Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 1071 Who Was Lying
Laura’s POV:
My son was lying on the bed with a pale face while the doctor was tending his wound. This had been the worst injury he had ever suffered since he took office.
I glanced worriedly at the horrible cut on his chest and asked the doctor again, “How long will it take for his wound to heal?”
While bandaging my son, the doctor answered respectfully, “Fortunately, someone had already treated the wound and applied herbs on it in time, which stopped the wound from worsening. Now it’s only a matter of time before it heals.”
I was relieved to hear this. “That’s good.”
“Mom, don’t worry. The wound is not that deep. I will recover soon.” Rufus comforted me with a smile. But the next second, he grimaced in pain.
I immediately became nervous again and said, “Don’t say anything and just lie down. You must work less while you’re recovering. Leave some unimportant matters aside for the time being.”
Rufus said helplessly, “Mom, I’m the king. I can’t rest.”
I couldn’t help but feel bitter in my heart. Ethan was the same when he was the lycan king. The most important thing for him was always rendering his service to the people as their leader. He almost ignored his own health. In the end, his body had deteriorated to the point that no one could cure him. I sighed and didn’t know how to persuade Rufus. Before he lost his memory, he would listen to Crystal. Now that he didn’t remember anything, he listened to nobody.
“Mom, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing,” he rea*s*sured, sensing my distress.
I sighed and raised my sight at him at Rufus, complaining, “You’re a grown up, and I can’t decide for you. I just hope that you really know what you’re doing.”
After a brief pause, I asked, “So what happened this time? How could the vampire catch you off guard?” Rufus tightened his lips, and his eyes flashed a trace of anger. As soon as he talked about the vampires, his demeanor changed drastically for the worst. “I didn’t expect that the Alpha of the Cherry Bay Pack had already been k*il*led by the vampires. What was more, his corpse was turned into a puppet by a vampire who had the power to command it. They deceived and led me into a trap.”
“What kind of trap could make you so badly injured?” I didn’t understand. My son is so powerful that hardly nobody could harm him, except maybe a witch.
“At that time, the trap was set with many complicated spells. One of them was crafted from
the blood of a witch mixed with the blood of a vampire. It was the magic with the same strong deterrent effect on a werewolf as a silver bullet,” Rufus said in a low voice with a gloomy expression on his face.
Hearing this, I felt a little uneasy. If such was the case, it meant that the vampires had probably formed an alliance with the witches. For the past hundreds of years, except for black witches, most witches and wizards had always been neutral. How could they suddenly be willing to help the vampires fight the werewolves?
“Fortunately, Adela came to my rescue and applied some healing herbs on my wound. Otherwise, I would have already been dead,” Rufus added, u
Subconsciously, I took a look at the girl who had been standing by the bed without saying a word from the very beginning. The girl wore her hair in braids and kept her head lowered. Noticing how her ears were a little flushed, I could tell that she was a shy and reserved person.
I had a strange feeling in my gut. Crystal was supposed to be the one who saved Rufus. I knew everything because she told me so. But why did the girl in front of me claimed she rescued Rufus?
Who was lying?
