The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 740

Sylvia's POV:

I stayed in the forbidden forest until the red marks on my hand almost healed.

When I returned to the imperial palace, I was summoned to meet Ethan by his subordinates.

I was confused and had no idea why the king suddenly wanted to see me.

Rufus was already at Ethan's palace when I got there. Both Laura and a team of doctors were present too.

I stopped in my tracks and had a theory why they were gathered here.

Sure enough, Laura came up to me in excitement when I walked through the door. "Sylvia, you're finally back! How have you been? Are you alright? Why didn't you tell me that you are pregnant? That's exciting news!"

I didn't know how to respond to her. Laura had indeed been trying to build a cordial relationship with me, but today was the first time she was this enthusiastic.

Her eyes squinted in excitement. It was clear from her expression that she was overjoyed. She was a queen who ruled with grace and beauty. Whenever she smiled, the very corners of her mouth would only slightly tilt upward. But right now, her pearly whites were on display. It was very much apparent that she was in a great mood.

I secretly winked at Rufus, wanting him to help me through this awkward situation.

Grinning, Rufus gently pulled his mother aside. "Please take it easy, mom. You might frighten the baby with your enthusiasm."

Laura grumbled, "Nonsense! When I was pregnant with you, your father was so over the moon that he laughed heartily every day and everyone in the imperial palace could hear him. But you were still healthy and safe in my belly." Embarrassed about being exposed, Ethan quickly grabbed Laura's hand and whispered, "Honey, don't embarrass me in front of the kids."
