Chapter 271 Settle Down


    Sylvia''s POV:


    Amused, I didn''t know whether to burst into tears orughter. Rin and Rufus had never liked each


    other, ever since the first time they met. It seemed the two still hadn''t reconciled.


    "Rufus looks mean, but you''ll know how good a man he is as time goes by," I said gently, rubbing


    Rin''s headfortingly.


    Rin whined and withdrew its head, as if it begged to differ.


    Thinking for a while, I pulled out the whistle Rufus had given to me from under my cor. "Look.


    Rufus made this whistle for me so that I could meet you whenever I wanted."


    Rin''s beady eyes nced at the carefully carved whistle in my hand. Without saying anything, it


    swung its big tail to the ground. I knew it was its way of telling me that its attitude was softening


    towards Rufus, so I added, "Rin, Rufus is my mate. If you can''t ept him, I''ll be very, very sad." I


    pretended to be sad and wiped imaginary tears from my eyes. "Just look at him! He looks so pitiful.


    If I just leave him here, he''ll be eaten by a wild beast. And If he dies, I can''t keep on living in this


    world."


    Rin lowered its head and whined anxiously, as though to reassure me that it understood where I


    wasing from.


    "So let''s take Rufus with us, okay? Don''t make me leave him here." I buried my face in my hands,


    pretending to be sad, peeking at Rin from between my fingers.


    Rin tilted its head to look at Rufus, as though it was weighing pros and cons. Finally, it rubbed its


    nose against the back of my hand, as if to say that it had agreed to my request.


    "Thank you so much, Rin. But I still need to ask a little favor of you." I smiled at it sheepishly. "You


    see, Yana is exhausted. I can''t carry Rufus anymore. Can you do it?"


    Rin let out a high-pitched whine and stomped its big paw indignantly. Then, it took a step forward


    and approached Rufus pensively.


    Seeing this, I thought it had agreed to my request. Just as I was helping Rufus up, Rin raised its


    front paw and stepped on Rufus'' limp hand. Then it raised its head and howled. A brown wild wolf


    suddenly ran towards us.


    The two wolves lowered their heads and whispered for a long time before finally, the brown wolf


    walked to me and knelt.


    Rin cast Rufus a sideway nce then raised its head proudly.


    Well, it turned out that Rin was still stubborn.


    I shook my head with a wry smile as I hoisted Rufus onto the back of the brown wolf. When he was


    secure, Rin led us through the forest until we reached the mouth of a hidden cave.


    There was a smallke near the cave. After I pulled Rufus off the brown wolf''s back, I hurried to turn


    off my phone to prevent being tracked. Then I went to theke and gathered some water on a lotus


    leaf to clean Rufus'' dirty and bloodied body.


    When I returned, he was still in aa. I carefully made him drink some water first. Then I pulled


    his shirt off and ripped it into small shreds to use as rags to wipe his face. His chin had been


    scratched. There was blood caked around the wounds. Additionally, there was a swelling purple


    bruise on his forehead, as well as other wounds scattered all over his body.


    Rin squatted down next to me and snorted. I turned to look at it questioningly. But Rin just covered


    its eyes with its forepaws, as if it couldn''t bear to look at Rufus.


    With a gentle smile, I touched its head then continued to deal with Rufus'' wounds. A little whileter,


    Rin stood up to leave, as though it had grown bored.


    I carefully cleaned the blood off Rufus'' body, my expression darkening. Although most of the


    wounds had stopped bleeding, it was clear that they were infected.


    My heart ached for poor Rufus.


    After a while, Rufus felt worryingly warm. He had a fever. I tried to lower his temperature by


    pressing wet cloth to his forehead. Fortunately, it didn''t take long before his temperature finally


    dropped. But he still refused to wake up.


    At a loss, I leaned over and kissed his forehead, tears welling up in my eyes.


    Rin suddenly appeared with a pile of berries just then.


    "Why, thank you, Rin." I rubbed its head gratefully.


    Rin sat next to me obediently and seemed to see how down I felt. It patted my hand with its paw to


    comfort me.


    I looked into its eyes and smiled. "I need to get him some medicine. Can you take care of him while


    I''m gone?"


    This time, Rin agreed readily. It nodded its head adamantly and even nudged me out of the cave,


    telling me to leave as soon as possible.


    "Okay, okay, I''m leaving!"


    I cast onest nce at Rufus before standing up to leave. I nned not to just get medicine but


    also inquire about what had really happened. The death of that child was just too odd. I suspected


    that it was another one of Richard''s evil ploys.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
