The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 576

Leonard's POV:

I hurriedly dropped the gem pendant, feeling surprised.

Why was it so hot? How could it be worn?

Was it just a showpiece? But it was really gorgeous.

This rare pink gem was worth collecting.

As I mumbled to myself, I placed the gem pendant back into the box and shut it.

The room was quiet. I sat on the sofa and took out some chocolate chips, popping them in my mouth while waiting for Rufus to return.

It would have been wonderful if I could have some milk tea right now. Edwin made excellent milk tea.

Sylvia must be truly furious with Rufus. She hadn't even stepped out to get some fresh air.

Rufus came back a little while later.

He eyed the chocolate chips that I hadn't put away yet and said in a disapproving tone, "The doctor instructed you to quit sugar."

I gave him an awkward smile and put the chocolate chips back into my pocket. "I was bored. I was just killing time."

Rufus scowled and took the chocolate chips from me. "After my father found out that you had spit out blood and were admitted to the hospital, he called me several times to inquire about your health. I don't want you to fall ill again, Leonard. Not only are you my father's best friend, but also my teacher."

I was deeply touched. Rufus had finally displayed some human emotion.

"Don't worry. I'm taking care of myself." I patted him on the shoulder, feeling pleased.

Rufus clicked his tongue and sank into the sofa.

Selecting a new Alpha would not be an easy task. "Before they have a new Alpha, this place will fall under the temporary jurisdiction of the royal family. We also need to step up security at the border to stop the vampires from hurting our werewolf citizens."

At the mention of vampires, Rufus' expression became fierce.

I sighed inwardly and hoped that those unlucky vampires would be more sensible from now on. Rufus had not rushed immediately to the vampires' base camp to slaughter them all simply because Sylvia was held captive there and her safety was his top priority.

However, if things like this happened again, I was certain he would not be so merciful.

After chatting a bit more about business, I got up, intending to leave.

I felt a little reluctant to exit though. Turning around, I looked at the closed bedroom door. In a casual tone, I asked Rufus to inform Sylvia about the time I would be departing tomorrow.

Although I was unwilling to admit it, I really hoped she would come to bid me farewell.

In my heart, I already saw her as my daughter.
