The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 716

Sylvia's POV:

I peered on Alina's shoulder and looked at the open door behind her.

From a distance, Leonard's body lay visible at the center of the hall.

At the sight of this, I couldn't help trembling.

Alina continued to yell something, but I couldn't make out what it was.

"Go and have a look." Rufus nudged me with a sigh.

With a dreary nod, I walked forward.

Leonard's body was surrounded by flowers and lit white candles. If I didn't look carefully, I would think that he was just asleep peacefully.

Extreme despair engulfed me suddenly. But not a single tear formed in my dry eyes.

Out of nowhere, a gentle breeze brushed my face, bringing with it the enticing aroma of gardenia, Leonard's all-time favorite flower.

Due to the familiar aroma, I imagined Leonard was still there, standing behind me and waiting for me to turn around.

My lips couldn't help trembling as I tried my best to suppress the sob trying to escape my throat.

It hurt. It felt as if something was literally piercing through my heart.

I was getting closer and closer to him. But as I ascended the stairs, something pushed me away.

It was Alina.

She glared at me with red eyes and shouted in a sharp voice, "Stay away from my father!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and tried to grab me as if she was going to rip me apart right then and there.
