The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1216

Rufus' POV:

I saw right through my mother's act the moment she hit the floor. Her acting skills were so poor, it was all I could do not to laugh outright.

But what could I do in this situation? Since she had gone to such lengths to try and hoodwink me, I felt obligated to pick her up and carry her to bed.

"Guards," I called out to the men stationed outside. "Call for the doctor and tell him to get here as soon as possible."

I watched as my mother's eyelids fluttered. She probably wasn't expecting me to call a doctor over.

But I let her be. She was still my mother, after all. If she didn't want to divulge her secrets to me, then I would not force her hand. I would just have to wait for Crystal to wake up and ask her. And if that didn't work still, I'd just have my people investigate the matter. I didn't think I would come up empty-handed in the end.

I sat by my mother's bedside and waited for the doctor to arrive. She was doing her best to stay still.

Not wanting to make things difficult for her, I stood up and went outside.

No sooner had I gone past the door than I heard the rustling sound of her turning over in the bed.

I just smiled and said nothing. Life had not been easy on my mother. She had been depressed ever since my father died. It wasn't until Beryl and Arron came that I saw her regain the energy she once had.

So, no matter what secrets she was hiding with Crystal, I made up my mind not to condemn them.

The doctor arrived shortly after, and I ushered him in to give my mother an examination.

She was still pretending to be unconscious. I glanced at the fan, which had fallen on the floor. It was on the nightstand when I exited the room. She must have used it at some point and tried to put it back in a hurry.

I picked it up without a word and set it back to its original place.

After checking her, the doctor turned to me and said, "It's nothing serious. I believe she is a little distressed. I'll prescribe her some medicine, and she will be better after a good rest."
