The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)
Chapter 1016 See You Around

Crystal's POV:

When confronted with Beryl's pleading, I couldn't let out a word. It was as if a lump was stuck in my throat.

"Are you leaving? Mommy, please don't go. I promise I will listen to you and won't be naughty anymore." Then she cupped her hands around my face with her pleading eyes. My eyes welled up with tears as I said in a broken voice, "Baby Beryl has always been a good girl. Mommy loves you."

"So Mommy, you will not leave anymore?" Beryl eyed me expectantly.

I moved my lips but I couldn't bring myself to really speak and refuse her plea.

"Crystal, maybe you can postpone your plan. Why do you need to leave in such a hurry anyway?" Laura also persuaded me in a low voice. She was obviously sympathizing with Beryl.

I fell silent for a long time. My mind was a mess. Now was the best time for me to leave before it was too late. If Rufus found out anything, I might not have the chance to leave anymore.

"Mommy, please." Beryl pouted and shook my arm in an adorable way. Every time she wanted me to do something for her, she would always do that. In most cases, I would be too soft and agree, but this time, I simply couldn't take the risk.

I took a deep breath and asked Beryl gently, "Beryl, can you close your eyes now? Mommy wants to perform a magic trick for you. And after that,

Mommy will tell you the answer."

"Okay!" Beryl was ecstatic because she thought I had given in, as she had originally demanded. She couldn't wait to close her eyes and said, "Mommy, hurry up. Baby Beryl wants to go to bed because I need to get up early to have breakfast with Daddy tomorrow morning."

Laura couldn't bear to see it anymore. She turned her head away and wiped her tears silently.

With red and teary eyes, I replied, "Okay. Now keep your eyes closed."

Then, I raised my hand and cast a spell on her. Seconds later, she collapsed in my arms.

"Will this spell harm her? How long will she be unconscious?" Laura asked worriedly.

"It's just a sleeping spell. It's not harmful to her body and mind, and she will wake up tomorrow," I answered softly, looking at the little girl in my arms with evident pain in my eyes.

Hearing my words, Laura was finally relieved. She bent over and caressed Beryl's face, asking again, "Where is Arron right now?"

"He's staying at my place." As I answered, I reached into my pocket and handed Laura a small sachet. "Arron made this for you. There are some herbs in it that will help you sleep better. Just place this under your pillow."

Laura took over the sachet and stared at it for a while. An evident hint of sadness flashed across her face. "I don't know when we will see each other again after you leave."

I responded calmly, "With the way things are right now, it's better for me to be more careful. When I return to the border pack, I will ask one of my men to buy me a new phone card with his identity. By then, we can do our regular video calls again. I don't think Rufus will check your phone."

Upon hearing this, Laura immediately put on a smile and said, "Great! That's a good idea."

With a smile, I settled Beryl on the sofa and gave Laura a hug. "Take care of yourself, okay?"

Laura was stunned for a moment. Then, she hugged me back and said, "Okay. And be careful. If you need my help, just give me a call. I will always be on you and your kids' side."

I nodded with half a smile. "No problem. See you around."

"See

you

around."

After that, I left Laura's palace with the sleeping Beryl in my arms.

Although it was at night and no one else walked on the road, I still felt a little nervous. I couldn't stop fearing that one of Rufus' men would pop around a corner and try to stop me.

But to my surprise, it didn't happen, which made me feel a little strange. It was not like Rufus at all.

Forgot it. I might have been overthinking again.

I quickly went back to my place and found Arron having snacks with Flora.

To my surprise, Warren, Harry, and Joanna were also there.
