The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 142

Sylvia's POV:

I was shocked for a few seconds, then it was replaced by excitement. "Really? What did you find?"

"Come on, calm down and listen to me first." Rufus patted my head to comfort me. "I found a key witness."

"Key witness? How did you do it? It had been so many years, so I thought it was like looking for a needle in a haystack," I said, looking at him in surprise.

"It's actually a long story. The reason why I didn't come to see you these past few days before the ball was that I was dealing with this matter," Rufus answered.

"I want to see that witness. Take me to that person." I held his hand anxiously as I spoke. As long as I saw the witness, my mother's unjust case would be corrected soon. I endured so many years of humiliation. The day I had been waiting for finally came.

"Sylvia, I'm sorry but you have to wait for a while longer." Rufus pulled me back. "The witness is in a very dangerous situation right now. We can't alert the enemy yet."

"I'm sorry, I..." I held his hand helplessly with tears in my eyes. "It's just that every time I think of my mother, I can't control my emotions."

"I understand because I know how you feel." I knew that Rufus felt sorry for me. He gently held me in his arms and added, "But now, the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. Many things still need to be carefully arranged. So be more patient and endure for a little more while, okay?"

I nodded my head slightly and asked, "What do you mean the witness is in a dangerous situation?"

"I found that aside from me, two other forces were looking for the same witness. One of them found her before I did and almost killed her," Rufus explained to me patiently.

"Then what happened?" I asked, looking at him nervously.

"Fortunately, I arrived in time to save her. Now, she is in somewhere safe with my people. Since you don't have class this weekend, I'll take you to see her."
