The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 741

Rufus' POV:

I held Sylvia in my arms and whispered to her, "I'm sorry, babe. I didn't tell them about your pregnancy. The doctor who examined you back in Leonard's pack told them about it. He seemed to have treated Leonard before. You know many questions regarding Leonard's untimely death still remain unanswered. My father wanted to know more about it, so he called the doctor and found out you're expecting a child."

Sylvia lowered her head uneasily. She fiddled with the buttons on my sleeve in silence. Seeing her like this was enough to make me worried.

I knew that she was at a loss on what to do. It was my fault. I should have informed the doctor beforehand since Sylvia hadn't been fully mentally prepared for it.

While I did what I could to soothe her, my dad insisted Sylvia have another bowl of tonic soup.

I sighed heavily while I cradled Sylvia in my arms. Now I'd had to chug the soup for her again. After dealing with my overly excited parents, I immediately fled with Sylvia. We must stay away from them for a while. Even I couldn't manage my overenthusiastic parents, let alone Sylvia.

After walking out of the palace, Sylvia suddenly burst into laughter.

I turned my head in confusion and was greeted by her radiant smile and sparkling eyes. She didn't look depressed at all.

Seeing her like this immediately lightened my mood. I gently pinched her cheek and asked, "Why are you laughing so happily?"

"Nothing. I just think that your parents are so adorable." The smile on her face widened, and her entire face lit up.

"Don't you feel uneasy anymore?" I rubbed her nose gently and couldn't help but lower my head to kiss her lips.

Sylvia shook her head. "No, I'm fine because you're here with me."

My heart throbbed, and the warmth spread throughout my body. This was a comforting feeling that couldn't be put into words. I took her hand, and we slowly made our way back to my palace, enjoying this little moment alone.

"Don't worry. I will protect you no matter what happens."
