Chapter 1033 A Possibility
Rufus'' POV:
As for the matter with Crystal, I didn''t want to argue with my mother anymore. Taking a nce at Beryl, who was sleeping soundly, I asked, "Mom,
what do you think is the matter with Beryl? She has been sleeping for so long, but she still hasn''t woken up yet.”
Hearing my words. she immediately panicked and she looked at me nervously. “Right, why is she still sleeping? Do we need to call the doctor?"
"I''ve called the doctor just now. He said that there is nothing serious. She is probably just asleep.” As I spoke, I was a little surprised to see the
evident change of expression on her face. As far as I could remember, my mother, who was always calm andposed, rarely revealed such rich
facial expressions.
Judging from the signs this whole time, I was sure that there must be some secrets between her and Crystal.
Ever since my father''s death, it had been rare for my mother to be so emotional or so willful like this. Since Crystal came. she no longer lived in
seclusion in her pce. The arrival of Beryl seemed to have brought a lot of joy to her.
Besides, since Beryl had lost her memory and thought I was her Daddy, I could understand why she called my mother Grandma. What I couldn''t
understand was why Arron called her Grandma as well.
Not to mention that they seemed to be strangely close to each other. In fact. just as my mother said, I was her son and she knew me well. In return, I
also knew what kind of person my mother was
She was never hospitable or enthusiastic about dealing with people before. At most, she would show a considerate amount of respect in regard of
other people''s feelings
So, when I first saw her being so enthusiastic about Arron and Beryl, I was surprised and suspicious at the same time.
I decided to take actions against Crystal only after what happened at the ball.
I had thought Arron''s bandage was just to cover his wounds, but when I noticed the guilty and scared expression on her face when I was about to
check his wounds, I guessed that things were not that simple.
It was as if she was afraid that I might see something, but I didn''t understand why. Arron was just a kid. Why was she so defensive about showing me
his face?
Could it be that there was anything wrong with his face?
But Arron and Beryl were twins.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
Seeing that everything was normal
with Beryl, it couldn''t be the case.
Although they had different tempers,
they should look fairly the. game.
Of course, I couldn''t rule out the possibility that they might look different. It was possible that Beryl looked like Crystal, while Arron''s gene took after
their father.
Suddenly, a thought shed through my mind.
However, before I could think about it carefully, my mother’s voice interrupted my train of thoughts.
"Did the doctor tell you when Beryl is likely to wake up?" my mother asked as she looked at me worriedly.
I shook my head. "No, he didn''t."
Before I came to see my mother,
asked thedoctor to do a check-up
for Beryljust in case. Although[~
knew that Crystal wouldn''t hurt
BerytI wanted to know howShe
managed to make her fall asleep.
However, the result was that there was nothing wrong with Beryl. nor was there any trace of medicine in her system.
So, there was only one possibility left, which was witchcraft.
This conjecture undoubtedly made me more wary of Crystal.
Holding Beryl’s hand, my mother turned and said to me, "Although her mother did something impulsive, I hope you won''t get angry with Beryl.”
I looked at hein confusion and
retorted, ''‘Ofbourse not. Beryl didn''t
do anything: How could I me her>
for her mother''s mistake? No matter
what,Beryl is a good girl. Since-she
believes that I''m her father, kshould
treat her well."

In fact, if Crystal could agree, I could even be Beryl''s godfather. In this way, there would be more reasons for Beryl to stay with me.
It was a pity that that she-wolf was a tough nut to crack. I was sure that she would never agree for something like this.
My mother felt relieved to hear his answer and nodded. "It''s good then.”
