One misty day, Andrew paid me another visit.
I seized this rare chance to ask him some questions that had been on my mind.
Remembering his story about my rescue, I asked curiously, âMr.
Pierce, are there only vampires and witches in this world? No other races?â
âYouâre right,â Andrew confirmed.
âVampires and witches wield their powers here.
Other races once existed, like werewolves, but they were weaker and soon wiped out.
â
This piqued my curiosity further, prompting me to ask, âThen how do vampires and witches keep things balanced? Why hasnât one side completely dominated the other?â
Andrew gave a slight smile, but his tone was serious.
âVampires are naturally aggressive and excel in combat, making them fierce in one-on-one fights and patient with their targets.
But they have a critical weakness.
They fear sunlight, which limits their activities to the night.
Witches, meanwhile, are peace-loving and usually avoid conflicts.
Theyâre also very powerful, which makes it difficult for vampires to attack them rashly.
This balance is why things are relatively calm now.
â
âI seeâ¦â I nodded, absorbing the information.
Andrew gave me a rough sketch of the world, and it sparked even more curiosity about my own beginnings.
I was not just any witch or a sinister vampire.
I was a rare mix of witch and werewolf.
Despite trying hard to remember, my mind was completely empty.
Andrew then asked, âDebra, how have you been feeling these last few days? Any memories come back to you?â
I sighed and shook my head.
âNo, nothing.
Itâs like my memories have packed up and left.
My mind is totally clear.
â
Andrew offered gentle reassurance.
âItâs alright, take your time.
Thereâs no need to rush.
â
I replied with a nod, âOkay.

Having my child around and receiving Ivyâs constant support calmed me down a lot.
I was not as restless as I used to be, and I was seeing things more clearly.
Getting my memories back would be great, but Iâm managing without them.
Still, I couldnât understand why the nurses seemed to dislike me so much.
Puzzled, I asked, âMr.
Pierce, why do the nurses dislike me so much when I havenât done anything to them?â
Andrew looked helpless and apologized.
âIâm really sorry.
Itâs an awful tradition among witches.
We revere pure bloodlines, so mixed-blood witches face a lot of prejudice.
No matter what, a mixed-blood witch Like you will always face scorn and dislike from others.
â
Debraâs POV:
It hit me.
ALL the cold stares and harsh words from the nurses replayed in my mind, merging into a single, sharp realization.
It was class discrimination.
In this world, mixed-blood witches are viewed as the lowest of the low, just like beggars on the street.
It was no surprise that the first nurse treated me so harshly.
To her, I was completely unworthy of even standing near the esteemed deputy clan leader, Andrew, let alone seducing him.
âWhy do they have to be like this?â Ivy burst out in frustration.
