The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia)

Chapter 1275 A Comeback

Crystal's POV:

Laura was confused. She glanced at the children to make sure they couldn't hear us. Then she turned to face me and said in a low voice, "Crystal, is it because Beryl had forgot about you once that you've been treating her strangely? If you've got something against her, let her stay with me. I don't want Beryl to get hurt."

I felt terrible and tried to explain helplessly, "How could I have anything against my own daughter? Beryl's my baby, my dearest sweetheart. I love her so much—"

"Then why are you so mean to her?" Laura looked even more confused. She pulled me into the other room to make sure the little ones couldn't eavesdrop. "I know you're a reasonable person, Crystal. You must have your own reasons for treating Beryl like that. By the way, I wanted to ask why you and Rufus came so late last night. I wanted to ask you about it last night, but I didn't because the children were also there."

I was choked with sobs and couldn't say anything. I was afraid that Laura wouldn't be able to accept the possibility that Noreen was in Beryl's body, and that she'd end up treating Beryl like a monster. After all, she hated Noreen so much.

Just then, a light cough interrupted our conversation.

We both turned to look in the direction of the sound, only to find Rufus walking towards us. He sighed and said to his mother, "Last night, Crystal and I went to the forbidden forest. Noreen's corpse had turned to ashes."

Laura's jaw went slack. "How can that be? Noreen's remains were indestructible!"

"Yeah, they were but not anymore. Rufus and I think that her soul has found shelter elsewhere," I said grimly.

"What do you mean? Are you saying Noreen's soul found a host?" Laura asked anxiously. Suddenly, it dawned on her. She looked at me in horror and asked in disbelief, "Are you saying she's in Beryl's body?!"

"Yes, that's what we think," Rufus nodded solemnly.

"That's impossible. How on earth could she do that? I didn't feel anything unusual with Beryl..." Laura seemed to find it hard to accept. In a daze, she looked at me and asked softly, "Is that why you treated Beryl like that last night?"

"Yes. I was so worried that Beryl

would try to hurt Arron, so I acted on impulse," I explained with a heavy sigh, feeling powerless. Fortunately, after getting some rest, I felt calmer and more collected than last night. "Just now, I thought of something. When Lucy kidnapped Beryl and took her to the forbidden forest, Beryl was wounded and bleeding. I think her blood happened to seep into the ground where Noreen was buried, so Noreen used that as an opportunity to possess Beryl."

"How on earth is she that powerful?" Laura sounded scared and anxious, but she was still a little skeptical. "But Bery has been acting normal except when she just woke up. And Arron is her twin brother. If there was something wrong with her, he should've noticed."

"Arron's only five years old. Even if he sensed that something was wrong, he'd just think that his sister was still recovering from her coma," I said softly.

Although soul parasitism sounded totally outrageous, it made sense if Noreen was the one doing it.

Noreen was a powerful black witch, so it was very likely that she had used some forbidden spell on her body before she died. She decided to make a comeback when the time was right.

Laura was speechless. She grimaced and pressed her fingers against her temples, as though she had a pounding headache.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"I didn't want to believe it either. It wasn't until I saw the weird smile on Beryl's face that I was convinced that Noreen was in fact using Beryl's body." Speaking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little pissed off. Noreen was really getting on my nerves.

Obviously, she had provoked me on purpose. She just wanted to see me suffer.

"Wait a second." Laura suddenly

raised her head and looked at us

seriously, "remember that Beryl wasn't wounded when Lucy kidnapped her. You and Rufus,, the other hand, were both injured. Could the blood that seeped into Noreen's tomb be yours, not Beryl's?"
