Chapter 926 Lost Her Memory
Rufus'' POV:
I froze on the spot and my mind wentpletely nk. I could only feel my heart being squeezed.
It took me a while toe back to my senses.
I pried the little girl''s hands off, squatted down, and looked at her seriously. "What''s your name?"
The little girl tilted her head to the side and looked at me in confusion. "You''re my dad. How could
you not know my name?"
I was choked. "I''m not your father," I said in a hoarse voice.
"Huh?" The little girl''s doe-like eyes went as wide as saucers. "Daddy, are you ying games with
me?"
I touched my forehead helplessly. "No, I''m not ying games with you."
"All right." The little girl wrapped her chubby fingers around my index finger and said solemnly, "My
name is Beryl, but you should call me Baby Beryl."
"Okay, Beryl."
"It''s Baby Beryl." The little girl puffed out her cheeks indignantly.
I had no choice but topromise. "Well... Okay, Baby Beryl. Can you tell me where you''re from?"
Beryl thought for a while and shook her head, at a loss. "Didn''t Ie from your belly, Daddy?"
I felt my head hurt. I didn''t know whether I should exin to her that only she-wolves could get
pregnant and give birth to babies, not male werewolves. But she was so young that I figured she
wouldn''t understand. I couldn''t help but wonder if the little girl had been bonked on the head too
hard.
"Do you still remember your family? Who''s your Mommy?" I asked patiently.
Beryl shook her head again, her eyes welling up with tears. "I can''t remember. Daddy, aren''t you my
family?"
The little girl looked as though she would burst into tears if I said no.
I quickly dropped the topic and called the doctor in. "Is she okay? She seems to be a bit confused."
"I''m not confused!" Beryl cried indignantly. She wiped her tears away, nted her hands on her
hips, and started to recite something about herbal medicine.
Hearing this, the doctor was stunned. "Little girl, where''d you learn about all those herbal
medicines?"
Beryl smiled smugly. "I don''t know. They''re just in my mind. Anyway, I''m not stupid!"
I breathed a sigh of relief. To the doctor, I asked, "What''s going on?"
The doctor scratched his chin and mused, "The child must''ve suffered a concussion thanks to those
robbers. Concussions could lead to temporary memory loss. Presumably, before the child fainted,
thest person she saw was you, which left a deep impression on her. That''s probably why she
thinks you''re her father."
I pursed my lips and looked at Beryl wordlessly. If she lost her memory, things would be trickier now.
Even if the notice worked, I couldn''t be sure if the person who came to me was actually Beryl''s
family.
"Daddy, braid my hair." Beryl pulled the pink hair band off her wrist and ced it on my palm. Then
she turned her back to me, waiting expectantly for me to obey hermand.
I hesitated for a while and didn''t do anything. I had never braided anyone''s hair in my life. When I
finally managed to open my mouth to refuse, Beryl turned around and looked at me impatiently.
"Daddy, hurry up. Braid my hair."
"Er, okay." I picked up the hair band expressionlessly. After all, I was a king. As a king, it would be
tyrannical of me not to satisfy such a small request.
It took me forever to gather her hair and put it into the band, and the braid wasn''t exactly pretty. Her
hair was nice and smooth, but thanks to my clumsy hands, it now looked messy and frizzy.
"So, how long will thisst until she regains her memories?" I turned to the doctor, who was
watching from the side.
The doctor cleared his throat nervously and faltered, "It''s hard to say. Maybe a few days, maybe a
few months, or even a few years."
"Jesus!" His answer angered me. Coincidentally, before I could vent my anger, a guard came in and
said that Alpha Crystal wanted to see me.
Interesting. Why did that she-wolfe to see me now? Well, at least she saved me the trouble of
looking for her.
