Chapter 63 Clues About Her Father
Sylvia's POV:
I looked up in surprise and quickly took out the piece of cloth from the cloth bag. I gave it to Flora. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
On the piece of cloth, there was an intricate pattern sewn with gold threads. Before my mother died, she shoved this thing into my hand and asked me to find my father. Although she didn't get the chance to tell me anything more, I thought this pattern must have something to do with my father.
I stared at Flora with anticipation, trying to find clues in her brooding face.
She took the piece of cloth from me and looked at it carefully. "This should be the badge of our pack."
"Really?" Her words made me feel so excited. Finally, I got a clue about my father.
"But it's a style that was used a long time ago. It's not being used now. Since sewing this pattern was too cumbersome and time-consuming, a simplified version was designed later." After saying this, Flora took out her clothes and showed them to me.
Sure enough, the pattern on her clothes was simpler. But it could be seen at a glance that the core of the two patterns was the same.
Although the clues were vague, at least they showed that my father might be a member of her pack. I took Flora's clothes and compared them with my piece of cloth carefully. I wasn't only surprised but also nervous. I didn't know what kind of werewolf my father was. I wasn't even sure if he would be happy if he knew my existence. Or would he loathe me if he found out that I used to be a slave?
"How did you have this?" Flora asked curiously, tilting her head.
I was about to answer her question, but Yana stopped me.
"Don't tell her, dear. It's better to be cautious about this matter. You've just met Flora, and you don't know her that much yet. What if she can't be trusted? What if she divulges your secret and someone takes advantage of it?"
Yana was right. I was just too anxious.
So I pretended that it was nothing important and returned Flora's clothes to her. "I'm just a little curious. I only find this pattern very beautiful, so I keep it. But I don't know where it came from. Thank you for telling me."
"Oh, that's fine." Flora waved her hand, folded the clothes, and put them back into her closet. "You can ask me anything about my pack in the future. I'm willing to answer all your questions." She was an enthusiastic and energetic she-wolf who seemed to have an inexhaustible amount of energy. At this moment, she rushed to my table and said, "Come on, try this specialty I brought." As she spoke, she quickly opened the package, and I saw a stack of brown-red meat inside. I picked up one piece and smelled it. It seemed very delicious.
"What's this?" I asked curiously.
"Eat it first. Then I'll tell you what it is." Flora's eyes lit up. It was as if she was trying her best to sell her specialty.
I couldn't resist her enthusiasm, so I took a small bite. It tasted salty and chewy at the same time.
"Hmm... It's yummy!" I was shocked. I didn't expect that such this ordinary-looking meat could taste so good. I ate up the finger-sized meat in one breath and couldn't help taking another one.
"Can I also share this with my friends?" I thought that Harry and Blair would like it too. But as for Rufus, I wasn't sure. After all, he looked very picky.
"Yes, of course! I can't wait for you to do that. Maybe you can help me with the promotion so that the rat jerky of my family will be totally salable." Flora was so excited that she grabbed my hands and yelled.
"Wait... What did you just say?" I asked. My mind went blank for a moment.
"Rat jerky. It's the specialty of our pack," Flora said with a grin. It seemed that she didn't even notice anything unusual in my reaction.
As soon as she finished her words, I immediately dropped the meat and ran straight to the bathroom.
I only came out after half an hour. I vomited so hard that my eyes turned red. Enduring the nausea in my stomach, I took the candy from Flora and stuffed it directly into my mouth.
Fortunately, the fruity fragrance temporarily suppressed the meaty taste in my mouth.
"Sylvia, I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were afraid of rats," Flora said guiltily. She gripped the hem of her shirt and frowned.
I shook my head. "It's not your fault. We've just met each other, so I don't expect you to know it."
I had been afraid of rats since I was a child. And Cherry used to put dead rats on my bed, so my fear had deepened.
Flora and I then went to the canteen to find something to eat. But we were late, so there was no food left.
"Why don't we just go out to eat?" Flora suggested, rubbing her hungry stomach.
I looked up at the high crescent moon and stars in the sky outside. I hesitated for a moment. But when I saw that Flora was weak because of hunger, I finally agreed to her suggestion.
But as soon as we reached the gate, we were stopped by the guards.
"Haven't you read the students' code of conduct? No one is allowed to go out of the academy after nine o'clock in the evening. Someone will go to the dormitories to check on you. If they find out thatyou're missing, your points will be deducted."
I quickly looked up at the clock tower in the distance. There were only five minutes left before the roll call.
