The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Laura's POV:

After finishing the glass of milk, Beryl lay down and closed her eyes obediently. I leaned forward to kiss her forehead and then tucked her in. She drifted off after a few minutes. I stroked Beryl's head sorrowfully since I didn't know when we would meet again.

Crystal had informed me that Rufus was already suspicious of her, so he would certainly monitor her for some time. He might even put all her communications under surveillance. For this reason, I couldn't contact her anymore. I could only wait till Rufus' doubts died down and he gave up his investigation of her.

I didn't know how long that would take. Once Rufus became suspicious, it would be difficult for him to let the matter go unless Crystal performed another meritorious deed.

I believed that I wouldn't be able to see my grandchildren for a long time now. After some consideration, I took out my phone and clicked a few photos of Beryl. I chose one of them and set it as my phone's wallpaper. Beryl was quiet and docile while sleeping. Her long eyelashes were gorgeous. Although the cut of her face was similar to Crystal's, the shape of her eyebrows and mouth was exactly like Rufus'. Rufus hadn't noticed this and the thought hadn't crossed his mind yet, perhaps because she was still a kid.

At this moment, a gentle knock sounded at the door.
