Chapter 797 Poor Acting

Sylvia’s POV:

“Miss Todd, it’s me,” Maya said, her voice coming from outside. “The doctor is here.”

I pressed my lips into a thin line. I couldn’t believe Rufus really asked the doctor to check on me.

Didn’t he think my acting was terrible? Why did he still play along?

As I thought about that, I felt even more depressed. I covered my head with the blanket and ignored Maya completely.

She knocked on the door two more times and asked, “Miss Todd, can I open the door?”

I didn’t say anything. I just pretended not to hear her. “I’m coming in, Miss Todd,” she said when I didn’t respond. Her voice sounded a little helpless.

After a while, I heard keys, followed by the sound of the door opening.

I pulled off the blanket, sat up from the bed, and gloomily looked at the door. I saw Maya come inside the room. Beside her was an amiable-looking female doctor. The doctor greeted me with a smile before she checked up on me. The result was quite surprising.

“Miss Todd, your baby looks much more stable and stronger than before,” she said.

My heart instantly fluttered the moment I heard that. I felt so happy. “What else do I need to do, doc?”

“Just keep doing what you’re doing and be careful with your d*iet. You should keep yourself happy and try to get enough sleep.”

I listened to the doctor and kept her words in mind. Just then, something occurred to me, so I held her hand and earnestly said, “If Rufus asks you, can you just tell him… like, for example, I had a stomachache because I was emotionally unstable. And even though I look healthy, I’m actually weak and frail?”

I winked at her and tried my best to persuade her to tell Rufus that I was seriously ill.

But she just smiled and helped me lie back down on the bed. “Have a good rest, Miss Todd.”

After that, she left and took her med kit along with her. Did she even understand what I meant?

I looked down, grabbed the blanket, and heaved a sigh. “Maya, I need your help.” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Maya considerately poured me a glassof water and put it on the bedside table. “Miss Todd, you should rest first. If you need anything else, just press the bell on the bedside table, okay?”

I reached out for her hand and looked at her straight in the eye. At this point, I was willing to do anything. I was desperate for freedom. “You don’t understand. Please just help me remove the shackles, Maya. Let me out of here.”

Maya simply gave me a bitter smile. “I can’t do anything about the shackles, Miss Todd. Prince Rufus is the only one who has the key to the shackles. I only have the key to this room.”

“Ugh! Of course!” I slammed my hand on the bed, expressing my irritation. “Rufus!”

“Miss Todd, all I ask is for you to be obed*ient and stay here for a while longer. When Prince Rufus calms down, I’m sure he will let you out,” Maya helplessly replied. “How about I break the lock by

myself and you just get me the tools?” I persuaded. I still didn’t want to give up on my pursuit of freedom.

Maya took a big step back and kept away from the bed. She looked down and hesitantly shook her head. “Miss Todd, please don’t make things difficult for me. If Prince Rufus finds out about it, I’ll be doomed. I’m sure you’re aware that if he’s mad, even the Lycan King can’t stop him. He’s actually showing you mercy this time because he loves you.”

I could feel the fear in Maya’s voice, so I didn’t insist anymore and heaved another sigh. Then, I laid back down.

“Miss Todd, please don’t be mad at Prince Rufus. You don’t know that he has been…”

Maya abruptly stopped mid-sentence and bit her lip. Her expression was oddly complicated.
