Laura's POV:

I froze, stunned by my son's words. Only then did I realize that Arron's face was no longer bandaged up. What was more, Rufus had carried the boy all the way here.

My son was no fool. He must have already had his suspicions the moment he saw Arron's face.

This was all my fault. I had been too caught up with my worries that I forgot about the bandage on Arron's face.

I had no way of knowing when Rufus had first seen Arron's face, or if Crystal was aware of it. If she had given him some sort of explanation, then I must tell the same story, or we would be exposed.

As I mused over this, I also realized that I had been too intimate with Arron just now. Anyone with eyes would have recognized that we had a special connection, let alone my cunning son.

"Is something the matter, Mom? You don't look well." Rufus fixed me with a worried look, as if he didn't care about the answer to his question at all. He painted the picture of a good and dutiful son. My mind was in a mess. I didn't want to lie to Rufus now that things had come to this, but at the same time, I refused to let him suffer the curse again.
