    Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight


    Chapter 720 Death and New Life


    Sylvia’s POV:


    My heart was heavy when my eyes opened. A handsome face came into view. It was Rufus. I blinked


    my eyes groggily, nearly forgetting who and where I was.


    At this moment, an excited voice came from beside me. “Sylvia is awake!”


    My eyes instinctively flew in the direction the sound came from and I realized that Flora and Warren


    were also there.


    It was only then that I realized I was lying on a bed. The memory of Leonard’s death came rushing


    back to me. I gave a feeble smile, wanting to tell them that I was fine, but I really wasn’t. There was a


    big hole in my life now. The loneliness I felt could not be put into words.


    Flora held my hand, her eyes shining with concern. “I know what you want to say. But you don’t need to


    say anything right now. We all understand. You must be starving. Do you want some soup?”


    I shook my head gently. “I’m not hungry.”


    Rufus sat on the edge of the bed and stroked my forehead worriedly. “You haven’t eaten anything for


    almost twenty-four hours. You should try to have something. You are so weak right now.”


    I shook my head again. “I’m sorry, Rufus. I really have no appetite.”


    Flora looked agitated. She went straight to the table bring me the bowl of soup and shouted, “I know


    Leonard’s death is a huge blow to you. You have always respected him and thought of him as your


    mentor. But you also need to take care of your own health. After all, it’s not just about yourself now.”


    I raised my head dazedly and asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”


    Flora was about to say something, but she swallowed the words back. “Ask Rufus to tell you about it.”


    I turned to look at Rufus, still puzzled. “What is she talking about?”


    He gently touched my belly and lovingly said, “You’re carrying our baby.”


    I stared at my belly in disbelief. “You mean to say that I’m pregnant?”


    “Yes, you’re about one month along. The baby was probably conceived right before we came back


    from the border. My curse had been removed by then.” Rufus’ face split into a smile, dissipating the


    bitterness in his eyes.


    We had been wanting a child for a long time. It had finally happened now.


    I touched my belly in wonder. Complex emotions swirled within me, making tears stream down my face.


    Rufus hurriedly reached out to wipe them and nervously asked, “What’s wrong, Sylvia? Do you feel


    some difort?”


    I shook my head, the tears still flowing, and sobbed, “No, I just can’t get a handle on my emotions.”

    Something seemed to dawn on him. He sighed, got to his feet, and went to Flora and Warren. “I’m


    sorry. Can you guys give us a moment? I need some time alone with Sylvia.”


    Flora stud*ied me worriedly for a moment. Then she nodded and left with Warren.


    Rufus came back to me and wrapped his arms around me. He kissed me on the forehead and said in a


    gentle voice, “Baby, I know what you’re going through. Just cry if you want to.”


    His tenderness made me even more despondent. Theplex emotions in me became increasingly


    intense, until they finally exploded. I sobbed loudly and roared to vent my sorrow.


    “I… I know crying like this is bad for the baby. But, I can’t control myself. Every time I think of Leonard’s


    death, I feel so sad…” I grabbed Rufus’ shirt and buried my face in his chest as I sobbed, “Rufus, I


    thought I had finally found my father. But now, he’s gone. He’s gone forever…”
