The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1209

Rufus' POV:

Crystal was being tortured, not just by one, but by three different kinds of power. Her veins stood out on the back of her hands, and her body continued to burn.

I carried her back to the bed and prepared a basin of water to wipe her with. I needed to get her temperature down first.

No medicine could help her, and from what I had just seen, the painkillers didn't do much, either.

If Crystal's fever continued much longer, her body might burn to ashes before it could explode.

Towels were changed one after another, the basin emptied and refilled repeatedly. The blood curse was so potent that several towels caught sparks of flames as soon as they made contact with her skin. I couldn't even imagine the pain Crystal must be going through.

The blood stains on her body were cleaned, but she was sweating endlessly.

I stared at her face, twisted in agony, and my heart ached. I didn't even understand why I was reacting like that, but I was adamant about not letting her die. I refused to even entertain the possibility. If I could, I would have traded places with her in a heartbeat.

I wiped the sweat off her face in a loving caress. I didn't know what else to do. How could I comfort her? How could I make this better?

Words were of no use at this time. I just wish I could be the one in pain instead of her.

Damn that bastard, Lee! I will hunt him down and chop him into pieces!
