Rufus' POV:
I was on my way to city hall when I realized that I left in a hurry and forgot to tell the nurse that the needle in Sylvia's hand had come off, prompting me to have the driver turn around and return to the hospital.
I felt really guilty as I glanced at my watch. Sylvia slept soundly when I left. What if she moved while she slept and hurt herself by accident?
Soon I arrived at the hospital and went straight to the VIP ward on the top floor. I had just stepped out of the elevator when I saw Blair coming out of Sylvia's ward.
Blair didn't seem to notice me and left through another exit.
I was a little surprised. Was Sylvia awake?
I walked towards the ward and was about to push the door open. But when I heard some noise in the room, I hesitated.
"Why don't you go in? Sylvia is awake," Omar asked curiously.
I loosened my grip on the doorknob, feeling a twinge of bitterness in my heart. "I don't know what's wrong with me. My mind is a mess. I don't know how to face Sylvia right now."
After returning from Leonard's pack, Sylvia had always wanted to be alone, as if she was hiding something from me. She occasionally did things without telling me, which added to the mystery. Although she acted as if nothing had happened, she was too naive and innocent. The expressions on her face always revealed her true emotions. I could just read her like an open book.
In addition, she recently insisted on going back to the dorm. The reason she persisted in leaving the palace was also a mystery to me.
She used to want to be with me all the time. Wherever I went, she would stick to me like glue. But now, she suddenly wanted to avoid me in many occasions. As her mate, it was hard for me not to overthink it.
I knew I shouldn't doubt her, but I still felt strange. Sylvia came back to the palace with Blair after she disappeared today. The doctor said she was in good health, but she fainted when I proposed. More strangely, Blair just emerged from Sylvia's ward right now.
Thinking of all these things, I couldn't help feeling uneasy.
With a sigh, I told Omar, "Let Sylvia have more rest."
"But it doesn't seem like she is resting because I can feel that Yana is very emotional." Omar clearly wanted to go in.
But since my head was in a mess right now, I decided to see Sylvia once I had calmed down a little.
I left the top floor and sat in the garden outside the hospital for a smoke. My current attempts to quit smoking were in vain.
This was the first time I smoked again after quitting and I took to it with renewed vigor. I smoked a lot today, much worse than how I used to before.
Omar kept nagging in my mind, "Aren't you busy? Why are you sitting here? Why don't you go upstairs to see Sylvia?"
I put out the cigarette, which was about to burn to my finger, and lit another one.
Omar sighed and uttered, "Stop smoking, Rufus. I'm almost suffocated by the stinky smell. If you smoke again, I won't talk to you anymore."
