Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 204

Warren’s POV:

There were so many werewolves coming and going at the gate of the Royal Hospital. A little boy who was playing with his friends accidentally ran into my leg. I quickly knelt down to help him up and patted the dust off his knees.

“Hey, are you okay?” I asked with concern.

Thankfully, the little boy nodded his head and smiled. “I’m fine.”

Just then, the little boy’s mother rushed over, apologized to me, and left with the little boy. I stood where I was, hesitant to go in.

The sun had risen. I wondered if I should push through and visit Sylvia.

I knew that my being here would be awkward, and I didn’t want to cause her any trouble or stress. Besides, Sylvia’s ward was strictly guarded by Rufus’ men. I was pretty sure Rufus would not let me in.

I sighed. I walked inside a flower shop beside the hospital and bought a large bouquet of flowers. In the end, I reasoned that because we were classmates, I should visit her out of courtesy.

As soon as I strode out of the store, bouquet in tow, I saw Harry and Flora come out of the hospital. I instinctively wanted to hide behind a pillar, but it was too late. Harry spotted me instantly.

“Warren!” he called enthusiastically. “You’re here, too?” I squinted at him suspiciously. I didn’t know why he was so excited to see me. We weren’t exactly friends.

I cleared my throat and walked up to them halfway. “Hi.”

Harry threw his arm around my shoulder as though we were old friends. “Would you like to join us for lunch?”

“No, thanks. I’m good.” A little embarrassed, I was at a loss as to how to handle this awkward situation.

Flora glanced the flowers in my hands and raised one eyebrow. “Are you here to see Sylvia?”

All of a sudden, I felt as though the bouquet was a ticking time bomb. I wanted to hide it behind me, but it was way too big.

Flora suddenly burst into laughter. The two dimples at the corners of her mouth popped out, as cute as a child’s. My heart skipped a beat and I had to avert my gaze quickly.

“What’s so funny?” I clenched the bouquet in my hands, cold beads of sweat forming on my palms. “After all, I’ve been in a similar situation. It’s only right that I visit her.”

“I suppose.” Flora nodded. In a calm, relaxed tone, she added, “She’s awake and she’s fine for now. Besides, we caught the culprit. It’s not related to what you suffered. Don’t take it too seriously.”

“Well then, that’s good,” I said dryly, unsure of what else to say.

Now, it was Harry’s turn to burst into laughter. “Bro, why do you look so nervous?”

“I’m not,” I protested stiffly. With a straight face, I added, “Get your hand off my shoulder please.”

Harry snorted but he obliged me and withdrew his hand. He walked to Flora, grabbed her arm, and started dragging her away. “Let’s go. I’m starving.”

Before they left, Flora turned around and gave me a quick look. “Prince Rufus is still inside. You’d better not disturb them.”

“Why bother to stop him? He doesn’t want to have dinner with us. Let’s go already,” Harry urged, a flicker of annoyance flashing in his eyes.

“Will you relax?” Flora retorted. “Did you starve to death in a past life?”

“Oh, yeah? Look at how big your cheeks are. You must’ve eaten to death in your past life!”

“Harry! Friendship over!”

They bickered as they walked away. I had half a heart to catch up with them, but seeing Flora’s receding figure in the distance, I gave up.

All of a sudden, dark clouds gathered in the sky and blotted out the sun. Passers-by ran like headless chickens, trying to find a place of refuge before the storm came. I stood alone at the gate of the hospital. The noises surrounding me seemed to fade into the background.

“Are you still going to visit Sylvia?” Salt asked quietly.

I kept silent for a long time. Finally, I threw the bouquet of flowers into the trash can. “I’m going to look for Alina.”
