Chapter 777 Shot
Sylvia''s POV:
After hesitating for a moment, I slowly made my way towards Rufus, reaching out to hold his
outstretched hand. Rufus stared at me unblinkingly, as though he was scared I''d disappear in the
blink of an eye.
My mind seemed to stop working. All I could think about now was him. At this moment, I was about
topromise.
Just as my fingertips were about to brush against Rufus'', a fierce gunshot rang out.
I looked at Rufus in horror as he slowly knelt down on one knee. Then I saw a bullet hole in his shin.
"Rufus!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. The blood all over my body seemed to run cold and my
heart seemed to stop beating in my chest.
Without a second thought, I threw myself at Rufus. I didn''t expect that ir would pick me up and
run away at that moment.
Before I came to my senses, ir had managed to drag me to a hidden cave. I struggled to free
myself from ir''s grip and saw that he was holding a small pistol.
I instantly exploded in anger and punched ir square in the face. I grabbed his cor and shook
him, roaring, "How dare you shoot Rufus?!"
ir coughed up blood again, clutching his chest. He thrust the gun into my hand and said, "It''s just
an ordinary gun. I avoided any the vital organs and just hit his leg. A werewolf''s body is already
strong, let alone a lycan''s. He''ll recover in a few days. I''m the one who was almost beaten to death
by him, okay?"
He gasped in pain as his wounds were torn open again. His face was beaten ck and blue, and it
was so red and swollen that it almost looked like a pig''s head. Rufus clearly didn''t show him any
mercy.
Even so, I gritted my teeth and cursed him. "You deserve it."
ir smiled bitterly and coughed up some more blood. I had no choice but to give him the ointment
I''d brought with me. Then I sat at the mouth of the cave and ignored his existence.
It was dark now. We were in the middle of the wilderness and I could hear birds chirp from time to
time. Sitting there in a daze, I had never been in such a bad mood before.
ir furtively applied the ointment on his face and groaned in pain. "If I hadn''t grabbed you away,
Rufus would''ve taken you back and imprisoned you by now."
"That''s better than hurting Rufus," I said coldly. Even though ir was right and he had helped me
escape sessfully, he shouldn''t have hurt Rufus. While Rufus had been shot with just an ordinary
bullet, he''d still be hurt. Moreover, the fact that ir brought a pistol with him and even shot at
Rufus so decisively showed that he was already prepared to hurt his friend. Perhaps in his eyes,
Rufus was no longer a friend.
Now that things hade to this, I knew in that moment that everything was going south. Rufus
was probably heartbroken.
Realizing this, my heart ached again. He was in pain and I wished I could be there for him.
"Hey, hey, don''t be angry. I did this for your own good. Didn''t you want to escape? If you were taken
back, you''d never be able to leave the imperial pce for the rest of your life." ir turned on a
shlight and aimed it at me. It seemed that he was in much better shape now.
I wiped away my tears with the back of my hand and faced the opposite direction stubbornly.
ir clicked his tongue helplessly. "Anyway, I''m not taking you back. We''ve finally made it out alive
and now, we''re on the same boat. Rufus must think that we''re having an affair."
I couldn''t stand it anymore and hissed angrily, "Shut the fuck up!"
"Fine." But ir wasn''t done yet. "Everyone thinks we''ve eloped. The misunderstanding is
unavoidable."

I mped my hands over my ears and didn''t want to listen to ir''s nonsense any longer.
Fortunately, that was thest of what ir wanted to say. After a while, I took out my phone to text
Rufus, hoping to at leastfort him. However, before I could even type a single word, my phone
was snatched out of my hands. The next thing I knew, ir was smashing it to pieces on the
ground.
