Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 567

Sylvia’s POV:

I took out the transparent gemstone and, to my surprise, there was a manual in the box.

The manual explained that the gemstone would be transparent when not in use. However, after the user dripped their own b***d onto it, the gemstone would turn pale pink, and from then on, it would only be effective for this user. The gemstone would then become hot when someone who was related to the user by b***d was within one meter of the user.

To put it simply, this gem could be used to recognize its user’s relatives.

I remembered that there was a simple mention of this gem in the book I had read just now. I was under the impression that it was a powerful tool, but it was just a low level magical item. Other than recognizing relatives, it was useless! Besides, it was easy to produce and didn’t cost that much. Such trinkets were easy to find in the black market.

Realizing this, I pursed my lips unhappily and put the gem back into the wooden box. “It’s useless.”

“What do you mean?” Flora picked up the box I had just set aside and shouted excitedly, “Aren’t you looking for your father? This could be helpful!”

I paused in my tracks. Flora had no idea that I had taken Edwin’s b***d for a paternity test before I left the imperial capital city.

If the test result showed that Edwin was really my father, then I had no need for this gem.

But Flora looked so hopeful that I didn’t have the heart to refuse her.

“I guess I could hold onto it first.” I took the box from her and looked at the gem again. Suddenly, I felt a bit of wonder. How could this ordinary gem recognize relatives?

“Then you’d better put your b***d on it already so that it’ll respond only to you! If something happens and it is stained with someone else’s b***d, then it’ll really be useless.” Flora kept urging me persistently.

I felt helpless. “The pendant’s in its box. I doubt someone else’s b***d will stain it.”

I knew Flora was just looking out for me. It was touching to see how enthusiastic she was to help me find my father. Before I met Edwin, Flora had even gone so far as to send sketches of the pattern on the piece of the cloth my mother had left to me to her pack, asking her father to help her investigate the matter.

“Why take the risk?” As Flora spoke, she grabbed my hand, and before I understood what she was up to, she bit the tip of my finger.

Flora had moved so fast that I wasn’t able to stop her.

B***d seeped out of the bite wound and dripped onto the gem. A few seconds later, the gem slowly turned pink, and there was even a vein-shaped pattern inside it.

Under the light, the whole gem glittered and glowed a warm pink hue. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

“Perfect! Put it on. It’ll help you find your father sooner or later; I just know it!” Flora hung the gem around my neck gleefully. “When we get out of here, I’ll take you to my pack. You’ll definitely meet your father there!”

Seeing her enthusiasm, I felt moved. I lowered my head to look at the gem resting delicately on my collarbone. I didn’t want to frustrate Flora.

Seeing her enthusiasm, I felt moved. I lowered my head to look at the gem resting delicately on my collarbone. I didn’t want to frustrate Flora.

Then, I thought about Edwin and had mixed feelings. Obviously, Edwin didn’t want to acknowledge me as his daughter.

If the paternity test report proved that he was really my father…

I couldn’t shake off the fear that he’d refuse to accept me. I didn’t want to experience rejection from my own father.

Edwin already had his own life. If he really didn’t want me, maybe the most decent thing to do would be not to disturb him.

In this case, if I could at least know who my father was, then I’d at least fulfill my mother’s dying wish.

I supposed Flora was right and I could just wear this gem. If Edwin wasn’t my father, then this gem could be useful.

Perhaps I’d meet my biological father in Flora’s pack.

“I don’t think Edwin’s your father,” Yana suddenly said.

“What makes you say that?” I asked, startled.

“Call it a wolf’s intuition!” Yana answered lazily.

“I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.”

After thinking about it for a while, I slipped the box with the manual into my pocket.
