Addy looked even more stunned and scared than I felt.
âIsnât Debra your fiancee? How can she be the Luna of the Thorn Edge Pack?â
This time, Andrew remained silent and just looked at me.
I understood that he wanted me to explain the truth myself, and I was ready to do just that.
Seizing the moment, I took Calebâs arm and said in a firm yet calm voice, âYes, Caleb is my husband.
I was gravely injured and saved by Andrew, but I also lost my memory due to the injury and couldnât remember my past.
â
Addyâs face showed a mix of emotions.
I continued, âIt was only a few days ago when Caleb found me that I started to remember that I have a husband.
We will soon make it known that my engagement to Andrew is void.
We are here now to retrieve our child.
â
Addy looked at the three of us with a puzzled expression, then turned to Andrew and said in a cold and sarcastic tone, âYouâre becoming less cautious.
You donât even know your fianceeâs true background.
Youâre so impulsive.
How can you be a competent vice leader for the witch clan?â
Andrew, clearly irritated, said sharply, âIâll address these misunderstandings myself.
Right now, the priority is to locate Caleb and Debraâs child.
If anything happens to the child in this manor, the entire Thorn Edge Pack will become the enemy of the witch clan!â
Almost instinctively, Addy opposed.
âShirley has been resting.
She couldnât possibly have taken the child.
â
I couldnât hold back and said coldly, âJust now, Shirley confessed over the phone that she has the child.
She did it to get back at me.
â
Addy still resisted the idea.
âThatâs absurd! Itâs impossible!â
I sneered, âI recorded our conversation just now.
Would you like to hear it now, or should I share the recording online for everyone to see what she has been up to?â
Caleb added, âStarting a war with the witch clan isnât my desire, but I draw the line at my child being harmed.
We can resolve issues among adults, but if Shirley harms my daughter, the Thorn Edge Pack will seek justice here within days.
â
Calebâs expression was cold, and he didnât appear to be joking.
The tension suggested that a conflict
between the two clans was imminent.
Addy realized the situation was worsening.
She changed her approach and said, âLetâs not jump to conclusions.
This seems to be a misunderstanding.
Please, come inside first.
â
She personally led us to Shirley and instructed her assistant to notify Veronica.
We followed Addy to Shirleyâs room.
Upon entering, the strong scent of disinfectant hit me.
I was taken aback to see Shirley, seated at her bedside, heavily bandaged in white gauze.
Though I was aware of the fire, I hadnât expected Shirley to be so severely injured.
It became clear why Shirley had taken my child.
Her injuries must have caused her great distress, misinterpreting her judgment.
Shirley now seemed dangerously unstable.
My anxiety grew; I wanted to take my child and leave immediately.
But as Shirley saw me, she Laughed bitterly and said sarcastically, âThe doctor says my face is severely burned and my skin is completely ruined.
Not even the best beauty salon could restore my looks fully.
Are you pleased to see me like this?â
I was at a loss for words and chose not to respond.
After all, her current state was her own doing.
Addy quickly tried to comfort her.
âShirley, donât think Like that.
Weâll find a way to help you.
â
