The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 998

Crystal's POV:

After leaving the lounge, I didn't return to the ball. Instead, I went back to my current accommodations cradling Arron in my arms.

I tried my best to avoid the crowd. Rufus had broken my mask, so I couldn't take a more conspicuous route. It would be disastrous to bump into an acquaintance.

The whole palace was quieter than usual. Almost everyone was at the ball.

I shut the door and walked into the kitchen to cook some soup for my little guy.

Arron felt much better after having the warm soup. He was not as weak as before.

I wiped his face with a towel and said in a comforting voice, "I'm sorry that you had to bandage yourself these past few days. I'm so sorry you had to go through this and were the target of other people's gossip."

"It doesn't matter, Mommy. I don't know why you asked me to do it, but I will listen to you," Arron replied obediently.

My heart softened and my guilt increased. "If you want to go out to play, you can tell me. I will take you for a fun outing. Just a few more days, and we can go home!"

Arron nodded. "Okay. It's my fault that I sneaked out today. I won't worry you in the future."

I was so happy that I gathered him in my arms and hugged him tightly.

"But Beryl hasn't recovered her memory yet. Will she agree to go with us?" Arron's little face was scrunched up in worry.

I considered it for a while and hesitatingly said, "We have to take her with us, whether she likes it or not. I can't let her stay here. I believe that once we're home, Beryl will recover her memory sooner or later."

Arron frowned. "Don't knock my sister out. It will hurt."

My lips quirked up in amusement. "Of course I won't. I'll come up with an excuse to trick her into coming home with us."
