Crystal's POV:
"Why did you say that, Baby Beryl?" I asked Beryl softly, feeling a little nervous.
How could such a young child have such a deep understanding of human nature? Her words were truly strange.
I knew my daughter well. She was an innocent and naive girl who rarely came into contact with the dark side of humanity, let alone talked about human nature.
"I don't know. I might have recalled it from some cartoon I watched. Mommy, I'm going to sleep. Good night." Beryl yawned, curled herself into a comfortable position in my arms, and shut her eyes again.
I fell into a trance and quietly gazed at the little girl in my arms for a long time.
When her breathing finally steadied, I reached out and gently stroked her face. It felt familiar, and even her breath felt familiar. This little girl was indeed my child.
But why did everything about her feel strange?
I contemplated it, which kept me awake, so I got out of bed and tiptoed out of the room.
To my surprise, Rufus was still waiting for me outside.
"Why didn't you go to sleep?" I asked in an astonished voice.
" I guessed you wouldn't be able to sleep." Rufus grabbed my hand with a smile and mischievously asked, "Do you think this is the telepathy between
mates?"
"Don't be mouthy," I retorted with a pout.
Rufus squeezed my hand and hauled me into his arms. "Since you can't fall asleep, let's go for a walk."
It wasn't very late. The palace was well-lit and fireworks were being set off outside the city center.
