Rufus' POV:

My mother scrutinized the report and remained completely silent. After a while, she softly said, "Since you have already performed the test privately, why are you asking me?"

I could see that my mother didn't want to reveal the truth. I could feel a headache coming on. Crystal had lost her memory now and my mother didn't want to admit the truth. We were at an impasse. What was more, my mother was furious. She tossed my phone back to me and crossly said, "You're skilled at digging everything up. You've discovered everything, haven't you? If I tell you it's not true, will you even believe me?"

"Mom, I just want the truth." I rubbed my nose, feeling weary. "What are you hiding from me? Why didn't I know that I'm a father and why did I have absolutely no recollection of Crystal when I first met her? Although I don't think that I've lost my memory, I have always sensed that I had lost something. Just thinking about it hurts, and I don't believe it's the after-effect of the curse. If no secrets exist, why did you keep Arron from me and prevent me from seeing his face? You were afraid that I would become suspicious when I laid my eyes on him."

I could see the war between guilt and struggle on my mother's face. Finally, she sighed and said, "These matters are between Crystal and you. Let her explain it to you when she regains her memory." Then she left me standing alone in the corridor and went back to see Arron.
