Sylvia’s Pov:
I was confused.I touched the tip of Rufus’ ears and asked worriedly, "Why are your ears red? Are you really all right, Rufus?"
Rufus turned his head to the side and pursed his lips tightly.
He didn’t say anything, and his expression seemed a little stiff.His reaction made me even more worried.I touched his forehead with the back of my hand.
"Rufus, why don’t you say something? Do you still feel uncomfortable?"
He took a few deep breaths, turned his head back, and glanced at me with a hint of complaint in his eyes.I touched my head.I suddenly couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.
"You…"
Rufus’ voice was hoarse, and his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.
Obviously, he was thinking about something.
"Is something wrong?" I asked as I sat up straight and looked at him seriously.
His face had already returned to normal.
The corners of his mouth were sculptural when he didn’t smile, and the stubble on his chin made him look more dispirited and wild.
My heart started to beat wildly, getting out of control again.
"How long do you intend to stay this way?"
A deep and magnetic voice suddenly sounded.
But I was in a daze, so I did not respond.I didn’t even realize what he meant.
"Sylvia, you’re on top of me, crushing me."
"What?"
It was only then that I came back to my senses and found that I was straddling on Rufus’ waist.I had been in such a position for so long.I was flustered and frightened at the same time.I stood up in a panic, so I lost my balance.
My elbow fell on his abdomen.
Rufus grunted.
His sexy, muffled voice muddled me even more.
"I… I’m sorry.I didn’t mean to do it.It won’t happen again," I said with a flushed face as I quickly moved aside.
At the thought that I had kissed Rufus in such a posture just now, I wished I could just disappear immediately.I lowered my head and played with my fingers coyly.I wanted to say something to ease the embarrassment, but I was at a loss for words.
Rufus stood up and walked to another room.I also got up hurriedly.
"Is this a small wound to you? It cut almost to the bone.If you do this again, there will be consequences," he said discontentedly and gave me a disgruntled look.
"It’s all because you refused to cooperate," I said, pouting.
I was more dissatisfied than him.
"And you know that today is full moon, but you didn’t remind me.I’ve totally forgotten about it."
Rufus coughed lightly but continued applying medicine to my wound.
"I was afraid of scaring you."
"You actually scared me more when you didn’t tell me.And besides, you brought me back here with you because of your curse, right?"
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became.
"If I didn’t come here today, you would have died in pain.Do you think what you did was right? You took me all the way to the capital city to help you.But when you were attacked by the curse, you hid in the room alone and suffered by yourself.So what’s the point of bringing me back here?".
"I brought you back here with me only because…" Rufus said softly.
Then he put down my hand and cupped my face.
He looked at me with deep eyes full of affection and continued, "I want you by my side."
