Chapter 719 Bad News And Good News

Rufus’ POV:

Edwin was about to say something but stopped after reconsidering. Finally, he simply sighed and turned his back to Alina.

I felt a little helpless. Alina was Leonard’s only immediate family member. If she didn’t give us permission, we could not conduct the autopsy by f0rce.

“Have you seen enough of my father’s b*ody? If you have had your fill, you can leave. Don’t disturb his peace.” Alina frostily directed us to leave.

Upon hearing that, Owen stopped crying. He got his emotions under control and turned to look at Alina. “Child, Leonard is not just your father. He is also the leader of the whole pack. He is dead now. You can’t send everyone away so overbearingly and not let anyone mourn him.”

It seemed that Alina was ready to drop her pretense. Her usual obed*ience and impassivity disappeared without a trace. She gave Owen a sarcastic smile. “Do you think that’s what my father needs? Where were you when he was murdered? In order to save a lowly she- wolf, you didn’t leave behind a single guard to protect my father! Have you seen the hole in his chest? How painful do you think his death was? I think you all should be held accountable for his death. So, don’t shed crocodile tears.”

After hearing her outburst, Edwin collapsed to the ground, overwhelmed by guilt. “You’re right. We’re all responsible for Leonard’s death.”

He fainted as soon as he said this. Owen was alarmed. “Call the doctor!”

I requested the doctor to take Edwin to the hospital immediately. Owen was also distressed by this sudden turn of events. One of his friends was dead, and another one was unconscious.

Like a hard rock, Alina refused to be persuaded. She wouldn’t let Leonard’s b*ody undergo a postmortem.

Owen had a disappointed expression on his face. He looked at her sorrowfully and commented, “I think I can now understand why your father wanted to get you married into another pack.”

Owen had ruffled Alina’s feathers and she instantly exploded. “What was that supposed to mean?”

He shook his head and just sighed helplessly. Without adding anything else, he left with his men.

I didn’t linger around and left with him. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

As soon as I stepped out of the palace, I spotted Sylvia crouched under a tree, looking dazed. People milled around, but no one dared to approach her. She looked as lonely as an abandoned child. I felt very sorry for her. “Sylvia.” I approached her and called her name softly.

Her head shot up abruptly. When she saw it was me, she immediately got to her feet, watching me hopefully.

I knew the question on her mind, but I didn’t have the heart to reveal the cruel truth to her. I gently touched her flushed face. The sun was beating down on us today. I didn’t know how long she had been waiting outside. 

I sighed and took her to a shaded area. Then I said in a serious voice, “He d*ied about two hours ago. He had a fatal wound to his chest. It was very deep. It’s clearly visible that the murderer used a large amount of f0rce when they K*lled him.”

I saw the light in Sylvia’s eyes get extinguished in an instant. Before I could react, she passed out and fell backwards. I was unnerved and hurriedly picked her up to take her to the hospital.

I had lost count of how many times I had waited outside the emergency room lately. I was feeling so tormented that I kept pacing back and forth by the door.

I wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm myself down, but then I remembered that I had been trying to quit smoking.

I tugged at my hair in irritation. Damn it! An hour had almost passed. Why hadn’t Sylvia come out yet?

Finally, the doctor walked out while the light of the emergency room was still on.

“Prince Rufus, I have two pieces of news. One is good, the other is bad. Which one do you want to hear first?”
