Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 1328
Flora’s POV:
I stood behind Harry, looking at Crystal’s lifeless body silently. Everyone in the mourning hall was crying-that is, everyone except me.
My heart seemed to stop beating. It felt very heavy in my chest, like a stone.
When I first heard about Crystal’s death, I thought it was a prank.
Rufus loved Crystal with all his heart. How could he let her die?
“Flora, you can cry if you feel sad. It’s okay.’
” Warren cupped my cheek and
looked at me worriedly.
I shook my head. I opened my mouth and spoke in a voice so hoarse, it was as though I hadn’t spoken in years. “I can’t cry,” I croaked.
Because until now, I still couldn’t believe that Crystal was dead, even though her body was right in front of me.
Five years ago, Crystal had faked her death. This time, maybe she was lying to us again.
I forced a smile and said, “Warren, look! Crystal has just been sleeping for seven days. I think she’s still alive.
Warren held me tightly and said in a low voice, “The forensic expert has already checked on her. She… She’s not here anymore, Flora.”
“No, no, that’s impossible. She wouldn’t die so easily. She has both the werewolf power and black witch power. How would she die so easily?” I refused to accept the facts and shook my head almost hysterically. My eyes and throat began to sting, and uncontrollable sadness enveloped my heart.
I grabbed Warren’s arm and ordered in a trembling voice, “Call the doctor! We need a doctor!”
I knew I was talking stupid, but I still couldn’t wrap my head around the idea that Crystal was dead.
Warren pulled me close and rested my head against his chest. He said sadly,
“It’s no use, Flora. We confirmed it again and again when we first arrived at the imperial palace. The reason why her body still looks alive is that Laura put some witchcraft medicine in the coffin to preserve her body, but it can only last for seven days. Her body will begin to rot after today. That’s why we’re in such a hurry to bury her.”
I didn’t say anything for a long time. When I finally calmed myself down, I stood straight and said calmly, “I still don’t believe that she’s dead.” Then I went to the ice coffin, took Crystal’s hand, and said to her, “Crystal, I’ve always believed in miracles, just like five years ago. You’ve always been so strong. You’ve always been able to think of a way out whenever you’re backed into a corner. So you can do it again this time, right? Wake up, Crystal. Are. you really willing to leave Rufus and your kids behind?”
Tears streamed down my cheeks as I spoke. I felt choked with sobs. Crystal was such a great person. Why was God so unfair to her? She had suffered a lot in her short life on this earth.
Harry also came over and squatted beside me, following suit. “Crystal, this isn’t funny. Wake up!”
“Enough. Let her rest in peace.” Laura made me and Harry stand up. “It’s time to cremate her.”
“No, we can’t just do this! We should at least let Rufus see Crystal for the last time!” looked at the others and said, “Rufus loves Crystal with all his heart. If he misses his chance to see her for the last time, he’ll go crazy.”
“Rufus is still unconscious. We can’t wait any longer. We need to let Crystal leave with dignity,” Laura said tiredly.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
I wanted to say something more, but Warren pulled me aside and said, “Flora, enough. Everyone’s mourning. Just let Crystal rest in peace.”
I pursed my lips and refused to agree with the fact that Crystal would be cremated so hastily.
But I couldn’t do anything but watch as Laura ordered guards to cover the coffin.
Another group of guards came in, ready to carry the coffin to the royal tomb to have Crystal cremated.
Just then, an ear-piercing roar came from the door. “Who dares to touch her body?!”
I was so excited that my extinguished hope was rekindled.
It was Rufus! He rushed in like a furious beast, frightening everyone. His eyes were bloodshot, his hair and clothes messy, and the back of his hands were stained with b***d. His murderous gaze swept across the hall, sending chills down everyone’s spines.
“Who said you could bury her without my permission?”
