Chapter 200: Rescue

Rufus’ POV:

Together with the gray wolf, I rushed back to the hospital.

Just when we were finally about to reach Sylvia’s ward, I turned around.

"Awoo…?"

The gray wolf sniffed the air in confusion, seeming to have picked up Sylvia’s scent.

It rushed over to the ward and pawed the door, telling me to open it.

"Just wait here for a while.I’ll have the laboratory test this plant."

I quickly then made my way to the lab.

Just in case, I thought it would be better to have the doctors check the plant first whether it was
poisonous or not.

I did not dare gamble on Sylvia’s life simply on an unknown plant.

When I got back from the lab, I spotted the gray wolf baring its teeth at the door of the ward.Its body
language told me that it was very anxious and tense, ready to bust down the door at any moment.I
hurriedly opened the door for it and the wolf rushed it immediately.

Sylvia was still lying in her bed with a coma.I walked over and caress her smooth forehead.

"When the results for the plant test comes out, you’re going to wake up soon."

The gray wolf growled at what I said.



It seemed to be disdainful.It nudged me away from the side of Sylvia’s bed so that it could climb on top
and lie down beside her.

I didn’t bother stopping the wolf, thinking that Sylvia would be very happy to have its accompaniment.

Anxiously, I paced back and forth.I couldn’t just sit down and stay calm until the test results had come
out.

Never in my life had I felt like time was passing by so slowly.

Even the gray wolf became anxious as well.

It hopped off the bed and nipped at my trousers.

It seemed to be telling me it wanted to go somewhere.

At this time, the door creaked open and in came Ferrill with the results.

"What’s the news?"

Without waiting for him to respond, I took the clipboard and read it for myself.

The gray wolf jumped onto the table beside me and placed a paw on my arm, wanting to read it too.

Although I didn’t think it would even understand what was written, I still moved a little so that it could
see.

"Results show that the plant is harmless.They don’t know yet if it will produce any other adverse side
effects.Unfortunately, the most important part of the results say that the plant doesn’t seem to have a
detoxification effect."

Ferrill pursed his lips awkwardly.



"The gray wolf got down from the table and roared at Ferrill, its eyes burning with anger.It looked like it
was ready to attack Ferrill in the next second.Frightened, I’errill didn’t dare to move.

"Can… Can it understand what we’re saying?"

I got a little annoyed and stood in front of the gray wolf after folding up the results.

"Be quiet."

The gray wolf’s growling stopped and it stubbornly plopped onto the floor.

At this point, its bandage had also come loose, exposing the deep wound on its neck.

"Where’s the plant?" I turned to Ferrill.

"Right here."

Ferrill handed me a resealable bag and gave me a hesitant look.

"Are you really considering it? What if it only makes the situation worse?"

I then looked back at the plant and fell into a more painful dilemma.What was I supposed to do now?
Suddenly, the ECG monitor let out a long, sharp sound.The line on the monitor was almost running
straight.

That was Sylvia’s heartbeat.It was about to stop.

Scared out of my wits, I rushed to Sylvia’s bed.

"Sylvia!"

As several doctors came in for cardiac resuscitation, Ferrill had to pull me away from the bed..



The noise of the different people and instruments filled my ears with pain.I tried to shake it off, but I
could already feel lightheaded.

"The patient’s main artery is untouchable."

"The upper limb contraction pressure is less than 60mmHg."

"Prepare for electric defibrillation."

Despair came over me like an avalanche.

All of a sudden, my surroundings had been deafened.

I could not hear anything until I saw Ferrill approaching me and I saw his lips moving.I realized he was
talking as I came back to my senses.

"What were you saying?"

"Miss Todd has been successfully resuscitated."

But Ferrill sighed.

"However, she is still in critical condition."

All the strength I had just regained dissipated again, and my knees buckled.

Ferrill had to hold me up.

I clumsily pushed his hands away and made my way to the gray wolf, who was also very anxious.I
handed it the plant.

Rufus’ POV:



The gray wolf turned its head and scanned the room, pouncing onto Ferrill all of a sudden.

Ferrill was so frightened that he fainted on the spot.

"Owoo!"

The gray wolf howled and patted Ferrill’s mouth with its paw.

It must have patted with enough strength to wake Ferrill up again.

But before Ferrill could even completely open his eyes, he saw the gray wolf inches away from his face
and gasped in horror.

His eyelids twitched two times before losing consciousness yet again.

"Owoo!"

The gray wolf then turned to me.

It pawed at Ferrill’s mouth repeatedly.

I was able to understand what it was trying to say.I plucked out a leaf from the plant and stuffed it into
my mouth, spreading a bitter taste on my tongue.

"Prince Rufus, no! We still don’t know what that plant can really do!"

An old doctor on the side was horrified and tried to stop me.

"If something bad happens to you, what are we going to tell the lycan king?"

Ignoring him, I continued to chew the leaf and then bent down to transfer it into Sylvia’s mouth carefully.

Sylvia’s lips were very pale now.



Because she was still unconscious, she didn’t swallow it, but at least the chewed leaf managed to stay
in her mouth.

"Please, Sylvia.Swallow."

I softly begged, but she didn’t move.

I gently poured some water into her mouth.

The water eventually spilled out, but I hoped it could help her swallow the leaf a little.

By the time I had repeated this process several times, only a small root of the plant was left.

After hesitating, I decided to chew on the last of the plant and apply it on Sylvia’s wound which had
turned black.I calmed down a little bit after that and held Sylvia’s hand, sitting on the side of her bed.I
was so anxious that it felt like my heart was rising up to my throat, but Sylvia was still motionless on her
bed.

"Why hasn’t anything happened yet?" I glared at the gray wolf, who was sat at the edge of the bed.

However, it ignored me and just lay on its stomach.

It didn’t seem to want to talk to me anymore.

"No medicine takes effect that quickly.Just wait a little longer.As long as it doesn’t cause any other side
effects, it should be fine."

The old doctor handed me a glass of water.

"You haven’t slept all this time.Why don’t you get some rest first? We can keep an eye on Miss Todd for
you."



I gratefully took the glass of water.

"No, thank you.I will stay with her."

"You’re going to get sick."

I pursed my lips stubbornly, not saying anything.

Helplessly, the doctor sighed.

"Fine.We’ll be around.If you need anything, feel free to call us."

With that, the old doctor called for someone to move Ferrill to a safe place until he could come back to
his senses.

The gray wolf quickly glanced at me and snorted, and then turned its big head away.

This was the second time today it had shown disdain towards me.

I didn’t really care much about it.I just held Sylvia’s hand and gently squeezed it, praying that she would
wake up soon.

Time passed, and slowly, her hand grew warm.

When I felt the change in her temperature, I nudged the gray wolf who was just about to fall asleep.

"She’s getting warm!"

Instantly, the gray wolf jumped up, wide awake, and came closer.

Sylvia’s face was no longer as pale as it was.

I carefully rolled up her sleeved.



The deathly black color on her wound had begun to fade.

Reaching up, I pushed the call button at the bed’s headboard.

The old doctor came back in no time and checked on Sylvia, only to be pleasantly surprise.

"How impressive.This unknown herb actually worked! Her pulse and heartbeat have normalized.Miss
Todd is definitely getting better.She should wake up soon!"

All of a sudden, Sylvia’s fingers and eyelids twitched slightly.

Holding my breath, I stared at her.

But just as Sylvia was about to open her eyes, the gray wolf jumped up and stood in front of her, giving
me only a full view of its furry behind.
