Chapter 637 Destroy All Hope


    Sylvia''s POV:


    Sure enough, by the time Rufus and I burst into his room, our worst fears were confirmed. The


    potted nt on the bedside table had been smashed, and the blooming flower had been trampled


    into pieces.


    I held the remnants of the flower in my hands carefully and felt my heart shatter.


    Now that the flower was gone, the curse on Rufus couldn''t be removed.


    My brain was a mess. I had no idea what to do.


    Just then, Rufus'' men had captured someone and brought her to us. It was the she-wolf who had


    deceived me earlier.


    I grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her angrily. "Why?! Why would you do such a thing?" The


    she-wolf was no longer as timid and shy as before. She smiledcently and said with disdain,


    "Rufus is a monster. He doesn''t deserve to be a prince, let alone a king."


    After saying that, she pushed me away and tried to kill herself, but Rufus quickly stopped her.


    Soon, Rufus'' men subdued her and she couldn''t move.


    "Take her away and interrogate her. Find out who''s behind this." Rufus also ordered his men to


    investigate the she-wolf''s close connections in the army.


    I watched from aside and felt guilt and despair. If it weren''t for me, Rufus wouldn''t have been lured


    out of his room.


    Anger, shame, and regret upied my heart. I was so stupid! How could I have fallen for such a


    dumb trick?


    "Sylvia, find a clean pot and rent the flower. Maybe it can still live. I doubt Noreen''s things are


    that fragile," Yana suggested.


    I sniffed and snapped back to reality. Following Yana''s instructions, I found a clean pot, tidied up the


    soil and the flower, but the flower was too withered.


    There was no way to fix it.


    I dug my bare hands into the soil and tears welled up in my eyes. Ourst glimmer of hope was


    snuffed in the blink of an eye.

    "Don''t cry, Sylvia. The soil was nourished with Noreen''s blood. Perhaps it has other uses." Yana


    refused to give up and asked me to dig the soil up and seal it away.


    But as soon as I found a stic bag and was about to pack the soil in it, I found that the color of the


    soil had changed from red to normal. Now, I was certain that it waspletely useless.


    Tears streamed down my face uncontrobly.


    Rufus came back in after he instructed his people to deal with the she-wolf. He was startled when


    he heard me crying. He knelt down next to me and asked, "Honey, what''s wrong?"


    "It was all my fault. I was so easily fooled..." I cried so hard that I couldn''t catch my breath. I wiped


    my tears away with my filthy hands. As a result, my face was covered with mud, and I felt even


    more dejected.


    This made Rufus burst intoughter.


    I stopped crying and looked at him in confusion. How could he stillugh like this?


    Rufus stretched out his fingers to wipe the mud off my face and coaxed me softly, "It wasn''t your


    fault, honey. That she-wolf was a spy who has been lurking around for some time now. No one


    could''ve seen iting."


    "But... But the flower is gone. The curse..." Speaking of that, I couldn''t help but burst into tears


    again. I felt like I was drowning in a pool of despair.


    I had already started to picture a life with Rufus and our children, but now I felt hopeless and angry.


    Rufus held me in his arms andforted me. "Honey, don''t cry. Things aren''t as bad as you think.


    There''s still hope."


    "How? It''s notlike we can justbringNoreen here," I said tearfully.


    Rufus simply smiled and pecked me on the forehead. He then said in a meaningful tone, "Calm


    down. Let''s wait and see."
