Crystal's POV:
Laura and I were both flustered by Rufus ' unexpected visit. Laura quickly stood up from her seat and walked over to him. "Why'd you come here unannounced? Where's Beryl?"
"She's asleep," Rufus answered briefly as he walked to the table.
I quickly turned my back to keep Rufus from seeing my son and continued to wrap the bandages around the boy's face with trembling fingers. At the same time, I grasped the mask hung around my neck and hurriedly put it on my face.
"So what're you doing here?" Laura asked, blatantly blocking us from Rufus' sight and preventing him from walking to me.
"I was about to leave when I saw your doctor rushing here. I thought something bad happened to you, so I came here to check," Rufus answered in a concerned tone.
"I'm fine, Rufus," Laura said curtly. It sounded as though she was one step away from dragging Rufus out of the room herself.
"But what happened? Why'd you send for the doctor all of a sudden?" Rufus asked in confusion.
"Come. Let's talk outside."
After Laura pulled Rufus out of the room, I heaved a sigh of relief and finished up bandaging Arron's face.
Arron squinted his doe-like eyes at me and asked in a childish voice, "Who was that?"
I choked, not knowing what to say.
"The lycan king?" Arron then answered his own question.
I was shocked. "How'd you know that?"
Arron smiled, revealing his adorable dimples. He said in a calm voice, "I guessed it."
Amused, I rubbed the tip of his nose and said in a soft voice, "You're so smart, honey. You're right. He's the lycan king and he saved your sister."
Arron's eyes lit up. "Then where's Beryl?"
