Wide-eyed, he shook his head and replied hastily, âOh, itâs nothing.
â
Although I found his reaction a bit strange, I didnât ask any more questions.
I tidied up the messy sink and then turned around to leave.
However, he seemed to have something on his mind.
âDebra, do you believe that thereâs some mysterious power that can heal people? Like bringing new life into this world?â
Stunned, I looked at him in confusion.
What on earth was that supposed to mean?
He approached me with a grim look on his face.
âBut thereâs a huge price to pay for this power.

â
My eyes widened in disbelief.
âDo you know about my mysterious power?â
He sighed.
âAlas, this day finally comes.
â
My heart skipped a beat.
For so long, I had felt like a lone boat wandering in the boundless sea.
I felt so confused and flustered, at a loss what to do with my mysterious power.
But his words were like a faint beacon in the distance.
He mustâve known something!

Debraâs POV:

My fatherâs face fell and he immediately clamped his hand over my mouth.
âKeep your voice down!â he hissed, looking around nervously to check if anyone had overheard.
