The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 569

Sylvia's POV:

When I heard what Layla said, I was shocked. I didn't expect Ashley would betray me. After all, it was Hobson and his children who had caused her so much suffering.

Why would Ashley still want to please that bastard?

It seemed that she still wanted to go back to that mysterious castle despite all the trouble it had brought her.

"Don't be sad, Sylvia. Ashley's just a vampire, and she was tortured by werewolves. I doubted she'd have ever become our true friend." Noticing my change in mood, Flora put her arm around my shoulder and comforted me.

"I'm not sad. I just can't figure it out. Other than Ashley's mother, every single person in that castle wants her dead. Why is she still trying to go back and even please Hobson?" I sighed and felt that people's hearts were a fickle thing, difficult to understand.

"To each their own. If that's the path she wants to take, then who are we to stop her?" Flora smiled, as if she didn't care about the matter so much anymore.

Although Flora was usually impulsive, she had always been good at emotional management.

I nodded and decided to let it go, too. "You're right. Since Ashley has chosen to run, she'll probably go back to the castle. That means I've fulfilled my end of the bargain with her mother. I doubt we'll cross paths again. Let's think about how to get out of here now."

Flora looked around and muttered, "This isn't the same room we were in earlier."

"Go there. Ashley escaped in that direction." Layla pointed at one of the paths.

I glanced at her wound and said worriedly, "Don't you need to bandage your wound? It's still bleeding."

"No need. Let's get out of here first. This stone chamber is probably filled with traps. The longer we stay here, the more danger we'll be in," Layla said firmly.

I had no choice but to agree. So we walked in the direction she had pointed out and eventually came to the place where we first came in.

I figured we should thank Layla. We wouldn't have been able to get out of here without her.

Now that Flora had accepted Layla, she was very enthusiastic about her. This time, having witnessed Layla's strong sense of direction in action, Flora admired Layla even more. She became an avid fan in the blink of an eye.
