Edwin already had his own life. If he really didn’t want me, maybe the most decent thing to do would be not to disturb him.
In this case, if I could at least know who my father was, then I’d at least fulfill my mother’s dying wish.
I supposed Flora was right and I could just wear this gem. If Edwin wasn’t my father, then this gem could be useful.
Perhaps I’d meet my biological father in Flora’s pack.
“I don’t think Edwin’s your father,” Yana suddenly said.
“What makes you say that?” I asked, startled.
“Call it a wolf’s intuition!” Yana answered lazily.
“I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.”
After thinking about it for a while, I slipped the box with the manual into my pocket.
Sylvia’s POV
Flora and I searched Noreen’s lab and took everything that looked useful.
The most valuable find was the flower that could remove curses.
I followed Flora around with the plotted flower in my arms.
Flora was groping the wall, trying to find the mechanism.
“I saw it just now. That’s how I opened the door to the hidden compartment.” Flora’s whole body was pressed against the wall, as if she was trying to use every inch of her skin to look for the mechanism.
Finally, I put down the potted plant and was about to help her when I suddenly stepped on something soft. Before I could react, the whole room began to swing, accompanied by rhythmic music.
As the room spun, Yana screamed excitedly, “Let me out! I want to jump around!”
“Calm down, Yana! Please! God! I feel like vomiting.”
The floor was swinging very slowly, but I still felt nausea.
By now, Flora had already vomited. Wiping her mouth, she cursed angrily, “What the hell?! Noreen is so good at messing with us!”
“Let me out, Sylvia! Listen to me. I won’t feel dizzy!” Yana begged.
I pressed my fingers to my aching temple in an effort to get rid of the dizziness, but it didn’t work.
Before I could lose my balance, I listened to Yana and turned into a wolf. In an instant, the dizziness disappeared.
Yana howled and pawed the ground, telling Flora to turn into a wolf, too.
But before she could transform, Flora vomited heavily once more. Finally, she weakly turned into a light blue wolf.
The two wolves rubbed snouts excitedly, not affected by the spinning room at all.
Just then, the music suddenly stopped and the room began to shake violently. Gradually, the room rotated horizontally.
Flora and I immediately turned back into our human forms and helped each other stand up.
“The plant!” Flora reminded me anxiously.
I quickly reached for the potted plant on the ground and hugged it, praying that this wasn’t an illusion, lest all our efforts be in vain.
About ten seconds later, the room finally stopped spinning. One of the walls was displaced, leaving a gaping hole-the exit. And standing right in front of the exit was Layla!
“I finally found you!” Layla’s eyes lit up in pleasant surprise. It turned out that she was the one who had found the mechanism that saved us just now.
After briefly explaining what had happened, we saw that there was a lot of blood on Layla’s arm. Plus, Ashley was missing.
“What happened?” I asked worriedly.
Layla cradled her wounded arm and smiled bitterly. “Ashley snuck up on me and attacked me, nearly disabling my arm.”
“What the fuck? Why would she do that?” Flora asked in disbelief. “I thought she was a timid vampire. She never fought back when she was bullied back in the werewolf pack. Where would she find the audacity to attack you so suddenly?”
“What the fuck? Why would she do that?” Flora asked in disbelief. “I thought she was a timid vampire. She never fought back when she was bullied back in the werewolf pack. Where would she find the audacity to attack you so suddenly?”
Layla shook her head and sighed. “She deceived us. She’s a vampire after all.”
“Fuck!” Flora’s eyes flashed with annoyance. She had taken care of Ashley without any racial prejudice. It seemed her kindness had gone to waste.
Everyone was blinded by her timid appearance. Even Layla, who had always been shrewd, had fallen for her act. She glanced at me and said, “The only reason why Ashley agreed to help you exchange hostages was because she wanted to find an opportunity to capture you and take you back to Hobson. I wonder how she found out that Hobson was looking for you. When you and Flora disappeared, she thought you were dead, so she decided to capture me instead. She used her special power on me and I almost lost to her. Fortunately, I sobered up in time.”
“So where is she?” Flora was a little angry. She rolled up her sleeves, as though she was getting ready to teach that vampire a lesson.
“She might have left by now.”
Sylvia’s POV
When I heard what Layla said, I was shocked. I didn’t expect Ashley would betray me. After all, it was Hobson and his children who had caused her so much suffering.
Why would Ashley still want to please that bastard?
It seemed that she still wanted to go back to that mysterious castle despite all the trouble it had brought her.
“Don’t be sad, Sylvia. Ashley’s just a vampire, and she was tortured by werewolves. I doubted she’d have ever become our true friend.” Noticing my change in mood, Flora put her arm around my shoulder and comforted me.
“I’m not sad. I just can’t figure it out. Other than Ashley’s mother, every single person in that castle wants her dead. Why is she still trying to go back and even please Hobson?” I sighed and felt that people’s hearts were a fickle thing, difficult to understand.
“To each their own. If that’s the path she wants to take, then who are we to stop her?” Flora smiled, as if she didn’t care about the matter so much anymore.
