Sylvia's POV:
My eyes fluttered open slowly, only to be greeted by the white ceiling and the wet nose of a wolf. I then heard an excited howl.
I didn't realize until I fully came to my senses that a gray wolf was nudging my shoulder with its snout.
Grey? Why was it here?
Shouldn't it be in the forbidden forest?
What about Rufus?
I was both confused and surprised. When I was about to speak, I found that my throat was still too dry. No sound came out of my mouth.
At this time, I felt a pair of hands help me sit up. It was Rufus.
I turned to him in a daze. He must have not shaved for days. His clothes looked disheveled too.
"Have some water."
Rufus gave me a glass of water. After gulping the whole glass down, I felt much better.
"What happened? I feel so weak..." I managed to croak out. Even just sitting up was still tiring, so I had to lean against Rufus' chest.
Rufus' hand came up to my face and wiped my mouth. "You got poisoned and was in a coma for a while. You just woke up."
Even though it was just a few words, it was enough information. I knotted my eyebrows. "How did I get poisoned? I don't remember eating anything bad."
"Don't move. Just stay in my arms for a while." Rufus pulled me into an embrace and sighed. "You scared me to death."
Refusing to be outdone, the gray wolf craned its neck, trying to get me to pat its head. But Rufus immediately pushed it out of the bed with his one hand.
"Hey, don't be so mean to it." I looked at them, amused.
Rufus frowned at the wolf and blocked my view of it with his hand. "Don't even look at it."
