Chapter 1215 He Figured It Out (Laura’s POV)
I froze, stunned by my son’s words. Only then did I realize that Arron’s face was no longer bandaged
up. What was more, Rufus had carried the boy all the way here.
My son was no fool. He must have already had his suspicions the moment he saw Arron’s face.
This was all my fault. I had been too caught up with my worries that I forgot about the bandage on
Arron’s face.
I had no way of knowing when Rufus had first seen Arron’s face, or if Crystal was aware of it. If she had
given him some sort of exnation, then I must tell the same story, or we would be exposed. As I
mused over this, I also realized that I had been too intimate with Arron just now. Anyone with eyes
would have recognized that we had a special connection, let alone my cunning son.
“Is something the matter, Mom? You don’t look well.” Rufus fixed me with a worried look, as if he didn’t
care about the answer to his question at all. He painted the picture of a good and dutiful son.
My mind was in a mess. I didn’t want to lie to Rufus now that things hade to this, but at the same
time, I refused to let him suffer the curse again.
“I’m fine. I’m just having a headache. Remember the ointment you gave mest time? It worked
wonders. Do you have any more of it?”
I made a show of rubbing my temples and tried to change the topic again, but Rufus was not easy to
fool.
“Yes, I’ll have one of the servants to take some to your roomter. Let’s go back to the question at
hand. Arron looks so much like me. Is he my half-brother or what?” Rufus said thisst part in a joking
tone.
I was so offended that I almost lunged at him to smack him in his head. How could he say such a
thing? “What nonsense are you spouting? Aren’t you scared that your father would roll in his grave and
come out to haunt you tonight?”
“Don’t be mad, Mom. I was just kidding. It’s because Arron looks a lot like me. He can’t possibly be
mine, right? I don’t remember having any rtions with a she-wolf. Besides, Crystal…”
Rufus paused then, and gave me a sharp, meaningful look. “Unless, of course, there is something
you’re not telling me.”
I averted my eyes in a panic. “Are you saying that I’m keeping something from you? Preposterous! You
are the king. You can easily find out whatever it is you want to know. Why would I bother hiding
anything from you? I would only be wasting my time, don’t you agree?”
“That’s right,” Rufus said with a small smile. “I am the king. I just need to dispatch my men to look into
the matter, and I’ll know everything I need to know.”
I swallowed a lump in my throat as a keen sense of foreboding washed over me. After racking my
brains for a while, I ventured, “You know, there are a lot of random people who look alike. Some are
even on opposite sides of the world. Arron is just a kid. His looks will change over time. He might look
like you now, but I’m sure it would change once he grows up. This is just a funny coincidence, nothing
more.”
“His eyes, his mouth, his hair… Even his dimples are an exact mirror of mine. Are you sure it’s just a
coincidence, Mom? Contrary to what you think, I believe he will only look more and more like me as he
grows older.” My son raised an eyebrow at me, obviously not believing the paltry exnation I had
offered.
I stared at him, much like a deer caught in headlights, I presumed. I didn’t know what else to say at this
point.
“If I’m not mistaken,” Rufus continued with a pointed glint in his eye, “you’ve known Crystal for a long
time now. Of course, that applies to Arron and Beryl, too.”
He paused before adding, “Moreover, your longstanding wish to have grandchildren has alreadye
true.”
My breath grew shallow. I didn’t have a way out of this. Rufus had practically figured everything out. If I
tried to deflect again, it might only make matters worse.

I had no other recourse. I groaned and dropped to the floor, pretending to faint.
