Calebâs harsh reaction took Denise by surprise, causing her to stiffen visibly.
What Denise didnât know was that ever since she tried to push Dylan from the rooftop of the hospital, Caleb lost all trust in her.
Now, he saw right through her little tricks.
âCaleb, how can you say that to me?â
Denise resumed her performance and started to cry.
She acted as if Caleb had wronged her.
But no matter how many tears she shed, Caleb remained unmoved.
In the end, Denise gave up and said angrily, âFine! Since you donât want to do as I ask, youâll never get the truth!â
Then she plopped down on the bed and threatened us, saying, âYou can torture me.
I wonât say a word no matter what.
Debra, youâll never know the truth about what happened!â
I frowned tightly.
Obviously, Denise was a lot tougher than Janiya.
After all, she had learned to fend for herself as a rogue over the years.
When challenged, she could easily find a way out or make the situation advantageous to her.
After she kidnapped Dylan, Denise pretended to be his mother and went to the Thorn Edge Pack.
She made good, powerful connections in her time here, so now, we couldnât fight her head-on.
Even if Caleb managed to force some information out of her by torture, itâd probably take a long time for her to crack.
But I wasnât willing to wait that long.
After all, I had to think about Dylan and his safety, and I had a feeling that the truth Denise was hiding could be helpful in curing Dylanâs disease.
Every day, I saw how my poor son was tortured by the terrible disease.
My heart ached, and I could no longer bear to see him Like this.
There was only one thing I could do: I had to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible.
Before Caleb could scold Denise, I spoke up first.
v
âFine, weâll do as you say, Denise.
â
Then I said to Caleb, âPlease leave and take the security guards with you.
Denise and I need some privacy.
â
Wide-eyed, Caleb stared at me in disbelief.
Then he shook his head adamantly.
âNo way.
Itâs too dangerous!â
I reminded him in a low voice, âDonât forget that I can control my witch power now.
Denise canât hurt me.
Donât be afraid.
If youâre so worried, then stay outside with the guards.
As long as something goes wrong, you can come in immediately.
â
After staring at me for a moment, Caleb sighed helplessly.
He probably realized that he couldnât change my mind, so he had no choice but to obey me.
âOkay.
But promise me that if anything happens, youâll call for help right away.
