The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1214

Rufus' POV:

I walked past Laura and Arron and went straight to Beryl's room. I opened the door and found her sleeping soundly on the bed.

According to the doctor, Beryl had used a lot of energy, but she would be fine as long as she had enough sleep. I sat on the edge of the bed and watched her sleep for a while.

In truth, I was expecting her to be awake by now. The encounter must have taken a great toll on her tiny body.

I had no idea how long I sat there, but soon, the door creaked open, and Laura walked in with Arron.

The little boy scrambled up the bed and peered at his sister. He held out his hand, then carefully poked her flushed cheek with his finger.

"Why is she not waking up?" Arron asked, looking up at me with worried eyes.

"Don't worry," I replied. "She's just sleeping. She needs to sleep a little bit more to recover."

"In that case, I want to stay by her side until she wakes up." Arron crossed his arms over his chest, which made him look like a man on a mission. He kept his gaze fixed on the sleeping Beryl.

My mother walked over, then, and hugged the boy from behind. "Now, dear, let's not disturb your sister while she rests, okay? Let's head to bed. Who knows, by the time you wake up, Beryl might be awake as well."

"All right." Arron was still reluctant, but he couldn't resist yawning. "I am a little sleepy, Grandma."

"Then let's go to bed." My mother took his hand and led him to the door.

Shortly after they left, I exited the room as well, and plopped down on the sofa in the living room.

I picked up the cup of black tea a maid had prepared and waited patiently.
