Chapter 649 Bear The Secret Alone


    Rufus'' POV:


    All of a sudden, all the color drained from Sylvia''s face and her lips quivered as she pushed me


    away.


    Startled, I sobered uppletely. I hugged her from behind and murmured, "What''s the matter,


    honey?"


    To my surprise, Sylvia burst into tears.


    I was so anxious that I tried to turn her around to look at her in the eyes, but she refused.


    "You''re scaring me, Sylvia. What''s wrong?" I tried harder to turn her around, only to find that tears


    were streaming down her cheeks and her eyes were full of despair.


    "I don''t understand. Why is it still there?" Sylvia asked, choked with sobs. She grabbed my hand,


    looking desperate and confused.


    I tried to wipe her tears away despite the anxiety gnawing at me. "Honey, just tell me what


    happened, okay?"


    Sylvia shook her head and whispered, "Rufus, I''m scared."


    "Don''t be afraid. I''m here." Seeing her like this shattered my heart. I felt suffocated. Seeing that she


    was too rattled to speak, I triedforting her with kisses.


    Gradually, Sylvia calmed down. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and felt a little


    embarrassed to look at me.


    I lifted her chin and looked into her eyes worriedly. "What happened? Tell me, honey."


    Sylvia lowered her head and averted her gaze. I could tell that she was hesitant.


    "It has something to do with me, doesn''t it?" Otherwise, she wouldn''t have gotten so emotional.


    Hearing this, Sylvia stiffened.


    I pulled her into my arms and sighed. It seemed I had guessed it right. Sylvia was hiding something


    from me.


    This was the second time that Sylvia had lost control of her emotions. The first time was also when


    we were about to have sex, on the day we left the border. I didn''t think too much about that at the


    time. I just thought that she was not feeling well. But today, the same thing happened again and it


    was clear that something was wrong. If she just wasn''t in the mood, she wouldn''t have reacted so


    violently.


    Sylvia''s eyes darted all over the room hesitantly.


    "Sylvia, haven''t we agreed that we shouldn''t hide anything from each other? Look, you''re scaring


    me."


    Finally, Sylvia lowered her head and said, "There''s something on your back. It might be a curse."


    "What?" I was confused. Another curse? But I didn''t feel anything...


    Sylvia sniffed and her eyes welled up with tears again. "There used to be a small mole on your


    back, but it just keeps getting bigger. I just know it''ll be a thorn in the future, and when it does,


    you''ll die."

    "How do you know?" I touched her tear-stained cheek. I felt sorry for her, but I also felt it kind of


    strange. She had been absent-minded and had nightmarestely. It turned out that this was what


    was bothering her this whole time.


    Unable to bear it, Sylvia burst into tears again. "I saw this curse in a book in Noreen''sb. I didn''t


    believe it at first, butter I realized that the pattern on your back looked a lot like the one in the


    book. The flower might''ve been able to remove the curse on your back, but now it''s gone." I was still


    confused. I touched my back, but I didn''t feel anything weird.


    "Where is the pattern you mentioned? I don''t feel anything abnormal on my back."


    When Sylvia first said that I had a mole on my back, I had specially checked, but there was nothing.
