Chapter 1580: Chapter 1680

A wave of sadness crashed over me.

My hand instinctively reached for my chest as tears cascaded down my cheeks.

“Debra, what’s the matter?” Nora’s voice, tinged with concern, snapped me out of my struggle.

“Is it the noodles? You don’t like them? Don’t cry please.

I’ll whip up a fresh batch, no problem!”

“No, it’s not that.

” I rushed to reassure her, my tone softening.

“It’s just a memory.

Someone used to cook for me when I was down but now their face escapes me.

That’s all.

Your noodles are spot on.

”

“Is that so?” Nora’s brow creased with curiosity, her eyes searching.

“What made you forget all of a sudden? Did something happen?”

With a touch of sadness, I admitted, “I lost my memories.

Everything from before is just blank.

”

“What?” Surprise painted Nora’s face, her eyes widening.

“How did that happen?”

I told her the truth, my voice steady.

“I was attacked by a vampire.

When I woke up, my memories were gone.

Andrew saved Abby and me from certain doom.

Without him, we wouldn’t have stood a chance against that vampire.

”

Looking stunned, Nora pressed for more information.

“But weren’t you part of the witch clan? How did the vampire manage to attack you?”

She paused, considering.

“Witches and vampires usually steer clear of each other’s territories.

The boundaries are crystal clear.

Vampires rarely cross over, and witches hardly ever leave.

Attacks like this are extremely rare.

Could it have been planned?”

Debra’s POV:

“No,” I whispered softly in response.

“The vampire hurt me because I don’t belong to the witch clan.

”

“What?” Nora seemed surprised, her face showing confusion.

“Debra, if you’re not part of the witch clan, then where are you from?”

“Well…” I hesitated for a moment.

Though the two worlds had merged, the relationship between the two worlds was delicate.

If I told the truth…

But Nora had been genuinely kind to me, especially in caring for Abby.

I didn’t want to lie to her.

After thinking it over, I decided to be honest.

“Nora, I come from the other world.

That’s why I left the manor today, to visit my family from there.

That’s also why I didn’t tell you about it.

”

Nora seemed to understand and nodded.

“I see.

”

But then she looked puzzled.

“Debra, if you were visiting your family, why did you return so soon? Couldn’t you have stayed longer with them?”

“I…” I thought of Caleb when the family was mentioned, and my heart sank once more.

ALL those painful memories rushed back, and I felt a lump in my throat.

“What’s the use of staying?” I managed to say, my voice choked with emotion.

“They’re not really family anymore.

Staying there would just make things awkward.
