The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 793

Sylvia's POV:

What I said seemed to only make the atmosphere even more awkward. I just wanted to hide somewhere at that point so I didn't have to face him.

Rufus, on the other hand, didn't react much. He just opened the first aid kit in the car, pulled off the suit jacket that was covering me, and applied some ointment to my wound. He didn't say a single word the entire time.

I sat up and let him wrap the gauze around my chest. When I felt like he was almost done, I extended my arms and showed him my tied hands. "Rufus, can you untie this for me? I'm so thirsty and I want to drink some water."

Rufus looked down at my hands, but he didn't make a sound. He continued wrapping the gauze around my wound and finished it with a cute bow knot on my chest.

When he was done, I quickly grabbed his hand. "Rufus!"

Rufus looked at me expressionlessly. He didn't withdraw his hand from mine nor did he give me any respond. He just let me hold him.

"I know it's my fault that I escaped from the imperial palace and—"

Just then, he interrupted me by throwing his jacket over. "Put it on. I'll call the driver."

I pouted and slowly let go of his hand. Then, I put on his suit jacket and buttoned it up. After making sure I was decent, he knocked on the window and signaled the driver to drive up here.

"Go back to the imperial palace," he ordered.

After that, he leaned against the seat and closed his eyes. He didn't talk to me at all on the way back.

As I sat beside him, I felt so nervous. I didn't know how to coax him.

The silence on our way back was deafening. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of the rumbling engine.

Still, I took the initiative to admit my mistake by clearing my throat and saying, "Rufus, I'm sorry.

I was wrong."

Rufus didn't open his eyes. He looked as if he had fallen asleep.

I bit my lip and looked at his handsome side profile. I couldn't do anything to soothe him, and I felt utterly helpless.
