Chapter 130

Zenovia

My breathing was ragged, and I had trouble focusing on the surroundings. My legs were wobbly as I paved my way through the forest, trying not to trip.

The scene I had seen with my own eyes…it had left me shaken. Who was that girl? And why had she died?

Based on the appearance of the hooded figure in the scene and the one hovering in front of me, it seemed that both of them were the same.

The witch was there when the girl, Aisy, died. And…Callahan looked utterly distraught when she was injured and taking her last breaths.

What could be the cause of her death? He had argued with the witch that it was not Aisy’s fault, but that it was his.

And the witch said that I had to leave him if I did not want to suffer the same fate. Why did she say that?

And why not show me her face or reveal her identity? There were so many questions in my head, each thought more confusing than the other.

Clutching my chest, I slowly made my way toward the mansion walls and back to the huge front yard.

It was still night time, and the coast was clear, so I slipped in through the gates and headed straight to my room.

My throat felt dry, and I was sweating profusely. Taking the support of the walls and the railing, I slowly made my way towards the kitchen and opened the fridge..

Instead of taking a glass to pour some water in it, I directly put the bottle to my mouth after removing the cap, gulping down as if I had run a marathon.

By the time I finished drinking the water, my breathing had calmed down a little. Wiping my face with the back of my hand, I refilled the empty bottle and put it back in the fridge.

I gave a startled cry when I saw a familiar face staring at me when I closed the fridge door.
