Chapter 1216
Rufus' POV:
I saw right through my mother's act the moment she hit the floor. Her acting skills were so poor, it was all I could do not to laugh outright.
But what could I do in this situation? Since she had gone to such lengths to try and hoodwink me, I felt obligated to pick her up and carry her to bed.
"Guards," I called out to the men stationed outside. "Call for the doctor and tell him to get here as soon as possible." sath the FindNøvel.Det website on Gøøgl to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
I watched as my mother's eyelids fluttered. She probably wasn't expecting me to call a doctor over.
But I let her be. She was still my mother, after all. If she didn't want to divulge her secrets to me, then I would not force her hand. I would just have to wait for Crystal to wake up and ask her. And if that didn't work still, I'd just have my people investigate the matter. I didn't think I would come up empty-handed in the end.
I sat by my mother's bedside and waited for the doctor to arrive. She was doing her best to stay still.
Not wanting to make things difficult for her, I stood up and went outside.
No sooner had I gone past the door than I heard the rustling sound of her turning over in the bed.
I just smiled and said nothing. Life had not been easy on my mother. She had been depressed ever since my father died. It wasn't until Beryl and Arron came that I saw her regain the energy she once had. So, no matter what secrets she was hiding with Crystal, I made up my mind not to condemn them.
The doctor arrived shortly after, and I ushered him in to give my mother an examination.
She was still pretending to be unconscious. I glanced at the fan, which had fallen on the floor. It was on the nightstand when I exited the room. She must have used it at some point and tried to put it back in a hurry.
I picked it up without a word and set it back to its original place.
After checking her, the doctor turned to me and said, "It's nothing serious. I believe she is a little distressed. I'll prescribe her some medicine, and she will be better after a good rest."
I nodded. "In any case, please do a full check-up on my mother. She has been fainting a lot these days. I'm really worried about her."
"Of course. I will arrange it right away." The doctor scurried away, presumably to fetch his instruments and whatnot.
I sat by my mother's bed and said,
"Get some rest, Mom. You can explain everything to me when you wake up. Crystal's condition is still uncertain. I can't leave her alone for too long. I'll take my leave now."
Sure enough, my mother opened her eyes and let out a fake cough. "Yes, yes, you may go. I'll be fine." "Yes, have a good rest." I stepped out

But before that, I dropped by the children's room. They were sleeping soundly on the same bed, their heads pressed against each other.
I sat on a stool beside their bed and reached out to touch their faces.
A keen sense of contentment filled me.

I felt like I was losing my mind.
I had yet to confirm the truth with facts, but in my heart, I was already sure of my suspicions.
Suddenly, Arron flailed and shouted, "Mommy!" He seemed to be having a nightmare.
I stroked his back and hummed a children's lullaby to comfort him.
Arron continued to frown and fidget for a while, but he soon drifted back to sleep.

I breathed a sigh of relief. I stood up quietly and left my mother's palace, taking the same path as before. The
