get her memory back. Maybe when the congestion in her brain is completely cleared, she’ll go back to normal.”
“I hope so.” I sighed helplessly. I should’ve been thankful. It was already a miracle that my two kids survived such a harrowing event. As long as they were both safe and sound, I didn’t dare to ask God for more.
I said to Rufus softly, “Can I hold her?”
“Sure.” Rufus didn’t hesitate this time and was about to give Beryl to me.
But Beryl suddenly woke up at this time. As soon as she saw me, she burst into tears.
My heart sank. My sweet girl really didn’t remember me at all.
Beryl cried so hard that her face turned as red as a tomato. She clung to Rufus’ neck tightly with her chubby arms and refused to let me touch her.
“Sweetie, it’s Mommy. Can I please hug you?” I felt like I was going to cry, too. No mother would want to encounter such a thing.
“Hey, take it easy. She might be afraid of people now because of the trauma.” Rufus patted Beryl’s back to calm her down while comforting me at the same time.
Dejected, I stood a few steps away from Rufus. I wanted to hold my baby girl, but I couldn’t. It was a terrible feeling.
Rufus soon successfully made Beryl stop crying. The little girl calmed down and burped in Rufus’ arms, her eyes red and puffy from the crying. She looked so pitiful. I felt sorry for her, but there was nothing I could do about it. Beryl couldn’t remember me and didn’t want me anywhere near her. She even didn’t let me straighten the strawberry hair band on her head. She made Rufus do it.
I sighed helplessly and felt at a total loss. I pulled out the cand*ies from my pocket and pressed them onto Rufus’ palm. “Give her these.”
Rufus didn’t say anything. When he handed the cand*ies to Beryl, the latter took it obed*iently.
This only made me feel worse. How come Rufus won my daughter’s trust so easily?
Was it because they shared the same blood? But Beryl didn’t know that Rufus was her father, and Rufus didn’t know that Beryl was his daughter.
I pursed my lips bitterly.
Beryl smiled as soon as she munched on a candy. Her lovely smile lifted my spirits, so I mustered up the courage to try again. “Can I hold you now, sweetie?”
Rufus handed Beryl over to me without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, Beryl cupped Rufus’ cheeks with both hands and asked, “Daddy, you don’t want me anymore?” I was so shocked that my blood ran cold. My first thought was that Rufus had found out the truth about his daughter.
But when I saw the embarra*s*sed look on Rufus’ face, I calmed down. Beryl had lost her memory, so it was normal for her to call the first man she met “Daddy”.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and loosened my clenched fists.
Beryl kept calling Rufus daddy over and over again. Rufus seemed to like it, but I didn’t.
“Why does Beryl call you that?” I muttered unhappily. “Maybe it’s because I saved her, so she relies on me now,” Rufus answered as he unwrapped the cand*ies for Beryl.
I fell silent. Mixed feelings plagued my heart when I saw the way they interacted. I had always thought that Beryl and Arron wouldn’t be able to see their father for the rest of their lives. But the truth was that fate was amazing. After a series of twists and turns, Beryl still ended up in her father’s arms.
Fate always played tricks like this. The more we wanted to avoid something, the more impossible it was for us to run from it. For now, I could only take it one step at a time.
