Chapter 685 An Unknown ident
Rufus'' POV:
Edwin got sentimental about the past. When he exined the events that had urred, his
expression grew heavy.
"No one expected that to happen." He inhaled deeply and stopped talking.

"What exactly happened?" I asked curiously.
These days, very few idents could cause prolonged memory loss. After all, medical technology
had taken great strides forward.
Even if Leonard had suffered a head injury, it was impossible for him to not have even one memory
come back over the years, especially when he loved that woman so deeply.
Edwin just shook his head and refused to add anything else. He just told me what went down after
the ident.
"Leonard hadpletely forgotten about those three months with Olivia. After that, he agreed to the
marriage arranged by the elders in our pack. In the following days, he lived a methodical life like the
vast majority of people. He began smiling again only after Alina was born."
Back then, Leonard was married to the daughter of another pack''s Alpha. I had attended the
wedding with the lycan king.
"What about Olivia? Where did she go?" I asked.
Edwin sighed. "She went back to her pack with their baby. You know everything that happened after
that. When Olivia died, Leonard seemed to have sensed it somehow. He fell seriously ill. I didn''t
know someone from her pack had set Olivia up back then. I only found out about her death after the
news spreadter."
I sipped my whiskey silently, my heart sinking. If Sylvia found out about these events, she would be
incredibly sad.
Judging from Edwin''s tone, Leonard and Olivia underwent a forced separation.
But what on earth could make two people who loved each other so intensely part ways?
"Can you give me details of the ident?"
Edwin''s face was a mask of regret. "I''m sorry. I promised Olivia that I wouldn''t reveal it to a single
soul. But please trust me. I don''t mean to cause harm to anybody. Maybe this is better for both
Sylvia and Leonard. This was Olivia''s choice. I hope you can respect her wishes."
I was at a loss for words for a while. I didn''t know if I should agree with his stance or not.
Sylvia had always wanted to find her biological father. Now he was within her reach, but she
couldn''t know the truth. I didn''t want her to remain in the dark for the rest of her life.
However, Edwin was insisting that I honor Olivia''s wishes.
"The truth wille to light sooner orter, Edwin. Sylvia and Leonard are both highly perceptive
people. Are you sure you will be able to bury the truth forever by yourself?" I said in a frosty voice.
Right now, Sylvia mistakenly considered Edwin to be her biological father. This made it easier for
Edwin to keep the secret, for now. But the truth would eventually be exposed. If he confessed the
truth to Sylvia and Leonard at that time, neither of them would be able to reconcile to it.
Leonard was getting progressively weaker every day. I was genuinely scared that Sylvia would
never get the chance to meet him as her father. Irrespective of the magnitude of misunderstandings
present, concealing the truth was still very cruel.
Edwin pondered over this for a while. As ifing to a decision, he had a firm look in his eyes as
he said, "As long as I''m alive, I won''t let anyone else discover that Leonard is Sylvia''s biological
father. Prince Rufus, I hope you will cooperate with me and keep this secret."
There was nothing I could say.
Just as we reached this impasse, Leonard abruptly charged in and questioned Edwin with
bloodshot eyes, "What the hell are you talking about? You have hidden so much from me! How
could you do this? Do you think I''m blind and stupid?"
Edwin shot to his feet, his face deathly pale with fear. "Leonard, what... Why are you here all of a
sudden?"
