The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1229

Rufus' POV:

Crystal carefully concealed the meticulously crafted origami bears beneath a plush pillow, as if they were precious jewels. But to her dismay, as soon as she reclined, the bear limbs lay in tatters.

She scowled and wept. "They're ruined."

What a foolish girl!

I gingerly rubbed my forehead, resigned to the fact that I had no other choice but to tuck the crumpled creations into a storage box. "I'll fold some for you again."

Crystal's face lit up like a lantern, her eyes wide and earnest as she gushed, "You're so kind! I want one hundred more! They'll look beautiful on my shelf! And let's make them with colorful paper!"

I gasped for breath, my words caught in my throat. "Don't worry. It's a simple task. I'll hand them over to you tomorrow."

One hundred of them? No problem. It was a mere origami folded into the shape of a bear. As the lycan king, was it not within my capabilities?

After coaxing Crystal, I took the medicine and helped her swallow it.

Crystal scrunched up her nose at the sight of the murky black liquid. "Can I not drink it?" Her eyes sparkled as she made her humble request.

"No, you can't. You will recover soon after drinking it." I maintained a stern demeanor and steeled myself as I served her the cooled mixture.

Undeterred by the unappetizing appearance, Crystal vigorously shook her head and grabbed the bowl of medicine. "I'll chug it all down in one go," she declared boldly, hands balled into tiny fists.

After she spoke, she hastily swallowed a bowl of medicine. Her eyes bulged as she tasted the intensity of its bitterness and almost cried out in surprise.

Without delay, I placed a piece of candy into her mouth, reassuring her, "The sweetness of this candy cancels out the bitterness of the medicine."
