Chapter 252 Heartbroken
Sylvia's POV:
I rushed over to Maya and hugged her, but she didn't seem to recognize me. She struggled violently, mumbling something in a very hoarse voice.
"Maya, I'm Sylvia. Look at me!" I tried everything I could to calm her down.
But Maya just ignored me. She still struggled desperately. She wanted to get away from me and continue crawling forward.
My heart ached so bad seeing her like this. I held her tightly in my arms and said, "I'm sorry, Maya. I'm late. I'm so sorry."
Then I felt that Maya had stopped struggling. It seemed that she had regained her sanity. "Miss Todd?"
"Yes, it's me. Maya, sorry that I'm late," I said guiltily. I couldn't help blaming myself. I should have run a little faster.
Maya suddenly burst into tears. She clutched my sleeve tightly and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Todd. I lost Prince Rufus. I let him out of my sight. I failed you. Many people wanted to hurt him. They all pointed their swords at him. I tried my best to stop them, but it didn't work. I was alone, and there was nothing I could do. No one was willing to help him. No one stood up for him. He was in so much pain." "It's okay, Maya. Stop blaming yourself. You've done a great job. At least you stood up for him and spoke for him in front of everyone." I coaxed Maya softly, trying my best to hold back my tears. I gently brushed away the hair covering her face. Her cheekbones were bruised, and she looked rather pitiful.
Maya shook her head with tears streaming down her face. "No! They are all murderers. Everyone is a murderer. Prince Rufus is not crazy. He is not a monster. It's them who drove him crazy. They all forced him!"
"I know. I know..." This time, I couldn't hold back my tears any longer. They streamed down my face profusely. At that time, Rufus must have been lonely and helpless. He was such a powerful and arrogant man, but he was pushed to the opposite side of the world. All his bloody wounds were shown in front of everyone, and no one sympathized with him. They pinned him hard into a corner and even attacked him ruthlessly until he was severely hurt.
I hated Richard so much and even myself. If I had arrived a little earlier, Rufus wouldn't have suffered so much.
"Miss Todd, please go. Prince Rufus is waiting for you." As she spoke, Maya wiped her tears. She seemed to have regained her composure.
"Which direction did he go?" I asked anxiously.
Maya raised her hand weakly and pointed to where she was crawling just now. "Prince Rufus turned into a wolf and went in that direction. I was too powerless to catch up with him. Miss Todd, please find Prince Rufus and bring him back." "Thank you, Maya. You've done enough. Leave the rest to me. I will definitely bring Rufus back. Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will protect him." I held Maya's hand, trying to give her strength.
I saw the relieved expression on her face. She smiled at me and closed her eyes. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
I was startled at once. "Maya, what's wrong with you?"
Maya's eyes were tightly shut, and she didn't respond anymore. She seemed completely unconscious.
I put my finger before her nose. And I heaved a sigh of relief when I felt that her breathing was stable.
At this time, a group of soldiers and doctors arrived. They were probably here to rescue.
I waved at them. "Here! I need help here! Someone has fainted. Please help us!"
A doctor immediately approached us. He put Maya on the floor and checked her up. "She's fine. She just passed out. But her leg is seriously injured. We need to take her to the hospital for treatment."
"Okay, doctor. Thank you." I hurriedly stood up.
"I'll leave her to you."
"Wait! What's the patient's name?"
"Her name is Maya."
After saying this, I turned around and immediately ran in the direction Maya pointed to me.
