The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 555

Sylvia's POV:

I walked over and tapped Flora's shoulder from behind.

Flora was so startled that she nearly jumped. Patting her chest to calm herself down, she asked, "Sylvia, what're you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same thing," I put my arm around her shoulder and said with a smile.

Flora snorted and relayed everything to me.

It turned out that Ashley was temporarily sent here with the other vampires after she was rescued from Geoffrey's clutches.

But none of these vampires seemed to like Ashley so they bullied her a lot.

Flora was in the middle of a mission and happened to pass by. Seeing that Ashley was in trouble, she rescued her.

"Now, she has retreated to the corner and hasn't moved a muscle. She has been in a daze this whole time." Flora pouted and threw her hands up helplessly. "I just told her a joke, but she didn't laugh. It's like she can't hear me!"

"I see."

I sighed and slowly approached Ashley. Squatting down next to her, I gently called her name.

But she didn't respond. She seemed to be completely immersed in her own world.

Rufus had once told me that Geoffrey had forced Ashley to drink poison so she couldn't speak.

I took out the antidote I found in Geoffrey's secret room yesterday and handed it to her. "Take it. This is the cure for your throat."

Even then, Ashley remained indifferent. It was as though she was a lifeless hull.

I had no choice but to put the antidote into her mouth myself. Then, I raised her chin to help her swallow it.

This whole time, Ashley didn't bat an eyelash. She behaved obediently and didn't resist at all.

"How are you feeling? Can you speak now?" I asked softly.

She stayed silent. I couldn't tell whether the antidote had worked or not.

"Your mother's name is Joi, right?" I had no choice but to bring up the topic of her family.

As expected, Ashley finally came to life at the mention of her mother. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her eyes regained clarity. She looked at me and asked, "You know my mother?"

"Me, too! I'll go with you." Flora chimed in. She put her hands on my shoulders and shook me, as though she was trying to knock some sense into me. "Sylvia, I'm going with you."

"No, you're not. You stay here. There's still a lot that needs to be dealt with." I shook my head decisively. Where we were going held too much uncertainty. I didn't want to put Flora in danger.

"If I don't go with you, I'll be depressed here!" Flora whined, trying to squeeze out a tear or two.

I felt a headache and hurriedly pulled Warren over. "Please convince Flora not to go with us. It's dangerous there."

Warren seemed to be at a loss. He awkwardly handed a handkerchief to Flora. "Let's go together. I'll protect you."

Flora stopped crying in an instant. She took the handkerchief and wiped her non-existent tears and said sincerely, "Warren, you're the best."

I was speechless. I shouldn't have brought Warren into this.

In the end, I had no choice but to agree to let Flora come with us.

"Fine. You'll be tasked with taking good care of Ashley. Don't act without permission and keep yourself and Ashley safe." I reminded Flora over and over again.

Florafollowedmeobediently. "Okay, okay. Iknow."
