Chapter 1133 No One Was There
Crystal''s POV:
My daughter pushed herself to tell us to save Arron, then she promptly passed out.
It made no sense to me. Wasn''t my son sleeping soundly in his room at this moment? Besides, I had a trusted subordinate stationed nearby to keep
an eye on him. There was no way something could have happened to Arron.
I took precautions to keep him from appearing in front of others while we were in the imperial capital. As far as the public was concerned, I had a son,
and Beryl simply liked calling me Mommy.
If anyone had indeed been targeting me, they wouldn''t have known enough toe for my son.
Unless... Unless the culprit already knew about his existence. My mind raced back to the message fromst night. Was the sender aware that Arron
was mine and Rufus’ son?
"I''l send for a doctor and have her checked. You should head back and make sure Arron''s all right. Call me if anything happens." Rufus lifted Beryl
into his arms without missing a beat.
I snapped back to my senses and fell into step behind him.
To my surprise, he paused and reached out to stroke my head. "Pull yourself together and calm down. You need to find Arron first. Hurry, or he might
really be in danger. You''ve got this, Crystal. Arron needs you."
I took a deep breath and nodded. "Right. I''ll go. You should call me, too, if something happens.”
As soon as I uttered thest word, I transformed into my wolf form and went bounding toward my residence. I still refused to believe that they had
somehow gotten to my son, but I had to admit that whoever was behind this, they had done a good job of luring me away.
They had used Beryl as bait to get me and Rufus out of the picture.
The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became. I quickened my pace.
The pce where we stayed finally came to view, and I spotted my trusted subordinate from a distance. He was still standing guard at the door.

considered it for a while, and then

"How long has Arron been sleeping?” I asked as I brought a forkful of cake into my mouth. I was already heading in the direction of the stairs.
"About three hours,” my subordinate said as he trailed behind me.
I swallowed the food I was chewing and whirled around with a grown. "And he hasn''t gotten up once
in thest three hours? Not even to go to the bathroom?”
Arron had never been one to take a long nap during the day. At most, he would only be out for an hour and a half. And the minute he woke up, he
would immediately ask for snacks.

"Okay."
I took the stairs two at a time, and quietly approached the room. I twisted the knob and slowly pushed inside.
The room was eerily silent. The curtains were drawn so that no light came into the tiny space.
I flicked the switch on and strode straight to the bed.
I pulled the nket off, only to find that no one was there.
