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 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?
