Chapter 153: The Witness
Sylvia's POV:
Finally, it was Saturday.I got up early in the morning, put on a thick coat, and walked out of the dormitory.
Since it was still early, and the sun hadn't come out yet, there were only a few werewolves on the empty road.
A flock of pigeons suddenly flew past me, flapping their wings, so I couldn't help quickening my pace. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
The guards at the gate were still the same group of werewolves.
When they saw me, they all smiled mischievously.
"Wow, you're so early! Finally, you're not going out late in the evening this time."
I touched my nose embarrassedly, smiled awkwardly at them, and left.
As soon as I walked out of the gate, I saw a grayish blue car parked in the middle of the road, which looked very cool.I hesitated for a moment and didn't dare to go forward.Then I began to look around.
At this time, the car honked twice as if catching my attention.I walked towards the car in confusion.
The window was rolled down, and Rufus' handsome face appeared in the driver's seat.
"Get in," he said.
I nodded, quickly opened the door, and sat in the passenger seat.
"Why were you looking around just now?"
Rufus asked as he leaned over and fastened the seat belt for me.
I coughed awkwardly and said in a low voice, "I was looking for a different car, an ordinary one.I thought we would keep a low profile since we are sneaking out."
Rufus chuckled and gently patted me on the head.
"You've watched too many movies.The more cautious we are, the more suspicious we will appear.So today, I'm taking you out arrogantly."
He then handed me a carton of milk and a sandwich.
"Have something to eat first."
I took them from him, had a bite of the sandwich, and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet."
As he spoke, he turned the steering wheel and drove towards downtown.I poked the straw in the milk carton and put it in front of his mouth.
"You drink first." Rufus took a sip of the milk.
Then I broke off a piece of sandwich and fed it to him.
We quickly finished our breakfast in this way.
He drove me around the city the entire morning and only headed to the suburb at noon.
Finally, the car stopped in front of a villa hidden in the middle of nowhere.
"Rufus...I'm a little nervous."
I got out of the car, stood beside Rufus, and held his hand tightly.
He clasped my fingers soothingly and comforted me, "Don't be afraid.I'm with you."
"By the way, who is this witness? What happened back then was so sudden that I didn't have time to know the whole story before my mother was executed."
As I spoke, I looked up at him.I noticed that Rufus hesitated for a moment.
Then a trace of pity flashed through his eyes as he said, "You'll know when you see her.But promise me, no matter what you see later, you'll stay calm."
I nodded and followed him into the villa with a heavy heart.
The villa was not big, but it was incomparably empty.
There was no furniture inside, and the windows were sealed.
The thick curtains also tightly blocked the sunlight outside.
The door creaked when Rufus closed it.
Then I suddenly heard a whimper.
I raised my eyes and looked in the direction where the sound came from.I saw a figure at the bottom of the stairs.
It was a she- wolf.
But her hair was disheveled, so I couldn't see her face clearly.
She curled up with her arms around her knees, trembling all over as if she was very scared.
"Who are you?" I felt that she looked familiar, but I couldn't tell who exactly she was.
"Sylvia!"
As soon as the she-wolf heard my voice, she suddenly raised her head, rushed over to me frantically, and hugged my leg.
She said in a trembling voice, "Sylvia, it's really you.I'm sorry, I was wrong.Please forgive me.Please forgive me, Sylvia..."
Her unique hoarse voice and speaking tone made me freeze for a moment.
I was so shocked.I pushed the hair from her face, feeling cold inside.How could it be Lena, my previous wet nurse?
