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

Crystal's POV:

"If Beryl remembers that Rufus is her father, then she should've remembered that I'm her grandmother. But ever since she woke up, she keeps looking at me like I'm a stranger," Laura said dejectedly.

Laura was one of the people who loved Beryl the most. She would've been devastated if her own granddaughter didn't remember her.

When Beryl was in a coma, it was Laura who stayed by her side almost every minute of the day.

"Maybe her mind's still a bit fuzzy from being in a coma. She should be fine after a while," I comforted Laura softly.

But Laura had a point. Since Beryl was able to remember Rufus, why didn't she remember Laura?

I just couldn't figure it out. There was an indescribable strange feeling in my heart that could be likened to dread. It seemed that something had changed in my daughter.

"Don't overthink. She was asleep for so long, so I think she's a little muddle-headed. Besides, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to see her mother," Rufus said.

I nodded with a sigh. "That's the only explanation. We'll just have to be patient. The doctors said that Beryl's physical condition is fine, so maybe the problem still lies in her memory." Laura was a little sad, but she snapped out of it soon. While we were chatting, Laura suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Crystal, you remembered everything?"

I was amused by Laura's sudden reaction and replied, "Yes, I remembered everything. And I'm fine."

"Oh, that's great! Beryl's awake and you've recovered. I'll hold a banquet to celebrate all these good things tomorrow." Laura was so happy that she wanted to throw a party.

Rufus and I exchanged knowing glances. Both of us were amused. When we saw how happy Laura looked, we couldn't help but feel happy too.

Laura had never been this excited since Ethan's death.

While Laura was talking about what she was going to wear in the party, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Rufus and me holding hands. Her eyes went as wide as saucers. "What's going on between you two?"

Rufus chuckled and naturally lowered his head to rest his forehead against mine. "It is what it is, Mom."

Laura's jaw went slack, but

queen of the empire, she didn't scream. She managed to stay calm and asked us point-blank, "Are you together?"

But in order not to make Laura worry, Rufus and I had agreed in private not to tell Laura that he was still cursed.

Laura heaved a long sigh of relief. "Those who are destined to be together will naturally find each other."

Rufus looked at me lovingly and squeezed my hand. "But what about your memory loss? Rufus, do you remember anything now?" Laura's tone suddenly took on a tinge of worry.

Rufus shook his head. "I only have scraps here and there, and I can't piece them together. But I'll find

a way. I won't let the one I love leave me again."

Laura waved her hand and rolled her eyes in feigned exasperation. "Okay, okay. I'm too old to get involved in your affairs. As long as you are happy, I'm happy."

Just then, there was a knock on the door. The buffet trolley had arrived.

"I'm going to feed Beryl. She must be starving." I stood up and was about to leave the study.

Suddenly, Laura called me from behind.

"Wait, there's something else that's been bothering _ II

me.

"What is it?" I turned around and looked at her inquisitively.

"When Beryl woke up, she called you Sylvia."
