The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Laura's POV:
After finishing the glass of milk, Beryl lay down and closed her eyes obediently. I leaned forward to kiss her forehead and then tucked her in. She drifted off after a few minutes. I stroked Beryl's head sorrowfully since I didn't know when we would meet again.
Crystal had informed me that Rufus was already suspicious of her, so he would certainly monitor her for some time. He might even put all her communications under surveillance. For this reason, I couldn't contact her anymore. I could only wait till Rufus' doubts died down and he gave up his investigation of her.
I didn't know how long that would take. Once Rufus became suspicious, it would be difficult for him to let the matter go unless Crystal performed another meritorious deed.
I believed that I wouldn't be able to see my grandchildren for a long time now. After some consideration, I took out my phone and clicked a few photos of Beryl. I chose one of them and set it as my phone's wallpaper. Beryl was quiet and docile while sleeping. Her long eyelashes were gorgeous. Although the cut of her face was similar to Crystal's, the shape of her eyebrows and mouth was exactly like Rufus'. Rufus hadn't noticed this and the thought hadn't crossed his mind yet, perhaps because she was still a kid.
At this moment, a gentle knock sounded at the door.
I guessed it was Crystal.
I got to my feet and opened the door. Sure enough, Crystal stood at the threshold. She was still wearing a mask and her hair was neatly tucked under a baseball cap. Her gaze darted around furtively, as if she was afraid someone would follow her.
Feeling amused, I pulled her in. "Don't worry. This is the safest place in the imperial palace. Rufus is respectful and won't spy on his own mother."
Crystal took off her cap and mask and smiled sheepishly. "Just in case." Shaking my head, I led her into the room and said, "Beryl is asleep."
"Really? Didn't she cry for Rufus?" Crystal's eyes flew to me in surprise.
"No. I led her to believe that she will see her daddy tomorrow, so she didn't create much of a fuss." I sighed.
"I see." Crystal's face fell.
No mother wanted to see their child be disappointed or unhappy.
I couldn't stand the sad expression on her face and comforted her, "Don't overthink it. The children will see their father again in the future. For now, you need to only focus on avoiding unnecessary trouble." Crystal nodded and pasted a smile on her face as she prepared to see Beryl.
I led her to the bedroom and said, "I've given Beryl some sleeping powder. Don't worry. It's not harmful to her. It will only knock her out for a while." When Crystal heard this, she sighed heavily. "I'm afraid that won't work on Beryl."
"Why?" I asked curiously.
The powder I gave her had been specially developed and then tested on adults several times. All the experiments were successful, so it would definitely work on kids.
"Because of Beryl's special constitution, most medicines don't work on her," Crystal replied. Slal*th the Find_Nøvel.let website on Gøøgll to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
