Chapter 1076 Strong Physical Fitness


    Rufus'' POV:


    Through the crack in the door, I spotted Crystal rushing away. For some reason, my chest felt


    constricted.


    I reflexively touched the bandage that covered my wound, thinking that perhaps the pain was a


    result of my injury.


    Mom asked me in a surprised voice, "Get married? Are you sure you want to be so hasty about it?"


    Just as I was about to answer affirmatively, the dull pain returned to my chest, and it was even


    worse than thest time. I felt as if a needle had suddenly been plunged into my wound. So my


    hand automatically flew to my heart.


    I called back the doctor who was getting ready to leave. "Don''t go yet. Come and check if my chest


    wound is inmed or something. Why does it keep paining?"


    The doctor turned around and asked with a confused expression, "Is the medicine not effective


    enough?"


    Then he removed the gauze and examined my wound. Meanwhile, I turned my attention to my


    mother and said, "Now that I''m supposed to get married soon, and I have happened to meet the


    mate designated to me by the Moon Goddess, I think this is my fate. That being said, Ad and I


    should get married."


    Mom stared at me speechlessly. She looked like she wanted to say something but stopped after


    giving it a second thought.


    The doctor finished examining my wound. "It''s fine. Maybe your sudden movement just now


    disturbed it."


    I touched my chest again and realized that it didn''t hurt so badly anymore. So I nodded indifferently


    and asked the doctor to leave.


    After pondering for a while, I turned my gaze to Ad, who was standing by the bed, and calmly


    asked, "Did you hear what I just said? Are you willing to marry me?"


    Ad lowered her head shyly and softly replied, "Of course, I am. I''ve been your admirer for a long


    time." My mother, who had been quiet for quite a while, abruptly asked Ad, "Since you came to


    the ball we held thest time, didn''t Rufus and you notice each other as mates?"


    Ad paused for a moment, and then replied, "I was unwell that day, so I left before the ball began


    and His Majesty didn''t get a chance to meet me."


    She wiped her palms on the sides of her dress again. Every time she answered Mom''s or my


    questions, she got an overcautious and uneasy expression on her face.


    And for some reason, her timid tone irked me.


    But considering she was my mate and had saved me, I stayed calm and interrupted her


    conversation with Mom. "Ad, is your body in any difort?" Thinking back to the unrestrained


    sex I had with her over and over against night, another apologetic wave of guilt toward her


    washed over me. Although I didn''t feel the joy and expectation in my heart when I was in her


    company, as her mate, I would still take care of her till the end. I would protect her, cherish her, and


    fulfill all her desires.

    I repeatedly tried to convince myself that this was the best oue, but in my mind, a vision of


    Crystal taking off her mask and smiling at me popped up. Her eyes were bright and clear. Her red


    lips parted and she said to me, "Idiot!"


    I was so enraged that I wanted to teach her a lesson, but Ad''s voice interrupted my reverie.


    It was only then that I realized I had fallen into some kind of hallucination just now. It felt like a


    memory deep in my brain had shaken loose, or I had just imagined a scene.


    I put a hand to my mouth and coughed. Then I looked up at Ad and asked, "What did you say


    just now?"


    In a soft voice, she replied, "I just said that I was fine."


    It suddenly dawned on me that she was answering my question. And then I was bewildered. Was


    she truly in such good health? Howe she didn''t even feel tired after an entire night of wild sex


    with me?
