Chapter 55: Nosebleed

Sylvia’s POV:

I woke up with a splitting headache and found myself lying on a bed.My body seemed to have been
drained of strength, and my limbs were too heavy to lift.

"What’s wrong with me?" I muttered to myself.

My memory seemed to have been cut off for a moment.I was dazed and confused, and I couldn’t
remember what had happened.

"Miss Todd, you’re finally awake!"

A she-wolf’s excited voice rang out above me.It was Maya’s voice.I looked up at her weakly.

"Maya, what happened to me?"

"You had a fever, and you fainted because of over fatigue.It was Prince Rufus who brought you
back.You just don’t know how nervous he was at that time,"

Maya explained, tugging off the corner of my quilt.

It was only then that my memory flooded over like a tide.

I remembered that before I fainted, I felt Rufus touch my head so gently.I didn’t expect that the cold
lycan prince would do it to me one day.

He even smiled, which was rare to see.

I never knew that his cold face could be so attractive when he smiled.

God knew how fast my heartbeat was at that time.



Fortunately, I didn’t have a nosebleed.

Because if I really had, I would be totally embarrassed.

"Miss Todd, why is your face so red? Has your fever spiked again?" Maya asked worriedly.

"What?" I came back to my senses and touched my face awkwardly.

It was indeed burning hot.

"No.It’s "I’ll give you a thinner one then."

After saying this, Maya turned around and was about to leave.

"No need.It’s fine." I grabbed her hand and quickly changed the topic.

"Where is Prince Rufus?"

"I have no idea," Maya replied blankly.

But I could feel that Rufus was just outside the door.

His aura seemed to have been deeply engraved in my soul.

I could immediately feel his presence as long as he was nearby.

But aside from him, I also felt another werewolf’s aura.

It was a bit familiar, but I couldn’t remember who it was.

While I was racking my brain, the door was pushed open, and Rufus came in.

He waved his hand, hinting at Maya to leave.



"How are you? Are you feeling better?"

Rufus stood in front of my bed with an unprecedented smile on his handsome face, melting the
coldness around him.I stared at him blankly as if I was mesmerized by him.

"Yeah, I’m feeling better."

"Don’t lie to me," he said as he leaned over and touched my forehead.

He obviously didn’t believe me.

As soon as I looked up, I saw his thick eyelashes drooped, and there was a trace of seriousness in his
half -opened eyes.

My face began to heat up, and I couldn’t help grasping the corners of the quilt.

Now that I was alone with him, I felt inexplicably nervous.

"Can… Can you move away from me a little? I can’t breathe," I said haltingly.

My nose was itchy, and I felt an urge.

Wait! My nose felt wet.

Could it be… I saw that the look on Rufus’ face changed.

Then he took out his handkerchief in a hurry.

"Why are you having a nosebleed all of a sudden?"

"It’s… It’s because of excessive internal heat,"I faltered.

How I wished I could dig a hole and hide.



It was too embarrassing! How could my nose bleed because of Rufus’ gorgeous face?

"By the way, who was with you outside just now?" I immediately changed the topic.

The expression on Rufus’ face froze.

Then he said perfunctorily, "No one special.We were just talking about business."

The unnatural expression on his face made my restless heart calm down.

It was as if a basin of cold water was poured into it and extinguished the fire.It was only then that I
realized that I had gone too far.

I shouldn’t have pried into his private affairs.I actually didn’t have the right to do so.So I just nodded my
head and didn’t say anything more.

The atmosphere around us suddenly cooled down.

Fortunately, a servant came in to bring my dinner, saving us from the embarrassment.

"These dishes are good for your stomach.Although they are of small quantity, they are exquisite.This is
the doctor’s order, so you should eat them all.I will also see to it that you eat on time from now on,"

Rufus explained while helping me up.

I put down the handkerchief I used to cover my nose, feeling a little bitter in my heart.

Rufus was so good to me.

If he went on like this, I was afraid I would fall in love with him.

With the huge gap between our statuses, I knew we could never have a happy ending.



‘‘Stop your wishfuļ thinking, Sylvia.There is only one way for you now, and that is to become stronger,’ I
thought to myself.

"How’s the enrollment going?" I asked, suppressing the anguish in my heart.

"The rankings haven’t been announced yet, but there must be no problem with your scores.You will be
admitted to at least Class C, so I asked them to complete your admission procedures.You will go to
school tomorrow."

As he spoke, Rufus put a small bowl of porridge on the side table.

"That soon?" I was a little surprised.

I thought I had to go through a series of reviews before being admitted to the school.

"Yes.Generally speaking, students stay in the school dormitory.But since this room is very close to the
school, you can just stay here," Rufus replied in a low voice.

"I prefer to stay in the school dormitory," I blurted out, countering his words.
