Sylvia's POV:
I finally relaxed when Lena explained everything to me in detail.
I accepted the truth and didn't want to face Lena anymore.
"Let's go back." I tugged at the corner of Rufus ' shirt and whispered to him.
Rufus held my hand and led me to the door. Then, he ordered his men to keep a close watch on Lena before ushering me out.
I was excited to come here. But now, I felt depressed and heartbroken.
I leaned against the car window and watched the scenery flash past me. Rufus reached out and touched my face. "Are you feeling stuffy?"
I nodded and said in a nasal voice, "Yes. I wish I could jump into a big icy river and swim to my heart's content."
Rufus didn't say anything. He rolled down the window beside the driver's seat. The rush of cold wind instantly awakened me.
Then, he stopped the car, and I turned around to look at him in confusion.
"Wait for me in the car," he said, rubbing my head soothingly.
With that, Rufus strode away and quickly disappeared from my sight.
He finally returned when I felt drowsy and was about to fall asleep. "Where have you been?" I asked softly.
Rufus took my hand and placed a small box on it. Under the transparent cover was a soft white cream cake with fresh blueberries on it.
All traces of sleep disappeared in an instant. I happily removed the cover and smiled gratefully. "Is there a cake shop nearby?"
