Rufus' POV:
I was on my way to city hall when I realized that I left in a hurry and forgot to tell the nurse that the needle in Sylvia's hand had come off, prompting me to have the driver turn around and return to the hospital.
I felt really guilty as I glanced at my watch. Sylvia slept soundly when I left. What if she moved while she slept and hurt herself by accident?
Soon I arrived at the hospital and went straight to the VIP ward on the top floor. I had just stepped out of the elevator when I saw Blair coming out of Sylvia's ward.
Blair didn't seem to notice me and left through another exit.
I was a little surprised. Was Sylvia awake?
I walked towards the ward and was about to push the door open. But when I heard some noise in the room, I hesitated.
"Why don't you go in? Sylvia is awake," Omar asked curiously.
I loosened my grip on the doorknob, feeling a twinge of bitterness in my heart. "I don't know what's wrong with me. My mind is a mess. I don't know how to face Sylvia right now."
After returning from Leonard's pack, Sylvia had always wanted to be alone, as if she was hiding something from me. She occasionally did things without telling me, which added to the mystery.
Although she acted as if nothing had happened, she was too naive and innocent. The expressions on her face always revealed her true emotions. I could just read her like an open book.
In addition, she recently insisted on going back to the dorm. The reason she persisted in leaving the palace was also a mystery to me.
She used to want to be with me all the time. Wherever I went, she would stick to me like glue. But now, she suddenly wanted to avoid me in many occasions. As her mate, it was hard for me not to overthink it.
I knew I shouldn't doubt her, but I still felt strange. Sylvia came back to the palace with Blair after she disappeared today. The doctor said she was in good health, but she fainted when I proposed. More strangely, Blair just emerged from Sylvia's ward right now.
Omar sighed and uttered, "Stop smoking, Rufus. I'm almost suffocated by the stinky smell. If you smoke again, I won't talk to you anymore."
At this time, the phone rang again. I glanced at it and hung up directly.
"Answer it, Rufus. This is the tenth call." Omar felt some worry creeping in. In a loud voice, he demanded, "What the hell is wrong with you?"
I was utterly silent. I stood up and stubbed out the cigarette. Then I reached for my phone to deal with a few pressing matters. After that, I asked a trusted subordinate to go to the city hall to deal with the problem on my behalf.
Then I made my way toward the hospital's administrative building.
The staff on duty received me in a fit of panic. "What can I do for you, Prince Rufus?"
"There are intruders in the palace. We need to check the in-patient building. Get me all the surveillance footage today," I ordered coldly with a sharp gaze.
