Calebâs POV:
Melanyâs stance was very obscure.
Although she had helped Debra conceal the truth, I wasnât sure how she felt about witches.
So, I kept my guard up.
Gale was a very uncompromising Alpha.
If her pack members or the Roz Town residents discovered Debraâs true identity, would they also want to kill her like the Thorn Edge Packâs residents?
If this was true, Melany could prove to be a hidden problem.
I asked tentatively, âWhat do you think about Debraâs situation?â
âI donât care about her identity.
I only remember what happened in the foggy forest.
When everyone else refused to support me in Brianâs search, Debra tried to help me find a way.
She didnât abandon Brian and me,â Melany replied with a smile.
Melany was sincere.
I could tell that she wasnât lying and my body sagged with relief.
Debraâs efforts for the Roz Town residents hadnât been in vain.
âOkay.
I understand.
â I finally relaxed a little.
âMelany, for how long was I unconscious?â
âA whole week,â Melany answered.
âWhat?â I was astounded.
âBut it feels like only one or two days have passed.
â
Melany remained composed.
âThatâs normal.
Everyone experiences the same thing after waking up from a coma.
As your consciousness is asleep, you have no sense of time.
For example, if someone has been in a vegetative state for seven or eight years, they will feel no different when they wake up.
â
I got it now.
I nodded as another thought crossed my mind.
ALL of a sudden, something struck Melany.
She said, âBy the way, we need to clarify something.
After you slipped into a coma, I announced to the public that I saved Debra and you with the medicine from Roz Town.
I also stated that its side effect was that you would be unconscious for a few days.
Donât reveal the truth.
â
âWell⦠Did anyone believe it?â I was a little dubious.
âOf course,â Melany responded confidently.
âI gave the medicine to the wolves who had gone berserk.
Then I told everyone that you and Debra took the same medicine but in larger doses, which made you have greater side effects.
Right now, the treatment has been effective for the wolves and they have regained consciousness.
Their situation will help reduce the suspicion of many people.
â
Melany gave me an in-depth explanation.
This gave me a complete understanding of this matter.
No wonder Debraâs identity had not been exposed after she used her witch power so conspicuously.
Fortunately, Melany was helping her bury the truth.
Carlos seemed to have made the right decision.
Revealing the truth to someone who could help cover up this secret was another way of protecting it.
My gratitude came from the bottom of my heart as I said, âThank you for helping us this time, Melany.
Weâre lucky to have you here.
â
âYouâre welcome.
