The more I thought about it, the more questions surfaced in my mind.
Countless fragmented memories plagued me, and I was so overwhelmed that I nearly passed out.
Seeing that my condition was worsening, Caleb quickly comforted me in a soft voice.
âDonât think about it too much, Debra.
What your father said isnât all terrible.
At least, I was able to take something very useful from it.
â
âWhat?â I asked in a daze.
Caleb smiled at me reassuringly.
âJudging from what happened to your mother, it seems that although a witchâs power is very strong, it can be controlled.
It means youâll also be able to control your power eventually.
Think about it.
Whenever you canât control your emotions, your power goes out of control.
But when youâre able to control your emotions⦠Well, maybe you can start using your power properly.
â
I fell into stunned silence.
What Caleb said made a bit of sense.
âNo!â
This time, it was my father who let his emotions get the better of him.
âDebra canât risk using that power again.
The power of the Swamp Witches is evil, and using her power might expose her identity.
We have to find a way to eliminate this power forever.
Otherwise, weâll never get out of this hell hole!â
I frowned tightly.
Obviously, my father still had a grudge against the Swamp Witches.
And judging from what he said just now, he was still doubting my mother.
However, Caleb didnât change his mind.
âI beg to differ.
As far as I know, thereâs no solid evidence that proves that witchcraft is inherently evil.
And while history books might claim that they are, you have to remember that history is always written by the victors.
They try to slander their enemies as much as possible to justify their actions.
That way, they can control the publicâs minds and stabilize their own rules.
In a word, so- called historical facts are not always credible.

My fatherâs nostrils flared in anger.
âWhat the hell are you talking about? Iâve witnessed it with my own eyes.
Isnât that enough?â
âNo, you didnât witness anything.
On the day you regained your eyesight, although a baby died for no apparent reason, there was no direct connection between the two events.
You based your conclusion on a doctorâs guess.
Until now, you still canât prove that the baby died because your wife used witchcraft.
â
My father, who hated being questioned, blushed and retorted excitedly, âSo what? The baby was healthy up until it died suddenly.
How could there be such a coincidence?â
Caleb smiled at my father, but it was devoid of warmth.
âIf I were you, I wouldâve asked Debraâs mother to use her power to treat another patient to see if a life really needed to be sacrificed in exchange.
I wouldnât have convicted Debraâs mother just because of some doctorâs guess.
