Chapter 55 Nosebleed


    Sylvia''s POV:


    I woke up with a splitting headache and found myself lying on a bed. My body seemed to have been


    drained of strength, and my limbs were too heavy to lift.


    "What''s wrong with me?" I muttered to myself. My memory seemed to have been cut off for a


    moment. I was dazed and confused, and I couldn''t remember what had happened.


    "Miss Todd, you''re finally awake!"


    A she-wolf''s excited voice rang out above me. It was Maya''s voice.


    I looked up at her weakly. "Maya, what happened to me?"


    "You had a fever, and you fainted because of over fatigue. It was Prince Rufus who brought you


    back. You just don''t know how nervous he was at that time," Maya exined, tugging off the corner


    of my quilt.


    It was only then that my memory flooded over like a tide. I remembered that before I fainted, I felt


    Rufus touch my head so gently. I didn''t expect that the cold lycan prince would do it to me one day.


    He even smiled, which was rare to see. I never knew that his cold face could be so attractive when


    he smiled. God knew how fast my heartbeat was at that time. Fortunately, I didn''t have a nosebleed.


    Because if I really had, I would be totally embarrassed.


    "Miss Todd, why is your face so red? Has your fever spiked again?" Maya asked worriedly.


    "What?" I came back to my senses and touched my face awkwardly. It was indeed burning hot. "No.


    It''s just that the quilt is a little thick."


    "I''ll give you a thinner one then." After saying this, Maya turned around and was about to leave.


    "No need. It''s fine." I grabbed her hand and quickly changed the topic. "Where is Prince Rufus?"


    "I have no idea," Maya replied nkly.


    But I could feel that Rufus was just outside the door. His aura seemed to have been deeply


    engraved in my soul. I could immediately feel his presence as long as he was nearby. But aside


    from him, I also felt another werewolf''s aura. It was a bit familiar, but I couldn''t remember who it


    was.


    While I was racking my brain, the door was pushed open, and Rufus came in. He waved his hand,


    hinting at Maya to leave.


    "How are you? Are you feeling better?" Rufus stood in front of my bed with an unprecedented smile


    on his handsome face, melting the coldness around him.


    I stared at him nkly as if I was mesmerized by him. "Yeah, I''m feeling better."

    "Don''t lie to me," he said as he leaned over and touched my forehead. He obviously didn''t believe


    me.


    As soon as I looked up, I saw his thick eyshes drooped, and there was a trace of seriousness in


    his half-opened eyes. My face began to heat up, and I couldn''t help grasping the corners of the


    quilt. Now that I was alone with him, I felt inexplicably nervous.


    "Can... Can you move away from me a little? I can''t breathe," I said haltingly. My nose was itchy,


    and I felt an urge.


    Wait! My nose felt wet. Could it be...


    I saw that the look on Rufus'' face changed. Then he took out his handkerchief in a hurry. "Why are


    you having a nosebleed all of a sudden?"


    "It''s... It''s because of excessive internal heat," I faltered. How I wished I could dig a hole and hide. It


    was too embarrassing! How could my nose bleed because of Rufus'' gorgeous face?


    "By the way, who was with you outside just now?" I immediately changed the topic.


    The expression on Rufus'' face froze. Then he said perfunctorily, "No one special. We were just


    talking about business."


    The unnatural expression on his face made my restless heart calm down. It was as if a basin of cold


    water was poured into it and extinguished the fire. It was only then that I realized that I had gone too


    far. I shouldn''t have pried into his private affairs. I actually didn''t have the right to do so.


    So I just nodded my head and didn''t say anything more. The atmosphere around us suddenly


    cooled down. Fortunately, a servant came in to bring my dinner, saving us from the embarrassment.


    "These dishes are good for your stomach. Although they are of small quantity, they are exquisite.


    This is the doctor''s order, so you should eat them all. I will also see to it that you eat on time from


    now on," Rufus exined while helping me up.


    I put down the handkerchief I used to cover my nose, feeling a little bitter in my heart. Rufus was so


    good to me. If he went on like this, I was afraid I would fall in love with him. With the huge gap


    between our statuses, I knew we could never have a happy ending.


    ''Stop your wishful thinking, Sylvia. There is only one way for you now, and that is to be


    stronger,'' I thought to myself.


    "How''s the enrollment going?" I asked, suppressing the anguish in my heart.


    "The rankings haven''t been announced yet, but there must be no problem with your scores. You will


    be admitted to at least ss C, so I asked them toplete your admission procedures. You will


    go to school tomorrow." As he spoke, Rufus put a small bowl of porridge on the side table.


    "That soon?" I was a little surprised. I thought I had to go through a series of reviews before being


    admitted to the school.


    "Yes. Generally speaking, students stay in the school dormitory. But since this room is very close to


    the school, you can just stay here," Rufus replied in a low voice.


    "I prefer to stay in the school dormitory," I blurted out, countering his words.
