Chapter 1216 Would Not Condemn Them
Rufus'' POV:
I saw right through my mother''s act the moment she hit the floor. Her acting skills were so poor, it was all I could do not tough outright.
But what could I do in this situation? Since she had gone to such lengths to try and hoodwink me, I felt obligated to pick her up and carry her to bed. "Guards," I called out to the men stationed outside. "Call for the doctor and tell him to get here as soon as possible."
I watched as my mother''s eyelids fluttered. She probably wasn''t expecting me to call a doctor over.
But I let her be. She was still my mother, after all. If she didn''t want to divulge her secrets to me, then I would not force her hand. I would just have to wait for Crystal to wake up and ask her. And if that didn''t work still, I''d just have my people investigate the matter. I didn''t think I woulde up empty-handed in the end.
I sat by my mother''s bedside and waited for the doctor to arrive. She was doing her best to stay still.
Not wanting to make things difficult for her, I stood up and went outside.
No sooner had I gone past the door than I heard the rustling sound of her turning over in the bed.
I just smiled and said nothing. Life had not been easy on my mother. She had been depressed ever since my father died. It wasn''t until Beryl and Arron came that I saw her regain the energy she once had.
So, no matter what secrets she was hiding with Crystal, I made up my mind not to condemn them.
The doctor arrived shortly after, and I ushered him in to give my mother an examination.
She was still pretending to be unconscious. I nced at the fan, which had fallen on the floor. It was on the nightstand when I exited the room. She must have used it at some point and tried to put it back in a hurry.
I picked it up without a word and set it back to its original ce.
After checking her, the doctor turned to me and said, "It''s nothing serious. I believe she is a little distressed. I''ll prescribe her some medicine, and she will be better after a good rest."
I nodded. "In any case, please do a full check-up on my mother. She has been fainting a lot these days. I''m really worried about her."
"Of course. I will arrange it right away." The doctor scurried away, presumably to fetch his instruments and whatnot.
I sat by my mother''s bed and said,
"Get some rest, Mom. You can exin everything to me when you wake up. Crystal''s condition is still
ain. I can''t leave her alone for too long. I''ll take my leave now."
Po Pert
Sure enough, my mother opened her eyes and let out a fake cough. "Yes, yes, you may go. I''ll be fine." "Yes, have a good rest." I stepped out of the room and told a maid to keep an eye on my mother. I had no doubt that she would be up and running as soon as I left her pce. Content

But before that, I dropped by the children''s room. They were sleeping soundly on the same bed, their heads pressed against each other.
I sat on a stool beside their bed and reached out to touch their faces.
A keen sense of contentment filled me.
Now that thought about it, if I
looked more closely, Beryl
resembled me, too. We shared the same nose and mouth. But overall, she looked a lot like Crystal Content

I felt like I was losing my mind.
I had yet to confirm the truth with facts, but in my heart, I was already sure of my suspicions.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.
Suddenly, Arron iled and shouted, "Mommy!" He seemed to be having a nightmare.
I stroked his back and hummed a children''s luby tofort him.
Arron continued to frown and fidget for a while, but he soon drifted back to sleep.
I breathed a sigh of relief. I stood up quietly and left my mother''s pce, taking the same path as before.
I didn''t know how Crystal was doing in the short time I was not by her side. I quickened my pace, and before I knew it, I was jogging back to where she was.
