âIt doesnât matter,â Sally interrupted Carlos with a calm smile that poked out from behind the gauze on her face.
âTrust me.
Itâll be okay.
â
Carlos opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he decided against it and finally agreed.
He carefully put Sally down and said with concern, âBe careful, okay?
Donât walk too fast.
â
âOkay.
â
Sally slowly started to hobble towards me.
But because of her injured leg, she couldnât stand steadily after the first few steps.
She lurched forward, and my heart leaped to my throat as I rushed forward to catch her.
âWatch out!â I couldnât help but exclaim.
Sally looked at me calmly.
She didnât seem to be nervous, as though she trusted that I would protect her.
She already knew that I was a terrible Swamp Witch, yet she was not afraid of me at all.
On the contrary, she seemed to be looking at me with pity.
âThank you, Debra,â Sally whispered, hugging me gently as I held her.
âYouâve been hiding so many secrets for so long.
It mustâve been so difficult, right? If only I could help you shoulder all your burdens.
â
Sallyâs warm words made a lump form in my throat.
She was very different from before.
Previously, Sally was just a kindhearted but fragile girl from Roz Town.
At first, she was even disliked by her mate.
But after going through all that she did, she was now strong enough to comfort me, giving me a sense of warmth and encouragement.
She had really matured a lot.
I felt both sorry for and grateful towards her.
Choked with sobs, I said in a voice thick with emotion, âSally, thank you for always being there for me.
Iâm so lucky to have you as my friend.
â
Sally smiled at me encouragingly.

âI hope youâll be able to cure me, Debra, but whatever happens, Iâm also thankful I met you.
No matter what identity or bloodline you have, youâll always be my friend.
And I also believe your power isnât a curse, but a blessing!â
Her determination and sincerity affected Carlos.
He had been skeptical this whole time, but upon hearing what Sally had to say about this, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
âSince Sally trusts you wholeheartedly, Iâll leave her to you.
I hope this works!â
I nodded solemnly.
âIâll do my best.
