The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Sylvia's POV:
As I lay there with my back to Rufus, I overheard him talking on the phone at the door. It sounded like he had something urgent to deal with. That explained why he came back into the room, grabbed his coat, and left in a hurry. Soa*h the lindNovel.let website on Gøøgll to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
When he closed the door from the outside, I slowly opened my eyes. I waited for a few seconds before I lay on my back and breathed a deep sigh of relief.
I stared at the ceiling blankly for a while and then sat up. When I saw the ring box on the bedside table, I picked it up and opened it.
Sitting quietly inside the box was a large diamond ring, dazzling like a star.
I couldn't help but chuckle. Rufus was always buying me the most expensive gifts, but he never stopped to think how impractical it would be to wear such a big diamond ring on my finger.
Therefore, I would hardly ever wear any jewelry from Rufus because they were too extravagant for most occasions apart from lavish banquets. If I walked around the streets wearing those, I'd be targeted by pickpockets.
However, I was then overwhelmed with feelings of sadness and helplessness.
After all, he had planned such a marvelous event just so he could propose to me, but I failed him.
In truth, the whole thing was an act. I didn't know what else to do apart from pretending to faint at that moment.
I shouldn't have given Rufus more hope. It would be harder for me to leave him if we ever got married.
The restlessness in my heart was intolerable because we still hadn't lifted the curse on Rufus yet.
When I was in the emergency room, I vaguely overheard Rufus saying that he would rather abort the child than let me be in danger. I felt both moved and guilty at the same time. Deep down inside my heart, I knew that he had no less expectations for this child than Ethan and Laura.
The thought made me feel happy and sad at the same time. I gently caressed my belly and whispered, "Baby, your father loves you a lot, but he just loves your mother a little more. But it doesn't matter. I will love you more."
A lot of people were looking forward to the birth of this child. If somehow the curse on Rufus could be lifted and my existence no longer remained a risk to Rufus' life, I believed that everyone would come to love my child.
"Sylvia, you'd better pay attention to the prenatal education, or else the baby will bear grudges against its father," Yana complained.
I pouted my lips at her and said, "But the baby's still too small. I doubt it could even hear us, let alone understand what we're talking about."
Just as I was saying that, I felt a surge of sharp pain from my belly. My voice trembled as I kept calling Yana in fear.
Yana seemed nervous and she insisted that I call the doctor, but the pain had subsided by then.
"Did the baby really understand what we were saying?" Yana asked suspiciously.
I lowered my head and kept silent. My heart was filled with warmth and joy. After all, my belly was still flat and I hadn't had the feeling of being a mother until now. I had finally felt the existence of my baby in my belly.
"What about this ring?" Yana asked.

I was startled. I quickly hid the box under the pillow and pretended to be asleep.
Silence befell the ward again after two knocks on the door. I opened my eyes again, assuming the person outside had left.
However, the sound of someone pushing the door open from the outside entered
my ears.
I shut my eyes, clasped the corner of the quilt and tried to relax my facial
expression, pretending to be asleep.
