Chapter 848 The Two Bloodlines
Sylvia''s POV:
"Rufus! What''s wrong?"
I sprinted to Rufus and pulled him up as quickly as I could, but he was already unconscious. Blood
came out of the corners of his mouth while he grimaced in pain.
Flustered and outraged, I raised my head at Noreen and demanded, "What did you do to him?!"
Noreen blinked innocently. "I didn''t do anything." "Liar! It''s you! Otherwise, how could Rufus end up
like this?" I roared, and once again, my emotions were on the verge of getting the best of me.
After noticing that Rufus'' breathing became increasingly shallow, I was so anxious that I almost
wanted to kill Noreen.
"I''ve warned you before to stop using your power, but you didn''t listen to me. That''s why Rufus
became like this," Noreen exined coldly. Her vile face was adorned with a smug grin of triumph.
Upon hearing what she said, an idea popped into my head. With trembling hands, I quickly undid
the button on Rufus'' shirt and ripped open his cor, only to find that the ck thorns had spread
into his nape. The sharp tips had even stretched to his neck, as if they were going to wrap around it
at any moment.
The mere sight of it sent shivers down my spine. I was beyond shock. "How could this be? Every
day, I secretly inspect the thorns on Rufus'' back. They just reached the lower part of his shoulder
de yesterday. How could they suddenly grow so fast like this?"
"The thorn curse on the back of Rufus is caused by your power of ck witch and his love for you
only serves to strengthen the curse. It''s fine when your ck witch bloodline was suppressed by the
lycan bloodline before. But now that you''ve gradually unleashed the power of the ck witch, it will
only elerate the growth of those thorns." While talking, Noreen came around to the side where
Rufus and I were standing and squatted down. She looked at the thorns and clicked her tongue.
"Rufus does love you so much, but it''s your fault why he is in so much pain right now. Nothing would
have turned out this way if you hadpromised and left him sooner."
"Shut up!" I red at her with red eyes and growled, "Do you think this has nothing to do with you?
If it weren''t for you, the thorns wouldn''t have suddenly grown out of control. No wonder you asked
me to release all my power from the very beginning. You wanted me to kill Rufus!"

"Why do you refuse to kill Rufus? Love can only make people fall into decadence. You have such
strong power, and you shouldn''t be confined to the imperial pce. Worse, you''ve been living a
painful life for the sake of a werewolf. Is it worth it?" Noreen smiled, reached out her hand, and
touched my face. "Why are you crying? The ck witches are always strong and powerful. You
shouldn''t cry for love. It''s not worth it."
I shoved her hand away as hard as I could. I withdrew all my power, not wanting to talk to her for
another second.
But Rufus still showed no signs of consciousness.
I forced myself to calm down and racked my brain to think of a way.
"There must be a way. Calm down, Sylvia," I murmured to myself.
"What a pity! It must hurt a lot to watch the one you love die in your arms."
"I said shut up!" My shrill roar finally rendered Noreen silent. As I watched Rufus'' breath grow
weaker and weaker, I lost allposure and began to tremble violently.
Now I had no choice but to find a doctor. With advanced technology nowadays, I think they would
be able to save Rufus.
Before I could even scoop Rufus up to see a doctor, Noreen quickly stopped me.
"Where are you going?"
"It''s none of your business!"
"Well, it''s useless for you to ask anyone for help. As long as your ck witch bloodline exists, Rufus
will definitely die. It''s only a matter of time."
Reminded by Noreen, I suddenly remembered something. My dominant lycan bloodline had
suppressed my ck witch bloodline in the past, which was why the ck thorns were slow to
expand. What if I let the lycan bloodline burst out of me again? Could it make the thorns recoil
back?
