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."
