The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 555

Sylvia's POV:

I walked over and tapped Flora's shoulder from behind.

Flora was so startled that she nearly jumped. Patting her chest to calm herself down, she asked, "Sylvia, what're you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same thing," I put my arm around her shoulder and said with a smile.

Flora snorted and relayed everything to me.

It turned out that Ashley was temporarily sent here with the other vampires after she was rescued from Geoffrey's clutches.

But none of these vampires seemed to like Ashley so they bullied her a lot.

Flora was in the middle of a mission and happened to pass by. Seeing that Ashley was in trouble, she rescued her.

"Now, she has retreated to the corner and hasn't moved a muscle. She has been in a daze this whole time." Flora pouted and threw her hands up helplessly. "I just told her a joke, but she didn't laugh. It's like she can't hear me!"

"I see."

I sighed and slowly approached Ashley. Squatting down next to her, I gently called her name.

But she didn't respond. She seemed to be completely immersed in her own world.

Rufus had once told me that Geoffrey had forced Ashley to drink poison so she couldn't speak.

I took out the antidote I found in Geoffrey's secret room yesterday and handed it to her. "Take it. This is the cure for your throat."

Even then, Ashley remained indifferent. It was as though she was a lifeless hull.

I had no choice but to put the antidote into her mouth myself. Then, I raised her chin to help her swallow it.

This whole time, Ashley didn't bat an eyelash. She behaved obediently and didn't resist at all.

"How are you feeling? Can you speak now?" I asked softly.

She stayed silent. I couldn't tell whether the antidote had worked or not.

"Your mother's name is Joi, right?" I had no choice but to bring up the topic of her family.

As expected, Ashley finally came to life at the mention of her mother. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her eyes regained clarity. She looked at me and asked, "You know my mother?"
