Chapter 173 All Out Of Contact
Rufus'' POV:
I was in a meeting the entire morning. By the time it finished, it was almost noon.
The first thing I did after was to take my phone out to call Sylvia. I wanted to ask her out for lunch.
To my surprise, it seemed that Sylvia had tried to call me earlier, but she was supposed to be in
ss at that time.
I immediately got a strange feeling in my stomach. Did she mistakenly press the call button?
I called her back but there was no answer. I was beginning to get uneasy, so I called ir. He didn''t
pick up either.
At this time, the bell tower rang two times in the distance. I remembered that it was still supposed to
be ss time. That was probably why ir didn''t answer.
"Prince Rufus, I have a document for you to sign here." A senator walked up to me holding a pen
and paper.
I haphazardly signed my name and gave it back, rushing to my car right after and heading to the
school to look for ir.
Sure enough, ir was indeed in ss. He was surprised to see me.

"What are you doing here?" ir smiled and walked over, patting me on the chest. "You don''t
usuallye to see me in school."
I was not exactly in the mood to joke around. I turned my eyes to his ss on the training grounds.
No Sylvia.
"Where''s Sylvia?"
"Sylvia? I thought she was sick. Didn''t she tell you?" ir was confused.
"Sick? She was just fine yesterday. How could she suddenly get sick?" I grew anxious. My calm
demeanor faded at the very thought that something bad happened to Sylvia.
"I''m just as confused as you are. She was pretty fine during morning exercise today. But Flora just
said that she was sick." ir also began to worry. "Maybe we should call the dorm administrator
first."
I nodded as ir went to phone the administrator.
He dialed and rang the number several times, but it seemed no one was there to answer the phone.
My patience was thinning. I turned to him and said, "I''ll go to Sylvia''s dorm room myself and check."
"Wait. The dorm administrator''s picked up." ir stopped me and held up a hand.
"What are they saying?" I frowned. "Is Sylvia in her dorm?"
ir put down the phone and looked serious. "There''s no one in Sylvia''s room. Is there something
going on? Now that I think about it, Flora did seem nervous when I asked about Sylvia."
"Where''s Flora?" I quickly grabbed ir''s arm.
"Hey, students are watching us. Don''t embarrass me in front of them." ir gently removed my
hand and smoothed out his clothes. "Don''t worry. Sylvia''s just probably around here. She won''t get
lost."
"Easy for you to say." I gave him a cold look. "You don''t know what it''s like to care deeply for
someone."
All of a sudden, ir straightened his back and pped his thigh as if he remembered something.
"Flora left to fetch the equipment with other students, but they haven''t returned yet. If you didn''t
mention her, I would have forgottenpletely!"
"What do you mean they haven''t returned yet?" I asked, getting suspicious.
"Yeah. They''re not here yet. It''s been quite a while." ir nced at his watch. "More than half of
the ss time''s already passed. I wonder if something happened to them."
I looked at him, not saying anything.
ir faced his students and told him to practice on their own for the meantime before taking me to
the equipment room.
Just when we were about to arrive, a silly-looking werewolf appeared in front of us.
"You can''t go in there." Harry stood in front of us, blocking the way by holding out his hands.
"Why not?" I pushed his hand away and stepped forward.
But Harry stopped me again. I scowled and was about to throw a punch, but ir held me back.
"Calm down." He turned to Harry. "Where are Tom and Flora? Aren''t you supposed to be with
them?"
Harry couldn''t meet my eyes or ir''s. He stuttered, "They... I don''t... You shouldn''t go..."
My doubts and worries had taken over me. I pushed Harry to the side and forced myself into the
equipment room.
