Rufus' POV:
Together with the gray wolf, I rushed back to the hospital. Just when we were finally about to reach Sylvia's ward, I turned around.
"Awoo...?" The gray wolf sniffed the air in confusion, seeming to have picked up Sylvia's scent. It rushed over to the ward and pawed the door, telling me to open it.
"Just wait here for a while. I'll have the laboratory test this plant."
I quickly then made my way to the lab.
Just in case, I thought it would be better to have the doctors check the plant first whether it was poisonous or not. I did not dare gamble on Sylvia's life simply on an unknown plant.
When I got back from the lab, I spotted the gray wolf baring its teeth at the door of the ward. Its body language told me that it was very anxious and tense, ready to bust down the door at any moment.
I hurriedly opened the door for it and the wolf rushed it immediately.
Sylvia was still lying in her bed with a coma.
I walked over and caress her smooth forehead. "When the results for the plant test comes out, you're going to wake up soon."
The gray wolf growled at what I said. It seemed to be disdainful. It nudged me away from the side of Sylvia's bed so that it could climb on top and lie down beside her.
I didn't bother stopping the wolf, thinking that Sylvia would be very happy to have its accompaniment.
Anxiously, I paced back and forth. I couldn't just sit down and stay calm until the test results had come out.
Never in my life had I felt like time was passing by so slowly.
Even the gray wolf became anxious as well. It hopped off the bed and nipped at my trousers. It seemed to be telling me it wanted to go somewhere.
At this time, the door creaked open and in came Ferrill with the results.
"What's the news?" Without waiting for him to respond, I took the clipboard and read it for myself.
The gray wolf jumped onto the table beside me and placed a paw on my arm, wanting to read it too.
