The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 267

Richard's POV:

Lucy looked terrible. Her hair was disheveled, caked blood clinging to it in clumps. Half of her face looked as though it was mauled by a wild beast. She was badly mutilated and bleeding.

Such a sorry sight walked towards us barefoot. Despite her mutilated face, her eyes flashed fiercely and were fixed on me the whole time, and there was a crazy smile at the corners of her mouth. She looked like a ferocious ghost who was determined to kill me.

I was so scared that I took a step backward subconsciously.

When she was but a few meters away from my father, Lucy suddenly stopped and saluted, despite her body trembling from exhaustion and her injuries.

Shell-shocked, my father finally snapped out of his trance and ran to help her. "Lucy, what happened?"

Even though werewolves had a strong self-healing ability, Lucy's face was too badly mauled. Even if it did heal, it would never be the same. She would live the rest of her days completely disfigured.

Lucy shook her head slightly without saying anything.

"Have the baby checked first!" My father whirled around and barked an order. It was obvious that he was very concerned about his grandchild.

Doctors immediately surrounded Lucy.

Lucy looked surprised, but I quickly spoke up before she could. "Father knows you're pregnant. I told him that you were resting in the manor, so he came to visit you."

Lucy quickly realized what was going on. She gently touched her belly and looked at me with a gloomy smile. "Of course the baby's safe. Why do you care?"

I immediately stiffened. Her pointed words made me sweat all over my back. Her eyes were fixed on me, burning with hatred. It was as though she wanted to devour me alive. Somehow, I managed to suppress my panic and forced a concerned smile. "Of course I care! I'm the father, aren't I?"

I specially stressed the word "father", hoping that Lucy would catch on and cooperate. After all, if it was revealed that the child was a bastard, she would be doomed as well.

When the doctors were done checking on Lucy, they nodded at my father, indicating that she was fine for the time being.
