Chapter 367 Mysteries


    Sylvia''s POV:


    Afterwards, Rufus asked the doctors to run a general check-up on ir.


    There was no need for me to give ir more blood, so there was no point in us staying here. Rufus


    and I left the ward together shortly after.


    Rufus'' men were stood guard outside ir''s ward. Other than the doctors, no one was allowed to


    enter ir''s ward without Rufus'' permission.


    These were the necessary precautions Rufus needed to take to protect his friend. After all, dark


    witches were good at disguising themselves and often resorted to trickery.


    After we left the ward, Rufus and I headed to the lounge to deal with some governmental matters. A


    lot of work had piled up on his te as ofte. After Richard was caught, Rufus also needed to take


    charge of the military school. He was so busy these days that I wondered if he ever had the chance


    to rest.


    Rufus didn''t put down his pen until he had reviewed several urgent documents. Rubbing his temples


    tiredly, he said to his subordinate, "I''ll deal with the restter. Send these documents to the city hall


    first."


    "Yes, sir." The subordinate took the documents and left in a hurry.


    Rufus was like an integral part of a machine. Only when he worked could all the other parts function


    normally. It turned out that not only Rufus was busy, but everyone else around him was busy


    working alongside him.


    I sat on a sofa in the lounge and waited quietly, not wanting to disturb his work.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    A little whileter, the leading doctor came in with a report.


    "I''m afraid the result is the same as before." The doctor handed the report to Rufus. "The data


    shows that Mr. Joshua simply fell asleep. But ording to the blood analysis, his red blood cells are


    much more active than before."


    Rufus and I immediately exchanged nces.


    It seemed that my blood had some effect at the very least.


    "Is his life in danger if he just continues sleeping?" I asked worriedly.


    The doctor pushed his sses up the bridge of his nose and thought carefully before shaking his


    head. "For the time being, he''s not in any fatal danger. There''s nothing wrong with his physical


    condition."


    The doctor''s answer lifted a burden off of my shoulder. As long as ir wasn''t going to die any time


    soon, there was still a chance for us to save him.


    Rufus nodded in satisfaction and dismissed the doctor.


    When the doctor was gone, Rufus walked over to me and sat down. "I think we have enough time to


    look for Noreen."


    I nodded seriously.


    "So, Sylvia, that means you can go to the army and train first," Rufus said softly, tucking my hair


    behind my ears.


    "What? But..." I shook my head hesitantly. "I need to be here for you. And ir."


    "Don''t worry, Sylvia. I''ve already sent my men to watch over ir. If anything happens, they''ll report


    to me directly. I''ll tell you if I receive any news." Rufus looked at me patiently. "Noreen is very


    powerful. If you can be stronger, we''ll have a better chance at catching Noreen and saving


    ir."


    I gnawed my lower lip, caught between a rock and a hard ce.


    "Listen to me, Sylvia." Rufus stroked my cheek gently. "Don''tyouwantto catch Noreen yourself?"


    "Fine, fine. I''ll go train in the army," I finally relented, albeit reluctantly. When faced with a powerful


    enemy, I needed to resort to violence to deal with them. And in order to keep winning, I needed to


    keep getting stronger.


    "That''s my girl." Rufus nted a kiss on my forehead tenderly before letting me go.


    After escorting me back to the elevator, Rufus went straight to the doctors to discuss ir''s


    condition.


    It suddenly urred to me that Warren''s ward was also in this building, so I pressed his floor''s


    button in the elevator.


    However, as soon as I reached the corridor leading to Warren''s ward, I was stopped by four


    bodyguards in suits.


    "No one is allowed to enter," they said gruffly. One of the men even had the audacity to shove me


    rudely.


    But this didn''t anger me. I was just confused. Were these men sent by Warren''s father?


    But before I could ask, the door to Warren''s ward was opened.


    A well-dressed nobledy walked out. It was Alina herself.
