Rufus' POV:
Although Crystal had regained consciousness, it wasn't safe to leave her alone now. I was worried about her, so I took my work home so that I could keep her company.
The amusement park had been shut down and was being investigated by the royal family. The abducted and trafficked children had all been hospitalized for examination and treatment. Several traffickers who had been pushed forward to shoulder all the blames were punished according to the law. Additionally, I deployed a large number of soldiers to guard the passes of all the cities. I was determined to capture Lee.
The infiltration of the vampires was also a problem. All the packs had begun to investigate civilian forces and began cleansing them on a large scale.
Crystal's situation could only be kept concealed temporarily. After all, she was still the Alpha of the border pack. Announcing the news of her slow-wittedness would be bothersome.
Fortunately, Blair had taken charge of the border pack for now, ensuring that there wouldn't be any trouble.
If it worked out well, perhaps he could be made fully responsible for the affairs of the border pack in the future. If that happened, I wouldn't let Crystal leave easily.
Unless she could give me a clear explanation, and the reason she lied to me was good enough, I would stop her from leaving at the airport again.
I massaged my temples. I had too many issues on my plate to deal with.
Although everyone in connection to the amusement park, except Lee, had been nabbed, we hadn't been able to find anything wrong with the operating procedures of the park. Only Crystal knew who she had met that day and what had happened. But she had lost her memory now and I was at a loss for what to do.
With a sigh, I jotted down something on the official document. Then, Crystal's voice reached my ears.
"Can you give me a glass of water? I'm parched."
I had no choice but to get up and pour her a glass of warm water.
With a sweet smile, she said, "Thank you."
"Drink it." I handed her the glass.
