I felt helpless, but I was moved by Rin’s actions and instinctively strode forward, immediately wanting to hug her.
However, Rin stopped three meters away from me and refused to get any closer.
I looked into her eyes for a few moments before I squatted down and extended my arms. “Come here, Rin.”
Rin whimpered and refused to take a step forward. I knew she was mad, so I had no choice but to take the initiative to go forward.
As I did so, Rin put down the thing that she had been carrying in her mouth. It wasn’t until then that I noticed that she had been carrying the wolf pup that I secretly sent back last night. The new mechanical appendages were very flexible, and the wolf pup stumbled toward me like a little meatball.
I quickly caught the little wolf pup in my arms.
After we got along, he had become very dependent on me. He kept rolling in my arms and rubbing against me.
Rin was just staring at us. Before long, she tilted her head, and I could swear I saw her eyes light up, almost as if she was smiling.
Just when I was about to say something, she turned around and was about to leave.
“Rin?” I asked. I didn’t want her to leave just like that.
Rin turned around to look at me and the little wolf pup in my arms. Then, she wagged her fluffy tail and left.
I blankly stared at Rin’s receding figure as she walked away. I felt sad, but I understood her intention. She wanted me to take care of the wolf pup.
At that point, the wolf pup in my arms seemed to sense something, and he started to whimper. It was almost as if he was bidding farewell to his mother.
“I’ll miss you, Rin! Take good care of yourself in the forbidden forest, okay? I’ll come back to see you when I have the chance!” I shouted, hoping to get Rin’s attention.
Rin stopped in her tracks but didn’t turn around. She just raised her head high and let out a long howl before she ran away-her figure quickly disappearing from my sight.
At that moment, I couldn’t help but feel like Rin seemed like she knew everything, but she was just unwilling to face my departure.
I sighed and affectionately rubbed the wolf pup’s head. “I’m sure your mother is as proud as Rufus.”
The wolf pup rubbed his head against my palm and responded to me by whimpering.
I stayed there for quite some time before I finally went inside the car with the little wolf pup in my arms.
The driver was Laura’s confidant, and he was a middle-aged man. He was here to secretly escort me away. If anything were to happen in the near future, I could contact the queen through him.
“Should we leave now, miss?” The driver respectfully asked.
I took one last look at the capital city before I closed the window.
I shifted my gaze at him and nodded. “Let’s go.”
“Yes, miss.”
With that, the car slowly began to move and the building behind us gradually seemed far away. I couldn’t help but feel gloomy as I pulled the wolf pup closer to me. I didn’t know when I could come back here again.
The little wolf pup probably noticed how gloomy I was at that point. He clumsily stood up and licked my palm as if he was trying to comfort me.
I let out a chuckle. Admittedly, I felt much better after that. At least I had my and Rufus’ baby and the wolf pup with me. It certainly didn’t seem like I would be lonely in the near future.
Two days later, I arrived at the border area. The dilapidated surroundings were quite familiar to me. Fortunately, things seemed better than before. The pack seemed prosperous, and everyone seemed to be in perfect harmony.
Now, the pack members were no longer separated by the wall. The place where the wall had been built had now become a tourist attraction. A school had also been built nearby.
As I stood on the busy street and looked at the passers-by, I suddenly felt a surge of hope within me.
Flora’s POV
When I came back from my walk at noon, I received the news that Sylvia had passed away.
I couldn’t believe it at first. I turned my phone on to search for the latest news, but there was no news about her death in the capital city, nor was there any relevant news on the Internet.
I read the confidential report several times and thought it was fake. However, Warren told me that couldn’t be the case since there was Laura’s stamp on it.
Warren worriedly held my arm as he explained that. He was probably afraid that I wouldn’t be able to bear Sylvia’s sudden death.
My body trembled uncontrollably as my gaze roamed on the one particular sentence on the report again. It said, “Sylvia Todd died in the fire. She was burned to death, and her baby…”
I subtly shook my head. I couldn’t read it anymore, and I couldn’t imagine what happened to Sylvia. My sadness overwhelmed me, and before I knew it, I began to sob.
I grabbed Warren’s arm and cried out loud. “There’s no way Sylvia died! She told me that she would come to our wedding. We just talked to each other yesterday!”
Warren fell silent. He didn’t say anything, but the look on his face was grim. Despite that, he just held me in his arms and silently comforted me.
“I have to go back to the capital city and verify it myself. I don’t believe that Sylvia really died. Where was Prince Rufus? There’s no way he’d just stand by and watch her be burned to death!” I exclaimed as endless tears streamed down my cheeks. I pushed Warren away, wanting to rush outside. I wanted to go back to the capital city as soon as possible.
Warren hurriedly pulled me into a hug. I could tell that he didn’t want to let me go. “Prince Rufus was in a coma at that time. He didn’t know what happened. I heard a rumor that Sylvia was the one who harmed Prince Rufus and the king.”
“That’s bullshit! Sylvia would never do such a thing. She was definitely framed!” I shouted at the top of my lungs. My anger was already bubbling up, and I was dying to find the person who spread the rumor.
“No one knows exactly what’s going on right now, Flora. If you go back, it’ll only make things even more complicated,” Warren advised.
“What’s that supposed to mean? You don’t believe in Sylvia? You know there’s no way she can do such a thing!” I glared at him. If he dared to say no, I would immediately decide to leave with the baby.
But when he told me that he believed in Sylvia without hesitation, my expression softened.
“Anyway, I’m going back to the imperial capital. If Sylvia really is dead, I’ll bring her back home. I don’t want anyone to bury her body in the imperial city.” I choked on my sobs as I spoke. “Leonard won’t rest in peace until I take her back home.”
Tears welled up in Warren’s eyes. His voice was hoarse as he said, “Don’t worry; I’ll arrange everything and go back with you right away.”
“You don’t have to go back,” Owen suddenly said, his voice coming from outside. He was holding two envelopes in his hand and waving them around. “I just received these. Apparently, these are letters from Sylvia. Have a look.”
“Sylvia wrote these? To us?” I asked, my eyes widening in surprise. I immediately walked up to Owen and took the envelopes.
