Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince By Dark Knight
Chapter 155 The Whole Story
Rufus‘ POV:
Sylvia‘s face was pale, and her eyes were filled with tears. She was like a broken glassdoll. I stepped forward and wrapped her hand with my big palm. Her hand was cold. It was as if it had just been taken out of a cold cellar. I tightened my grip on her and rubbed her slender fingers. She lowered her head and held my hand back It was her response to my comfort. Lena had already stopped crying. Her w*et hair stuck to her ravaged face. Her eyes were out of focus, and her whole body was like a broken bag.
“Lena, I want to know everything that happened back then,” Sylvia asked in a soft voice. Her lifeless appearance made my heart sink. I couldn‘t help holding her in my arms Lena didn‘t answer immediately. She slowly stood up from the floor and limped towards Sylvia.
“Alpha and Luna were framed by Gamma Mateo.”
“Then how did you frame my mother?” Sylvia asked, looking confused. I looked at Sylvia, feeling sorry for her. The calmer she was, the more I felt her violent emotional turmoil. I could sense that she was just restraining herself. Lena‘s dark purple chapped lips trembled. She couldn‘t even say a complete sentence. It seemed that she was suffering from great pain.
“We…”
“My mother has been dead for so many years. Don‘t you think it‘s too late for you to feel guilty now? If you remembered how good she was to you, you wouldn‘t hide for so many years. I‘m not interested to know about the difficulties you have gone through. I just want the truth.” Sylvia looked down at Lena. She seemed a little tired because she leaned her body slightly and rested her forehead on my shoulder.
“1…” Lena was so agitated that she suddenly coughed violently. Her gruff wheezing sounded like a dying animal. Sylvia pursed her lips tightly and glanced at her. After coughing for a while, Lena finally stopped. She took a deep breath and said, “That day, the pack was celebrating a festival. Gamma Mateo first K*lled Alpha and Luna when their guard was down. Then to frame your mother, he asked me to let her drink a drug that could make wolves go berserk. After that, he locked her up with the corpses of Alpha and Luna. Later, he pretended to come to their rescue and caught your mother in the act.”
“My mother was such a cautious person. How did you manage to deceive her?” Sylvia asked through clenched teeth. Her hands were trembling slightly.
“… I lied to her. I told her that it was you who pour the juice for her.” Lena‘s body bent lower, showing the roots of grey hair hidden in her scalp that was in stark contrast to her brown hair tail. She seemed to have aged several years in the blink of an eye.
“What? Lena, how could you do that?” Sylvia couldn‘t hold back her anger anymore. Her trembling voice was filled with anger as she added, “My mother treated you well. How could you betray her? You were the one she trusted the most. And Mateo… I will definitely K*ll him.”
Sylvia‘s full red lips had turned bloodless at once. She bit her lower lip hard as if she didn‘t feel any pain, even if there was already a faint streak of blood on it. I felt so sorry for her that I held her in my arms and touched her lips. “Don‘t bite yourself. If you feel bad, bite me.”
She didn’t say a word. She just threw herself into my arms and whimpered like a wounded cub. Her tears seemed to fall on my heart, making it sour and swollen. I lowered my head and kissed her tears away and her thin eyelids. “Sylvia, I‘ll help you with this. Let me take care of everything. K*lling Mateo is not enough. You have to expose him in front of everyone to prove your mother‘s innocence and clear her name.”
“Sylvia…” Lena timidly called Sylvia‘s name. When she saw that Sylvia didn‘t show any antipathy, she continued, “I‘m sorry for you and your mother. Now that my poor son is dead, there is nothing in the world that I care about anymore. Since Mateo has harmed us to this extent, we can‘t let him continue to get away with it. Please let me use my remaining life to make up for my mistakes. I will cooperate with you to expose his crimes.”
Although I clearly heard her words, I didn‘t look at her. I just kissed Sylvia on the forehead and said, “I‘m afraid it‘s not enough to just have a witness. We also need some critical physical evidence.”
“I have all the evidence hidden,” Lena said.
