The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Crystal's POV:

Laura was confused. She glanced at the children to make sure they couldn't hear us. Then she turned to face me and said in a low voice, "Crystal, is it because Beryl had forgot about you once that you've been treating her strangely? If you've got something against her, let her stay with me. I don't want Beryl to get hurt."

I felt terrible and tried to explain helplessly, "How could I have anything against my own daughter? Beryl's my baby, my dearest sweetheart. I love her so much—"

"Then why are you so mean to her?" Laura looked even more confused. She pulled me into the other room to make sure the little ones couldn't eavesdrop. "I know you're a reasonable person, Crystal. You must have your own reasons for treating Beryl like that. By the way, I wanted to ask why you and Rufus came so late last night. I wanted to ask you about it last night, but I didn't because the children were also there."

I was choked with sobs and couldn't say anything. I was afraid that Laura wouldn't be able to accept the possibility that Noreen was in Beryl's body, and that she'd end up treating Beryl like a monster. After all, she hated Noreen so much.

Just then, a light cough interrupted our conversation.
