Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 616

Sylvia’s POV:

Rufus immediately sent the potted plant to the lab for testing while I went to the ward to see Blair.

Blair was still asleep in bed, as still and lifeless as we left him.

Although his vital signs were stable, he had lost a lot of weight and his cheeks were sunken. The originally energetic young man seemed to be withering away before our very eyes.

The first time I met Blair, he was a bubbly, enthusiastic, and sunny person. He was the first friend I made when I moved to the capital city, and he added a lot of color to my life. Both Flora and Harry also liked Blair very much.

Although Blair was strict with us in class, we were good friends outside the classroom.

I felt sad. I didn’t think things would turn out like this.

Fortunately, we had the flower now.

If the lab brought back favorable results, Blair might recover soon.

I sat down on the chair next to Blair’s bed and waited for a long time before Rufus finally came back with the doctor.

I immediately stood up and asked, “How’s it going? Any results yet?”

“The potted plant didn’t show any abnormalities, but it’s never been recorded in the empire’s encyclopedia of botany,” Rufus said.

“Well, then… Is it at least useful?” I frowned worriedly. If the potted plant turned out to be useless, then all of my efforts would’ve been in vain.

The doctor cut in, “Although there is some risk involved, Blair’s condition is getting worse, so we might as well give it a try.”

I looked at Rufus expectantly and waited for his decision.

Rufus seemed to be deep in thought. Finally, he nodded and said, “Let’s do it. Since nothing strange showed up in the examination, let’s take a chance.”

I nodded. “Okay.”

Then I set the potted plant near Blair’s bed.

Everyone waited with bated breath. We all stared at the heart rate monitor, fearing the worst would happen. The ward was so quiet that one could’ve heard a pin drop.

I was extremely nervous. What if the potted plant didn’t work on Blair? Or worse yet, what if it did him harm?

As time passed, Blair’s condition remained unchanged.

Sweat broke out on my forehead. “Is it really useless?” I asked Rufus in a low voice.

Rufus wrapped his arms around my waist and said comfortingly, “Perhaps we have to wait a bit.”

But my heart was pounding. With pursed lips, I looked at Blair again.

His face was as calm as usual. It seemed he was still in a deep sleep and wasn’t going to wake up any time soon.

Rufus suddenly chuckled and held my hand. “Well, calm down, Sylvia. It might take some time before Blair shows any signs of waking up. Just leave the potted plant next to him. Maybe Blair will wake up tomorrow. Let’s go back and get some rest. I’ll have my men watch him twenty-four hours a day. If there’s any news, we’ll be the first to know.”

After some slight hesitation, I finally nodded. “Okay, let’s go back first.”

With that, Rufus and I left the Royal Hospital and retired to Rufus’ palace.

As soon as I entered, I ran into Maya, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time. She was carrying a vase in her hands, and when she saw me, she shouted in surprise, “Miss Todd! You’re finally back!”

I quickly let go of Rufus’ hand and ran to hug Maya. The two of us jumped and giggled like two teenage girls.

Rufus coughed lightly. Maya quickly stopped and greeted Rufus politely.

Rufus chuckled. “Don’t mind me. I’ll be in the study.”

Then he left, leaving Maya and I smiling from ear to ear.
